and was secretary 10 several ministers. After
some domestic misfortunes he came to France
There his strange department attracted atten-

The police officer follow ed him and found that
he had magnificent library, furnished with
so 900 francs worth of hooks. The accused
declared that he had bought the greater guam
tity, but that he had stolen many He said he
was subject to mania, which deprived him
of his reason and free will, when IN the pres
ence OF books. When called upon to give ex
plantations to the court he rose, and with a
voice treinulous with emotion, said:
