EXPLANATIoN.-In this column Yesterday. we |
stated that the governor had pardoned Jules
Derbes, who had been sentenced to the peniten
tiary for horse stealing. We have been requested
to state that the real name of the person pardoned
is Jules Moreau, and that he has no claim to the
name of Berries, and is in no wsy connected with |
the highly respectable family of Derbes, so well !
known to most of the readers of the CRESCENT.
ANOTHER sUICDE.-Dr Delery, coroner, held
an inquest yesterday on the body of young
woman named Jennie Mitchell, who had taken
fatal dose of laudanum, at the house of Maria
Wilson, on Customhouse street. The deceased,
according to the evidence before the jury, was
about twenty-five years of age, and resided for
merly in Waterloo, Iowa. No definite cause
for the destruction of her life by the
unfortunate woman has yet been ascer.
tanned. Various motives have been attrib
uted, but which Of them is the most plausible
it is almost impossible to decide. The verdict
of the jury of inquest was simply that she had
taken dose Of laudanum sufficient to cause her
death. The testimony was not of positive char
acter, and the investigation of the affair was hardly
as complete as it might have bean. In this con.
nection, we deem it imperative to say that either
the law does not at present provide as stringently
as it might against the readiness with which poi
sons are sold, or its provisions are not properly
enforced.

found dead at No. 1876 Magazine street. died Of
