Asif nv way of a running commentary OH
tho ncrplnxi;ics Of the Tichhorne tEt'i, t!ic
prescnt moment Is prolific in cases oi 'i',S-
t,scu identity. One or two we have a!ieao!
| c,;cd Hardly less curious than these Is tlla1
| of the Communist PiSerre, lately on 'rtai i'r
| n,rticipation in the massacre of the Hostages
nf I, Rooucttr. and to whom we nave al
re,Lv referred. At one time It seemed rs
,hou"h his case WAS desperate indeed. II
,r.. of1er witness confronted with him posi-
lively identified Pigerrc rs the leader OF the
firing rtrty. Some Of the witnesses went
into minute details Of his conduct. One re-
cognizcd him us the person who had struck
him witha sabrea the prison. And, although
Pigerre boldly faced each of his accllSers IN
turn, and vchcmently contradicted their as
sc,tions. the weight of evidence was over
whclninyIr against him. and his intrepid'ty
was ascribcd to the cll'rontcry of guilt.
Now it appears to have been due to con-
seriousness of innocence. AT almost the last
moment Il new witness appeared named jar
rulld, who testified that he Was present IL
the execution. and that the officer III conf
maud was not pi"crre al all but person
named Sicard. Presently, in point oil iac,
Sicgrd was brought into court, pale, trclii-
bling, emaciatcd with sickness, almost dying.
Yet. in spite of the alteration produced by
his Illness, there was evident, at once, Il
striking likeness to Pigerre. Sicard adj
mittcd that he had been captain I'M
der La Commune, and present at La
Rouuucttc lust before the massacre. lie
most positive Of PiScrrc'S accuser5 were
recalled, and asked TO compare him with
Scartl. but they llcSitatcd and doubled. Inc
one who had been struck with sabre now
thought it was Sicard who had struck HIM.
The Government itself virtually abandoned
the prosecution against plgclr@, ana the
lucky c,tliNcl-makcr was acqli!tcd--rcSclicu,
in all probability, from what seemed incylta-
bic death, not less by his own astonishing!
nerve than by the lucky chance which saved
Jarlnl:d for his Nindiclion.
As if by compensation Tor this victim,
clutchcl rs il were from the very Jaws OF
the %uilotinc, Pigcrrc's escape was con.
il7'Scd with the almost equally unexpected
ruin of Il icllow-priSoncr whose chances were
at first considered most favorable. The I'M
lortunatcs name was Gcnton, and Jarrh'ld
was his destroyer as he WAS PigerIc> savior.
AZ il was, Grnton might have escaped had
not his evil genius prompted him to ask the
witness if lie had ever seen him at La Ro-
quettc. Whcrcnpon Jarraud responded That
he had not only seen Gcnton there, but
that the latter had brought the order
for the execution OF the hostages, had gone
back twice TO get inlOrmaitics cor
rcctcd, and had been altogether most zeal
Gus il! forwarding The massacre. Poor Cen
ton naturally grew pale at this precise lndlct-
mcnt, and from that moment his guilt seems
TO have been accepted as Il forcSonc conclu-
sion. The counsel, with anolion of an adlo-
