In October, 1871, the mansion of a
Belgian nobleman, near Brussels, was
sacked and burned, and the finding of
the remains of the proprietor in the
blackened ruins created the greatest
excitement. A gardener known by the
uame of Carl .Vogt. who had been in
the noblemanHs employ. sailed for
England the morning after the fire.
and as it was known that his employer
had offended him by inducing him to
marry discarded mistress, suspicion
at once pointed to him as the probable
perpetrator of the triple crime OF rob-
berry, arson and murder. Vogt was
traced to London, where it was dis
covered that he had met a young wo-
man from his native town in Prussia,
and sailed with her for the United
States. In December of that year he
was arrested in Philadelphia, where he
was lavishly spending the proceeds OF
stocks, bonds and securities known to
have been the property of his former
employer-the Belgian nobleman. He
was afterward taken to New York,
and, in order to prevent his release,
on q writ of habeas corpus, was in
dicted for bringing stolen property into
the State. His trial for this offense was
conveniently delayed pending an APP
plication OF the Belgian authorities to
the Governor of New York to extradite
him. Meantime the woman who ac-
companied him employed lawyers
to assist him, and when the Governor
delivered the prisoner to the Belgians
writ of habeas corpus was sued out
from the Superior Court, which WAS
served in time to prevent the prisoner
from being transferred from the Tombs
to steamer on the point of sailing for
Europe. The Court decided the law
upon which the Governor acted to be
in conflict with the Constitution of the
United States, and ordered Vogt
to be discharged from custody. He
was Immediately rearrested on bench
warrant based upon the indictment,
and the Prussian Government was in
duced to demand his surrender on the
ground that he was Prussian subject
and under the laws of that Kingdom
amenable to trial in Prussia for crime
committed in foreign country; but the
authorities at Washington held that
such claim by foreign government
could not be recognized in the United
States. Vogt was held as prisoner,
and treaty between the Belgian Gov
eminent and the United States was rat
flied, containing a retroactive clause to
meet the requirements of his case, and
last week he was taken to Europe for
trial. When first arrested he was fine
looking, robust man, now he is gray
and wrinkled. His arrest and supposed
guilt created considerable comment
four years ago, and his trial which will
shortly take place, will be watched
with interest by many in this country.

convinced the feeling of the jury would
not be swayed by spleen or inveetive.
What authority had any counsel to
state that the jury in this case would
acquit the defendant. He knew that
the means used by the defense were
powerful, that the machinery put in
motion was wonderfully constructed,
that the defense of counsel was con-
vinciug, but the jurors were sworn to
decide the case on the evidence. The
defendants lawyers protested undoubt-
ed faith in the innocence oftheir client,
still they had talked for thirteen days.
Beach paid high compliment to Por-
ter, but said he was Inundated by
association with the case. He had
never uttered word presagirg his
clients innocence, but vulgarity and
abuse had been heaped upon Titon.
Moulton and Mrs. Moulton and their
friends had been attacked with devilish

break down these charges was to make
them appear disgusting in the eyes of
