trap his victims, took to himself a secre-
tary. The person employed by this
sham prince as his scribe was none
other than the whilom secretary Of M.
Fornerod, one OF the ex-pfesidents of
the Swiss confederation. Roussel made
the acquaintance of these two gentle
men, and the trio formed an association
for raising funds to enable Ben Ali Guen-
aori to recover the lost throne OF his an
cestors. At the same time they organ
lied society for utilizing the sweep
ings of Paris. While they were making
dupes Of the credulous, and amusing
themselves at the public dancing rooms
and skating palaces, the notary business
at Courbevoie was rapidly going to ruin,
and at length the crash came. Roussel,
finding it impossible to hide the state of
his affairs any longer, proclaimed
himself bankrupt, with liabilities
amounting to $50, 900 francs, and assets
nil. The inquiry Set on foot in behalf
of the number of poor persons ruined by
the notary's profligacy, led to his arrest.
His bearing In court was characteristic
of the man; he feigned injured inno-
cence in a manner worthy Of Tartuffe.
However, with that excessive mercy
with which most French juries temper
their Justice, he was given the benefit Of
extenuating circumstances, and, al
though found guilty Of embezzlement,
he got off with five years imprisonment.
The Elk County advocate. [volume] (Ridgway, Pa.) 1868-1883, 1878-08-01
A Short Story of Paris Life.

The adventures of Jean Baptiste
Roussel make one of the strangest chap
ters in the criminal records of Paris.
He was articled to an attorney at Lille,
made an advantageous marriage, and
opened an office at Tourcoing, where he
was known as a cold, methodical, con-
scientious business man and a model
husband. At Brussels, where he passed
four days every week, he was a reckless
fnancier, bold speculator, a bon vi
want, and a "fast man. Thus the
notary lived from 1868 to 1874, when he
turned his eyes toward Paris. There
was a notary's Office for sale at Courbe-
vote, a suburb outside the capital. He
purchased the business and settled
there. To inspire confidence he COM
bined luxury with piety. he had
splendidly furnished house, and kept
open table; but he was very strict about
fasting and praying, and had an altar
with burning tapers fitted up in his bed
room. The good people were easily
taken in, and deposited their money and
securities with him to the extent of sew

makes an honest and earnest effort to
merit its continued support. Hence q
