Lebfez--No, sir.
President-po not try to make us believe

President-So you 60 through Paris on footssa
you have time to reflect; you walk for am
hour-no remorsel You arrive at Lebiezs;
you are In such perfect accord you can ex-
plain yourselves in covert sentences, 50 that
Lebiez' mistress, who Is In bed In the Same
room, cannot understand your words. Lebez
says: us it q serious matter?-for you have
made me run often enough for nothing
And you answer Yes yes it is serious
Paris. You can look each other In the face
without saying, eve are too wretches. Let
us STOP No. You talk over what you will
do, once the crime Is committed; you say
to each other: "If the trunk should be too
small Then IL must be
CUT IN PIECES.
Lebiez-I did not know at that time would
President-You declared 1t to the judges of
instruction. You, Barre; you take the precau-
ton to go out of your way to tell your vic
tim to come, bring you the milk. You do not
meet her. You ought to have considered that
happy chance. You ought to have recoiled,
to ha7o s,tittt IL yourself, q he ffalr reet
Let us not commit the crime.' No! Not
shadow of remorse. You persisted In seeking
her
Barrel simply waited for her.
President--It IS the same thing. Once at
home you prepared the trunk. Lebiez tied
the table to avoid any noise the victim might
make should She in falling, oyerturn it,
Lebiez-1t was Barre who tied the table; |
only put the vase under It,
President-It is true: Then you posed your
self; you, Barre, at the farther end Of the
room, you, Lebiez, behind the door, and you
stayed there half an hour. All, you both have
knowledge, but neither of you have moral
sense; see to what you have falleni
The president here showed photographs Of
tho premises where the crime was committed,
explained the arrangement Of the furniture
and the positions occupied by the actors In
the drama, then proceeded.
President-The woman wished to ring, but
the bell would not sound. You had disarranged
the bell in order to avoid any noise that
might compromise you.
Barre-NO sir.
President enters She says: The bell
doesn't sound" Then perceiving that instead
Of Barre she sees you, Lebez. She says
to you, Pardon. sir" You let her advance,
and Barre is at the door Of the dining room.
He says to her, with u smiling air. "Come in,
madam"
Barre-Lebiez said that
President-She continues to advance She
pours out the milk. She is
STRUCK NOT ON THE TEMPLE,
for the hand is not always steady but on the
forehead, She is not killed instantly, for she
says, Pardon, pardon, Monsieur Barre
Barrett is Lebiez who pretended that. /
did not intend killing her
President struck her She fell. You
threw yourself on her, seized her hands, work
ing convulsively, shut her mouth, and pressed
your knees on her stomach.
Barre-No 1t was Lebiez.
President That Is an impossibility. During
that time Lebiez strikes her with the hammer,
then he seizes q scraper freshly sDarpened
and he strikes with so much precision that he
pierces the ventricle of the heart. For that,
Lebiez must have retained ali his coolness,
his faculties as q medical student. This wo-
man no longer struggles cOnvulsively. She is
dead. But the blood has spurted forth. You
both wash your faces and hands. The trou-
sers Of LebeZ were covered with blood. He
gets pair Of black trousers from Barre.
Barre changed his vest and his shirt then
you both go to the cafe coffee -hOuse) Yes;
you went to the cafe after that murder!
Lebiez-NO, sir. Not Immediately.
Barrett vas after the theft we went to
the cafe.
AFTER THE CRIME.
President-Yes, you commenced by posses
sing yourselves of the poor woman's key,
hung at her belt, and you went to the cafe to
Barre Not at all; it was after the robbery
we went to the cafe.
President t-Lebez, you said to the Judge of
instruction that you knew when the death of
the Femme Gilet took place You said II
longer beat, and with your medical knowl-
edge you could not deceive yourself You did
not want to cut her because you said warm
corpse allows the blood to escape. "We must
that time you went to spend in a cafe.
Lebiez-l was only in the cafe after 3 o'clock.
President-One Of you stayed at the cafe to
refresh himself. 1t was you Leblez, and the
other went to commit the robbery at the
Femme Gillet's; it was you, Barre. Your
appointed rendezvous was Place du Chatelet.
While awaiting the hour to go to Place Chate-
let, Lebiez, what did you do with
THE CORPSE?
Lebiez-I tried to put it in the trunk
President-YOu went to Barres and took o
razor from place he had indicated to you.
Lebiez-No. I did not know it was neces-
gary to cut the corpse till had told Barre it
would not go in the trunk,
President-You disiointed the head, the arms
and the legs, and you laid aside the thighs
and the arms Why was part Of the corpse
put in the stove?
Lebiez-It was evening. | wanted to hide
it there for the night in case of an unlocked
for alarm.
The President then questioned Barre on the
steps taken by him and his accomplice to sell
the stolen goods. Then was discussed the
comings and goings of the murderers, so as
to cause the corpse to disappear
President Ito Barrel In the evening you
rented Il lodging in Rue Poliveau.
Barre-Lebiez told me to rent 1t near the
Bievre, SO that we could throw the remains In
the river.
Lebiez- Barre already had some business
In Rue Poliveau.
President think the thought originated
with Lebiez. La Bievre runs close to the
hospitals. He would have said to himself, If
a limb is discovered in La Bievre, it will be
an anatomical piece thrown there
by student. Let us proceed The president
here recalled that fact that Lebiez sent two
to Barre to take away the trunk
the corpse. The first Of these was
by Barre, because the blood trickted
from the trunk The second did not know
what direction to take in order to get to
Barre's apartments.
The President Ito Barre)-You took $50
