GOERSENS CRIME.

The crime Of which DIR. Goersen OF
Philadelphia has been convicted was
one Of the most remarkable instances
of heartless depravity that have been
known in that city for a long time,
and it is the more noteworthy from
from the fact that it so nearly escaped
detection. Goersen was, by profession,
. homeopathic doctor, and when ne
determined to get rid of his mother-ln-
law and his wife, in order to enjoy the
little property of the former by him.
self. he administered enough arsenic to
make her i'll, and then, with a sort OF
grim travesty of homeopathic princI-
pies, kept on administering arsenic un-
til she died. A neighboring doctor,
who was called in at the last moment,
very carelcssly gave the required GER
tiicate, and the old lady was buried.
Encouraged by this success Goersen
now turned his attention to his wife
and poisoned her in precisely the same
way, administering arsenic in continu-
GUS doses under the pretence OF giving
her medicine to relieve her suffering.
When the poor woman was nearly
dead, having made will in her hus-
bands favor, the wretch called in the
neighboring doctor, as in the former
case, that he might give the certificate
for burial. The neighboring doctor
does not appear to have penetrated to
the cause of this curious ailment even
at this time, but Goersen's importantly
for the certificate defeated his own end,
and Mrs. Goersen's case came to the
notice of the Coroner. Then followed
q well-conducted inquest, and an ana
lysis of the stomachs of the two women
showing the presence of arsenic, Goer
son was arrested. His trial has been
speedily and ably conducted, and the
admirably clear presentation of the
testimony by Judge Biddle left the
jury no difficulty in finding verdict OF
murder in the first degree. 1t is i'm
possible adequately to characterize the
cold-blooded cruelty displayed by this
man. 1t is the sort of thing one
reads about in novels. but never ex-
poets to hear of in real life. But the
skill with which the crime was un-
earthed and the promptness with
which the criminal has been tried and
convicted afford encouraging evidence
of the power Of the law to render stern
retribution.
