On being brought back, Pauline pre-
tended to be sorry and. laid the blame
for her escapade entirely to her lover,
who, she said, had over-persuaded her.
NJ. Taupin, who was only too anxious
to be reconciled, received the fair peni-
tent back to his arms and they retired
for the night. Neither was seen alive
again.
The following morning the servants,
surprised at hearing no NOV meat in
the apartment of their master and mis-
tress. at last became alarmed and forced
open the door. The room was filled
with the fumes of charcoal. NJ. Taupin
laid lifeless on the bed, while Pauline
had fallen in her tracks as she was
cropping for the door.
On investigation the police discov-
cred that NJ. Taupin had retired first,
and, when the servant left the room,
had fallen asleep. 1t is probable that
Pauline then made her preparations to
ensure his death. She had made the
windows and doors air-tight and then
lit a charcoal brazier, evidently intend

Death of VI. olivier.

The diabolism of French crime has
often been commented on by the Amer
lean press. In no country in the world
is crime, as a general rnle, carried out
with such a diligency and design as
characterizes the misdeeds of the Grim
inals of that country. This is particu-
larly true of French murderers Few
murders are committed on the impulse
of the moment in France. AS general
rule, they are the result of mature de-
liberation on the part of the murderer.

lions. as consequence, do not always
follow, and as time progresses the muir

murder has been reduced to an art by
the strangers of Paris. 1t is known as
such among them. They can tell which
of their number has been guilty OF a
crime as soon as the details are described
in newspaper just as well as other
people can read the name of an artist by
examining his painting.
1t Is only by the agency of miracle
that such murderers are brought to jus
tee, as in the case of Eyraud and his
frail companion in crime.

She and her cousin trailed Pagan and

days in the mountains of the Cherokee

Kinsley's hiding place was soon found,

characters are NJ. Taupin, Mayor of
the village; Pauline Chanlomean,
his wife and Jean Vanel, former
lover of the trusted wife. They kept
up iason after the marriage of Paul
inc to NJ. Taupin, which event occurred
last July. Taupin was not without
suspicion, for on the wedding night an
incident occurred to dispel the illusion
that had captured him.
While the festivities were at their
height Pauline disappeared from among
the dancers and had been gone some
time before her husband missed her.
Wondering where she could have gone,
he finally discovered her in retired
corner of the grounds talking with a
handsome sailor-lille looking Lad, whom
M. Taupin knew. He took Pauline
who represented the meeting as aeci
dental, back to the guests and tried Z
forget the disagreeable incident.
All was thus seemingly prosper ous
when one day a peddler brought hi

toobtain an unsupported interview wit

Their son Paul grew up wild and
reckless youth, patron of the fast set

AMONG THE COURTS.
Little Legal Incidents Gathered Up
YESTERDAY.

In department. one yesterday, G. j..
Fox, the court reporter, was ordered to
transcribe the testimony OF E. T..
Wright, Hervey Lindley, w. Sheldon,
G. North, Il. l.. Horton, HI. Avery, w.
Bosbyshell and j. M. Damron, in the
recent trial of j. M. Damron.
The district attorney yesterday filed
information against Louis Palmo for an
assault with deadly weapon, and M.
Urquidas for burglary. Both Palmo and
Urquidas are to plead on January 18th.
George Martin, charged with the en-
bezzlement of $4,000 from the California
Southern railway, entered plea of not
guilty in department one, yesterday.
The case was transferred to department
six for trial.
p. Estrada was sentenced to one year
in San Quentin by Judge Smith. Es-
trada pleaded guilty to burglary in the
second degree.
Il w. II. Harney appeared in depart
ment one and entered plea of not
guilty. His case was transferred to de-
partment six. pw
Mike Ryan, who is charged with petit
larceny, it being his second ofense,
was reported by tho jailer to be danger
ously i'll with typhoid fever. Ryan was
ordered to be sent to the county hos
pital, and the case was continued. 1t is
thought that Ryan will rot recover.
Rather peculiar case came up yes
terday before Judge Van Dyke. Tang
sued Hook for $500, and got judgment
by default. Both parties are Cinnamon.
Hook borrowed $500 of Tang, at per
cent. per month, and the indebtedness
soon run up to $500 at the rate of inter
est charged.

introduced the new president, Scipio
Craig, who in turn addressed the associ-
alton.
On motion Of Mr.. Baker the association
expressed its appreciation OF the man
ner in which Col. Ayers had presided
over it, and rendered him its heart
-iest thanks ior his Kindness and court
esy.
The programme for today was then
announced 1t will consist OF an excur-
sion to Redondo Beach, the train for
which place will leave the Jefferson
street depot at 10 rs; lunch at the no.
tel; returning to town about 4:30
O'Clock.
On motion of Col. Ayers vote of
thanks was rendered to Mr.. Schneider, of
the Nadeau hotel, for the use OF the par
lOr.
DR.. Booth asked leave to bring up a
matter of interest to all the members.
He suggested that the July meeting be
held in Flagstaff Arizona, whence the
association could make a tour of the
homes OF the cliff dwellers, and thence
to the Grand Canon of the Colorado, a
trip which he considered we'll worth
taking.
Mr.. Craig said that he was partly to
blame for there not being any invitation
before the executive committee at
this time, as he had undertaken to
provide a meeting place for the
association in the southern part of the
district, where it had never yet met, and
had secured the promise OF the commit
tee to notify him when meeting would
be held. He had received warm invi-
tation from the people OF Fresno,
through Mr.. Ferguson, to meet there,
but not having received any notification
from the committee he had kept it in
his pocket.
