Two shocking cases of miscarriage
of justice are renorted, one from
France and the other from Germany.
In France woman has just been re-
leased after sixteen years imprison-
ment on the discovery that she is en-
tireiy innocent of the death of her
hush and of her brother-in- law,
with the responsibility for which she
had been charged; while in Germany
q cashier of the ministry of finance,
who was in the peniten tiary for hav-
ing embezzled sum of 5000 marks,
has been liberated after twelve years
incarceration on it being brought to
light that there had been no money

anew had been due to mistake on
the D ,rt of the auditors In neither
case will the victim have any redress,
As the la v does not provide for any
