T ~CARELESSNESS.

It Causes . Child's Death and Sends q Serv-
ant to Prison For Three Months.
A very sad tragedy came before the
Paris police courts the other day when
Marie Marterez, a domestic servant, was
tried for the homicide, through careless
ness, of Blanche, the infant child of Mrs.
Blanche Treville, an American actress,
known on the stage as Miss Irving.
Last summer Mrs. Treville was living
at 81 Avenue d'Antin. Her daughter,
who was only 4 years old, was being ed
ucated at convent in the neighborhood
of Paris. When the holidays commenced,
the child came to live with her mother
in Paris. On Aug. 90 Mrs. Treville had
to go out in the afternoon. She confded
the child to the care of Marie Marterez,
who promised not to lose sight of her.
She, however, shut the child up in her
own room, locked her in and took the
key ava with her. When Marie Mar
terez returned, she found her room full
Of smoke. The child was lying ON the
floor unconscious, with its clothes burned
to cinders. There had been a box of wax
matches in one of the drawers in the
room. The child, to amuse herself, had
begun striking matches and had set fire
to her frock. The poor child's cries were
unheard. There were ON the door the
marks made by her delicate little nails
in her desperation and fear.
Ali that could be done to save the child
was done, but it was too late. The child
died the same night.
In her despair Mrs. Treville accused
the servant of murder, saying that Marie
Marterez detested the child and had pur-
posely shut her up alone with matches,
with which Blanche had always liked to
play. But the judicial authorities made
inquiries and learned that Marie Marie.
rez was as q rule very attentive to the
child and took good care Of 1t. The
charge of murder was consequently
changed to that Of homicide throughcar are
lessness. Mrs. Treville herself appeared
in court to give evidence, and renewed
her accusation that the servant had
wanted to bring about the child's death
~ am sure Of it," she said. weeping
''She detested baby"
But the court took q different view o.
the case and sentenced Marie Martere,
to three months imprisonment.-Paril
