may get Indiana. but PENNSYLVANIA

MISTAKEN IDENTITY.
The Famous Case of Lesurques of
the Lyons Mail.


The most famous of all cases of mis-
taken identity is that OF LeSurques.
charged with the robbery and murder
Of the courier Of the Lyons mail which
has been so wildly brought home to us
through the dramatic play based upon
II. LesurQues was positively Identified
as a man who had Travelled by the mail
coach. and he was in due course con
yicted. Yet at the eleventh hour q
woman came into court and declared
his innocence, swearing that the wit
nesses had mistaken him for another.
Duboscq, whom he greatly rcSemblcd.
She was the confdant Of one of the
gang who had planned and carried out
the robbery But her testimony, al
though corroborated hy other confed-
crates, was rejected, and Lesurqnes re-
celyed sentence Of death, Lcsurques
died protesting his innocence to the
last. Four years elapsed before Du-
boscq was captured. In the interval
others Of the gang had passed through
the hands of the police, but the prime
mover was only now taken. Even
then he twice escaped from prison.
When finally he was put OH his trial
and the Judge ordered a fair wig such
as Lesurques had worn. to be placed
on his head, the strange likeness was
Immediately apparent. He denied his
guilt. but was convicted and guillo-
tined Thus two men suffered for one
offense.
