changes into black can be observed
quite easily with approximate GER

A French Verdict.

All juries have a way of tempering
justice with mercy and strict logic
with good or bad sense. French juries
excel In these practices. A Nine ca
naby of Bordeaux was accused OF hav-
Ing forged two prescriptions and OF
having thereby obtained large quaint
ties of poison, some OF which abe ad-
ministered to her husband, who pearly
died and was only saved By his doctor,
who suspected something wrong and
took him away. The evidence was
overwhelming, for the prisoner com
pletely failed to give any plausible ex-
PLANTATION as to why she wanted the
polsop-eD enough, as tho chemist said, 10
kin two regiments. Nevertheless the
jury found Nine Oanaby guilty Of
forging the prescriptions but not guilty
of attempting to poison her husband
Perhaps the jury thought the husband
Imprisoned was punishment enough in
himself for one crime.
