fifty feet length droop at the muzzle
about four aud half minutes of are.

The most famous II all cases Of mis-.

incidents OF which were woven into

Lesurques was positively identified
as man who bad Travelled by the mail
coach. and he was In due course con.
victed. Yet at the eleventh hour a
woman came into court and declared
his innocence, swearing that the wit.
nesses had mistaken him for another,
Duboscq, whom be greatly resembled.
She was the confidant of one Of the
gang who had planned aud carried out
the robbery. But her testimony, al.
though eorrOborated by other confed-
crates, was rejected, and Lesurques re-
ceiyed sentence of death. Lesuroues
died protesting his innocence to the
last. -Four years elapsed before Du.
poscq was captured. In the Interval
Others Of the gang bad 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 on his trial
and the Judge ordeEed 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-
