subsequently after she had made a

vices she was strangled.
France, too, had her prisoners,
and one of them, the Marquise de
/ BrinvillieTs, was perhaps the most
/ Infamous in history. Although mar
ried she had a lover, Jean Baptiste
! de Gaudin, Seigneur Sainte-Croix,
who had been a prisoner in the bas-
tile and who had there learned from
an Italian the secrets of the poisons
which La Spara and Tofana had
used. He communicated the secrets
( to Nine. de Brinvilliers and launch
ed her on her shocking career of
crime.
At first she tried the poison on
dogs and rabbits, but wishing fur
Their tests she experimental on the
sick poor in hospitals The march
ioness affected "piety," and spent
much of her time visiting hospitals
and attending the sick. This gave
her full opportunity for her poison
tests, and after thoroughly satisfying
herself as to the strength Of the
doses to be given, in order to pro-
duce results within specified times.
she poisoned her father and in sue
cession her brothers and sisters.
Sainte-CrOiX, who expected to profit
financially when the marchioness
would come into full possession of
her fathers property, abetted her
in her crimes; but when she tried
to poison her husband in order to
marry Sainte-Croix the latter secret
ly opposed her. He was willing to
share in the wealth which came to
the marchioness by her crimes. hit
was averse to marrying her; and so
when Nine. Brinvilliers administer

CroiX cOunteracted its effect by anti
dote. This game of purposes
was brought to a sudden end in 1872
when the glass mask which Sainte-
Croix wore while preparing poisons
in his laboratory fell off and he was
suffOcated. Among his effects were
found papers discriminating the
IS and her servant. La
Chaussee, in the recent murders.
The marchioness fled to England and
Chaussee, after having made a full
confession, was executed.

Tiers secretly returned to France,
The authorities learned of her pres
ence at Liege and when a warrant
was issued for her arrest she took
refuge in a convent. She was craft
lily decoyed from this retreat by an
officer of justice disguised as an able
and taken to Paris, where she made
a full confession Of the murders
committed in her own family and of
many others and was beheaded in
July 1876.
The crimes OF the marchioness
gave an impetus to this species of
murder in France, and before the
epidemic of numbering had ceased
at least 100 persons had been mt
to death by drugs. A special tribu-
nal, the chambre ardente, or fiery
chamber, was instituted by King
Louis XIV to investigate the MANY
reports of poisoning cases circulated
and many persons of high rank were
summoned before this inquisitorial
body. Only one person, however
was executed as a result of the in
Vestigation. But wholesale poison
ing in France came to an end.

OLD GRAVE FOUND IN SUMTER
Revolutionary Soldier Buried Near
Plains. Daughters of RevoIu-
ton viii Erect Stone.

uOn VIII Erect Stone.
AMERICUS.-The grave of a rev.
olutionary soldier has been found
in Sumter county, and will hereafter
be cared for by Council of Safety
Chapter, D. A. R., of Americus.
Logan E. Douglass was the SOL
der who fought against the British
in the memorable years of the revo-
lutionary struggle, and who finally
found his last resting place in this
county. His grave has been located
on the farm of his descendant, John
Feagin, to the south of Plains. 1t
lies in a grove near the old home
place. For probably three-quarters
of a century it has remained I'M
marked. This neglect will be rem
edied as soon as possible, and on
the stone that will mark the grave
will be told the simple story of the
patriotism of the man whose memo
ry it commentaries.
Douglass owned the farm where
he now lies buried. He probably
came into this section in the early
years Of the last century, when the
Indians and the wild animals still
remained, and became one of the
advance guard of white civilization
that redeemed the country from a
wilderness. Many descendants may
revere his memory, but of them but
few are at this time known, among
them being Messrs. John and Doug
lass Feagin, formerly of Americas.
but now of Macon, and DR.. Doug
lass Mayes of Americas.
One of the sacred duties assumed
by the Daughters of the Revolution
is that of seeing that the graves of
revolutionary soldiers are marked
and properly kept up. Congress, it
is understood, has provided an ap-
preparation for a stone for each of
such graves. The Washington au
thoTities will be communicated with
for the purpose of securing such a
monument for the DOUGLASS grave.
The chapter here will then arrange
for placing it over the grave, with
appropriate ceremonies, and will
see that the grave is decorated ey-
cry year.
