SON. II was Marie Lafarge's strange
behavior when the loss was discover
ed. said Nine de Leautud. which nrst
aroused suspicion on her part against
her. She had promised situation to
a servant who was about to be dis
missed by her under suspicion OF be-
ing concerned with the theft Again.
Marie had once submitted to be mes
merized by Nine de Leautaud's sister.
and had on that occasion simulated
magnetic trance. in which. being ques-
toned, about the missing jewels, she
said they had been removed by a ped
dler who had disposed of them. 9th
er circumstances we're adduced as
pointing to Marie's guilt: for example.
IL Paris, before her marriage. she was
observed to have in her possession a
quantity of loose diamonds which she
stated had been given to her at the
De Leautauds' chateau. Once after her
marriage her husband had asked her
for diamond with which to cut a pane
Of glass. and to his surprise she had
produced a large number OF stones.
saying that she had owned them from
childhood. but that they had only late
ly been handed to her by an old serv-
ant. Marie made other statements
which we're equally at variance. such
as that the diamonds had been sent
to her by an uncle at Toulouse whose
name and address, however. she was
wholly unable to furnish.
When these facts had been brought
out In court, the accused woman con-
fided her secret explanation to her
counsel, and sent him to Nine. de Leau-
taud with a pathetic letter In which
she urged her former friend to per-
NIT her to reveal the truth. The letter
ran as follows:
"Marie-May God never visit upon
you the evil you have done me. |

though weak. You have come to the
conclusion that. because am about

your honor in your own hands, and you
have chosen to allow me to be incul-
pated.

dentally. that her husband had re-
turned unwell. but that she expected
that be would speedily recover his
health again.
Day by day, however. Lafarge grew
worse, and his symptoms were un-
doubtedly those of arsenical poisoning
Nine Lafarge. the mother. began to en-

law. and insisted upon remaining by
her sons bedside constantly. Marie
resented this and demanded that she
should be her husbands sole nurse;
the entire family opposed, her. how.
ever. and compelled her to yield. The
relatives now began to watch her mar.
rowIy. as developed at the trial Many
curious Incidents we're recorded. One
woman deposed that she had seen
Marie go to a cupboard and take from
1t white powder. which she had mixed
into her husbands medicines and food
The mother and sister, furthermore,
showed the doctor a cup Of chicken
broth, upon whose surface a white
powder was floating The doctor said
that it was probably lime from the
wall, whereupon the ladies mixed some
lime with broth. but this did not pre-

ly, It was testified that, when Marie
gave her husband broth to drink in
which the powder had been mixed, he
cried out:

To which Marie replied:

have wine when you are suffering from

mention has been made, and she put
the package in her pocket. at the same
time informing her husband that 1t
was for the purpose of killing the rats
overhead. of which he had been COM
planning. Lafarge took the poison
from her and gave 1t to maid. desir-
ing her to make a paste out Of It.
Meanwhile he continued to grow
worse. and at last new doctor was
summoned from distant town through
the agency of Barber. who. as he
brought him back, confided to him
that he had often purchased arsenic
for Marie, but that she had begged him
to say nothing about 1t. The doctors
suspicious were aroused He pre-
scribed antidotes for arsenical poison
ing and sent some of the mysterious
white powder which the iron-master's
mother had preserved, for examination
to the druggist who had supplied the
arsenic. His examination. however.
did not disclose the presence of this
poison. but he wrote back that nothing
more should be given to Lefarge un-
less prepared by some trustworthy per-
son.
Upon receipt of this communication
the mother denounced the wife to the
now dying man as his murderess. He
heard her and believed Marie made
no protest against the terrible accusa-
ton. but from that moment until her
husbands death she was excluded from
his sight She was not even allowed
to be present at his death, so violently
did the sight Of her excite his antipa-
thy. BY the side of the corpse the de-
nunciations and charges were renewed.

death-chamber. with threats on the one
hand and denials upon the other. and

ing day the police were called in and
a post norton examination was begun.
Marie was arrested upon charge Of
murder.
And now while she was still await
ing trial pending the conclusion OF
the post norton examination, a singu-
lar event occurred which was. perhaps.
largely instrumental in convincing the
jury who tried her that they we're deal
ing with a woman of criminal nature
Mention has been made of Nine. de
Leautaud. the wife of the Viscomte de
Leautaud. who had been a school
friend OF the accused woman. While
Marie Lafarge was still awaiting trial
upon the murder charge, this woman
brought another charge against her
that of a theft of diamonds while she
was visiting her and the viscomte at
Busagny. Just previous to her marriage
with the iron-master. The charge of
theft. under the laws OF France, took
precedence Of the murder charge, and
proceedings were instituted before the
correctional tribunal of Tulle. When
arrsigned Marie at once admitted that
the diamonds were in. her possession.
and indicated the place at Chandler
where they we're to be found. But she
refused for a long while to state how
she came by them. declaring that this
was a secret Of her accuser's, which
she was bound to honor and to keep in.
