CHAPTER TX.
The Trial.

It was the day Oh the trial. Louis
and Arthur Farades were In the
prisoners pen. Both men were pale
and haggard. In the first-row. amid
the spectators, were CalesSe, Pech-
eret, Smith and Girodet.
They had wanted to bring Nine.
Calesse, but she was very i'll and
refused to come. Smith had only
arrived that morning, but Calesse,
who had been informed by cable of
his coming, had been able to secure
two more seats for his friend and
his attendant.
Throughout the court room the
people were commenting upon the
terrible death of Jacques Velizay
and Paul Merseins, the two men who
had been suspected of being accom-
plices in the murder.
The papers had printed that these
two. who had left the country when
the police were on their tracks, had
had some trouble with the authori-
ties in India, and, ~hile attempting
TO escape from the police, they had
taken refuge in a cholera-hous and
had fallen victims to the terrible
disease and had died the same day.
Yet the two young men lodged
between the groups of people in the
COURTROOM, hiding themselves from
time to time behind the pillars.
They stopped when they found
themselves face to face with M.
Reaulieu. who was present at the
trial cf this murder in which he
had been the investigating Judge.
NJ. Beaulieu uttered cry when
he saw the two men. He was about
20 call an officer TO arrest them when
Jacmes laid hand on his arm and
said quietly:
Come outside. We have some
thing of Importance TO say to you. .
The courtroom was crowded
Several witnesses had been heard
Father Teroigne, his son, and Mil
lette. the excise officer, had given
their testimony.
Nine. Louis Farades was near her
husband. But the two girls were
rot in the court room. They were
nacing up and down the corridor
outside.
Velizay and Merseins had brought
Eadeiah. She had come to the court
house because Jacques had asked
her. Jacques quickly told M. Beau
lien ali that they had discovered in
Calcutta. They placed the accusing
letters and receipts in his hands.
They went back to the courtroom.
Charlevoix county herald., 1914-11-14

Smith, however, seemed loath to
leave; but Girodet, who was white
and trembling with fear of the
dreadful disease, pulled him by the
arm.
Come away" he said; "it is dan
gerous for us to stay so near this
pest house"
Soon they had all disappeared
down the street. The two suit-cases
had been taken possession of by the
police.
Smith and Girodet were allowed
to examine them. They found no
papers, so they knew that the two
men must have them on their per-
sons.
"What does it matter now they
are going to die of cholera? :" SAID
Girodet.
"If they die, yes-that is all right.
But if they don't die. Girodet, we'll
go up again to that pest-house 20
as to make sure"
Girodet protested.
at would be better to catch the
cholera than go to the guillotine,
said Smith.
But all the same it took him some
time to persuade Girodet to go back
to the lazar-house. When they
reached the place the night had
commenced to fall.
The commission agent and his
man sat on the banks of the roa q,
when the door of the pest-house
opened and a man came out and
stuck a sheet of paper on the walls.
C.~,s%I ra,, tn ~ apd raa1.
Died on the lst day of ...., JAG
ques Velizay, French nationality;
Paul Merseins, French nationality.
No money or important papers
found upon them.
Smith almost danced for JOY when
he read this, the relief was so great.
"Sikes," he cried, eff they couldn't
find any papers on them, it is be-
cause they had hidden them in a
secret pocket"
The bell tolltd for the dead. A
little later some attendants came out
and lit large fire on a mound near
the sea. When the fire was at its
height one of the men went back
and fetched bundle of clothes that
Smith and Girodet could recognize
under the light as those worn by the
two Frenchmen.
Everything was thrown onto the
flames and burned. A light breeze
that had come up blew the ashes
toward the sea.
"Ah, now I'm sure that all the
papers are burned" said Smith glee-
fully.
"Come away! Come suick! 1t is
dangerous for us to stay near this
place." implored Girodet!
They hurried back to the city.
eve have nothing to fear now.
said Smith as they neared the dock
$50 We'll take little trip. We need
it after all this excitement"
"A trip! Where?"
"To Paris. Pm going to see our
friend Calesse. What do you say to
that ?"
Girodet seemed not to know what
to say.
"That steamer there is sailing to-
morrow. Well hurry home and get
a few things and then sail on it.
"But why are we going to Paris :"
Smith laughed loudly.
"Fool We are going to the trial
of the murderers Of old Jean Fa-
rades."
Charlevoix county herald., 1914-11-14

The inquiry is again in M. Beau
lieu's hands, but this time it will be
brought to a speedy close. The
gravest charges accumulate against
the four guilty men who, having
formed a formidable bandit gang,
had easily maintained their nefar-
ious operations between London,
Paris and Calcutta.
Jeanne and Valentine are now very
happy. AS soon as the two families
were out of mourning for the old
uncle a double wedding took place.
After the ceremony M. and Nine.
Merseins and Nj. and Nine. Velizay
sailed for India, where they intend
to spend their honeymoon.
