NEW LIGHT ON POISON
French Courts May Reverse De-
cision of 43 Years Ago.
Chemist Convicted Of Numbering Wife
by Administering Arsenic Asks for
Rehearing of Case.

Paris.-Modern scientific research
with regard to arsenical poison may
cause the French courts to reverse a
life sentence passed 43 years ago on
chemist named Danval, who was
found guilty of having murdered his
wife.
Danval, who owing to a press agita-
ton, was released 10 years ago, has
now fled a petition asking for per
mission to bring his case before the
supreme court of appeal. The Dan
val case was one Of the most famous
poison trials In the annals of French
criminal law. In 1877 M. Danval was
prosperous chemist with an estab-
lishment in the Rue Mauberg. Ac-
cused of having poisoned his wife, he
was brought to trial before the Seine
assize court, and on May 10, 1878, con-
demned to deportation for life.
Famous experts appeared both for
the prosecution and the defense, and
the whole OF medical Jurisprudence
concerning the qualities of arsenic, as
they were then known, was argued
before the court for many days. The
government experts found traces of
arsenic in Nine. Danval's body which
would amount to one milligram
(O1549 grain). This, it was argued,
proved that arsenic had been admin
fstered with criminal intent. A toxi-
cologist for the defense, however,
maintained that one milligram was a
perfectly normal amount of arsenic to
find in the human body. 1t was point
ed out that the green curtains sur
rounding Nine. Danval's bed had been
colored with an arsenical dye and con-
tanned an OUNCE Of pure arsenic.
M. Danval was sent to the penal
settlement of New Caledonia. He was
living there, comparatively free, with
his family, when, in 1902, the order
came for his release.
The French government toxicologist
has just issued a new textbook for
at criminal trials in
which it is declared that the presence
of so small quantity as one milli-
gram of arsenic in the human body is
negligible and ought not to be taken
as discriminating evidence in charge
IF murder.
1t is on this new ruling that M.
Danval appeals.
