lock would not work, and we went out to buy cords
to do it up.
Then we put the corpse in the trunk and started
for Montmorency.
"A little while later I wrote this letter letter by

necessary to make people believe that Bessarabo

Who whispered to her that lie? Who told her
to make up that story which sent feeling of stupor
through the court when it was heard--the story Of
how she had been locked in her room, of how she
had listened at the door and had heard suspicious
sounds?

trunk off to Nancy station
A telegram to the police of that town at once
caused my husbands death to be revealed. body

me of the crime was for the police but one step.
When they came to arrest me cried out my inno-
cence but it was useless. Both my daughter and
myself were sent to St. Lazare prison. and kept there
among the lowest of the low.
Then, tortured by Judge Bonin who refused to
believe me, and knowing that my daughter

Then came the tragedy of the trial and that last
awful scene when my daughter my little Paulette,
failed in her strength and courage, and, terrified and
driven to desperation by the threats of the prosecu

version of the alleged crime and saved herself
and caused me to be condemned.
