THE RAILWAY 31UR`,ER IN FRANCE.  The investigation into this extraordinary event shows that some of the details at first in given were not quite exact. It was stated that in the compartment of the railway carriage which the crime was committed were found a snuff-box in wood of the commonest kind, and a neck-wrapper, and that there was reason to believe that they had been left by the murderer. But the snuff box turns out to have belonged to the deceased, who having some time back lost a very valuable gold one, often carried this other about with him, and always when travelling. It is considered probable that the wrapper was his also. Thus what was considered one clue to the discovery of the criminal has disappeared. It turns out, moreover, that it was not near the station of Noisy-le-Sec that the murderer jumped from the carriage, but near that of Nogent-sur-Marne, which is farther from Paris. It is considered singular that he should have selected such a spot, since close to the station is a long viaduct, then a bridge, then a lofty embankment ; but his foot marks appeared clearly on the side of the line and down the embankment; in the field, however, which is next to the latter, the trace is lost. The supposition is that the man went towards a Tillage called Chelles, and that he there took the railway either to come up to Paris or to go down the line to wards Strasbourg. A strange circumstance has to be mentioned : In the compartment in which the crime was perpetrated fragments of pasteboard were picked up, and on being put' together it was found that they formed the ticket which M. Poinsot had taken at Troyes. The assassin, of course, must have torn up the ticket ; what his object in doing so was, is a mystery, and it is still stranger that he did not throw thelpieces out of the window. The Echo de l'Est of Bar-le-Duc says :—" A description of the person of the presumed assassin of M. Poinsot having been sent off in different directions, a gendarme on Friday arrested, at the railway station of this town, an individual to whom it exactly applied, but after an investigation he was set at liberty." M. Poinsot commenced life as a simple clerk to an avoue at Barsur-Aube. He afterwards became advocate, and pleaded before the Civil Tribunal of Troyes. Among his clients at that place were the family of M. Casimir Perier. M. Poinsot was 30 years in the magistracy. After having been Procureur du Roi at Troyes, he was appointed, in 1833, substitute at the Civil Tribunal of the Seine. He was afterwards named substitute of the Procureur-General of Paris, and, on the 14th April, 1847, was nominated Advocate-General of the same court. He was dismissed on the 29th Feb., 1848 (after the Revolution), but on 2d May of that year was appointed a judge of the Court of Appeal of Paris. On 6th April, 1857, t,e was named President of one of the Chambers of the imperial Court.
