The recent trial in Marseilles, France, of Jules Ducraix for an alleged assault -on his wife, Marie, led to the discovery of the real perpetrators of a great \ -crime committed 25 years before and to the exoneration of an innocent man. The story of the trial, as told in a French newspaper, is dramatic. Ducraix dealt In ship's stores and was supposed to be in good circum ?tances. In his defense he swore that his wife assaulted him with a knife, and he showed the unhealed wound on his left arm, made by the weapon when he endeavored to ward off what might have otherwise beeu a deadly blow. At this juncture in the trial a note was handed to the defendant's counsel. With permission of the court, he read the note, and asked to be ex cused for a minute or two. He fol lowed to the corridor the man who had handed him the note and speedily re turned. A* his request the woman was recalled and questioned by him as follows: "Where were you born, madame?" "In Paris, I believe." "Were, you ever in Poitou?" "Never!" "Were you ever in Brittany?" "Never!" "Did you ever know or see a man , earned Jacques Saupier?' "I never did!" "Were you never married to a man of that name?' "Never!" "You swear that you were never mar ried to one Jacques Saupier and never saw or knew him?" "I do so swear." Counsel turned and, glancing round the audience that filled the courtroom, he cried: "Jacques Saupier!" Amid deep silence and with all eyes, fixed upon him, a man was seen mov ing forward from the outskirts of the crowd. He was tall, dark, clean shaven, with a sloping forehead and a receding chin. '"This way, Jacques Saupier!" coun sel said, and the stranger moved slow ly forward, with his eyes fixed upon tie woman. Within three or four feet of her he stood and looked at her with a steady, unflinching gaze. She crouch ed and turned away her head. Then counsel questioned her. "Do you know this man?" "Yes, yes; I do." "Is this Jacques Saupier?" "Oh, yes, I believe so." "Is he your lawful husband?" "Yes, yes! Oh, let me go!" "What oas become of your para mour, Lacrase?" "He is in prison for life-dead to me, -dead!" "What has this to do with the case?", the court asked. "This woman is a criminal," answer ed the counsel, "and I ask you to de tain her on a charge of a double mur der, committed 25 years ago." The complaint against Ducraix was dismissed, and the woman was handed over to the police. The narrative which follows is gathered from a report of the proceedings already mentioned. Marie Rozan was the associate of a thief, sometimes called Crascras, but whose real name was Lacrase. Early In May, 1873, Lacrase and one Pascot planned a robbery at Lemans, province of Maine, where Pascot had once been employed as a coachman. Marie ac companied them. Pascot was arrested and Lacrase fled and abandoned Marie, to her fate. She managed to escape from the neighborhood and wandered on, suffering from want and exposure, until she reached Morlaix in Brittany. She continued on up one of the valleys until she came upon a comfortable homestead, where lived Henri Saupier j with his wife and only son. M. Saupier ? owned some 20 acres of land adjoining j his home and was in good circum- ; stances, being considered, ia fact, the j wealthy man in the district. The son, ; Jacques, was not particularly bright and had earned a bad reputation iu the neighborhood, having twice stolen money from his parents and goue off I with it. He was never fond of work, j the truth of the macter being that he j had been spoiled in the briuging up. i Just before dusk on the evening of May 30, 1S73, Saupier sat in the garden smoking. Looking up, he saw a miser ably :Iad woman, standing with her I hand on the gate and her eyes directed i toward him. "Wife,'" said Saupier, calling to Mme. Saupier, who was in the house, "seo what this poor woman wants." Apparently encouraged by the kindly tones of the old man. Marie-for it was she-opened the wicket and entered the , garden. To husband and wife she told her story, saying that her name was Marie Rozan, and tolling how her fa ther, a fisherman, was drowned, and how her brother was in the navy a great way off, and how she had no friends or relatives, and, being unable to get work, was penniless ano ??iii ing. Mme. Saupier took the young tra in. gave her the means to wash 1 self, provided her with decent clot and treated her with the utmost ki ness. The wretched outcast was s< transformed into a rosy faced, ha some, cheerful young woman. ? won her way into the hearts of the people by her handiness and diligeu and it was soon understood that ? was to stay and receive wages as domestic. Jacques began before lc to cast his eyes on Marie, and, as ? was well behaved and industrious, parents offered no objections. In S tember of t?e same year, Jacques a Marie were married and continued live at the homestead. Within a month of the wedding. S rie showed her husband a letter, whl she said was from her brother, ? nouncing his arrival at Cherbourg. "Oh, how I should like to see hin she exclaimed. "It is years since last saw him." "Ask him to pay us a visit," the hi band said, and so in a short time dark skinned, fairly good looki young man arrived, whom Marie int duced as her brother, Louis Rozt Marie embraced him affectionate] and for a week or more they were cc stantly together, Mme. Saupier relit lng her daughter-in-law from much the household work to enable her stroll around with her brother. At t end of ten days Louis left, saying th he must return to his ship. On Dec. Marie received a letter from him, sa ing that his ship was ordered on a loi cruise and that he intended to visit h once more before he sailed. On De 15, Jacques informed his wife that man in sailor garb had met him ai told bim that Louis had met with ? accident and was detained at Moria and wanted his sister to come ai nurse him. Marie said that she wi not well enough to undertake the tas and urged her husband to go and c what he could to help her brother. E readily consented and started for tl train at Morlaix the same evening. The next morning. Dec. 1G, some 1; borers passing the Saupier homestea were surprised to find the place close and no one about, as usual. Lookin around, they saw the hand of a woma waving at an open window. The me entered the garden and found the froi door open. They went in and hear groans proceeding from a room u stairs. Ascending, they entered tb apartment from which the groans pr< ceeded and found Marie lying on a be close to the window. She was gagge( and her feet and left arm were boun ito the bed: The right arm she had ai parently got partially at liberty. Th men released her, and she exclaimed: "They've murdered M. Saupier an his wifer Then she went off in a faint. Th laborers found in an adjoining roo.r. Saupier and his wife lying on the bec ruthlessly hacked to pieces, the a: which had done the foul deed lying oi the floor. While they were gazing oi the dreadful scene Marie entered am in a frenzied manner asked: "Have they murdered my brothe too?" ' Marie accompanied the men whil< they searched around. The strong bo: In which the old man kept a consider able sum of money was open, the kej being in the lock. Everything of valu< was goae. While the search was goinj on a knocking was heard, proceeding, ai it was found, from the stable. "Oh, that must be my brother!" Ma rie said. "The murderers must have locked hiin in the stable." The stable was found locked, but Ma rie discovered the key lying on the ground a few feet away. The dooi was opened, and a young man appear ed, whom Marie embraced with mud effusion, saying: "Oh, my dear brother, I was afraid they had killed you too!" "I heard you scream," he said, "and ran up stairs. I was sleeping on the couch in the kitchen, you know. When I reached your room, ? saw two men gagging you, and one of them with a pistol in his hand seized me, forced me down stairs and into the stable and locked me ia." "Yes," Marie said, "I was awakened by a noise in the bedroom occupied by M. Saupier and his wife, and as I was in the act of getting up to see what was the matter two men entered and seized, gagged and bound me. I recog nized one of the men as my husband by his voice. I heard him say: " Tve settled the old folks, and that's all I care for.' " Tm sure it was Jacques,' Louis added, 'for in the struggle I tore off the tail of his coat, and here it ls.' " The story told by Jacques Saupier on the trial of Marie presented a very different condition of things. Jacques swore that when be got about half way to Morlaix, which took him some time, as the night was stormy and the roads were bad, he found that he had lost through a hole in his pocket all the money he started with, except a few sous. This fact and the increasing se verity, of the storm induced him to turn back, and it must have been ll o'clock when he reached the home stead. To his surprise, he found the door open and a light in the kitchen. As he stood wondering, he saw Louis and Marie coming down the stairs and he slipped into the pantry that opened into the kitchen, which they entered. Louis carried Mr. Saupier's japanned money box and a leathern bag in which Jacques knew his father kept gold of large denominations. Louis said: "The job's done, and we must clear out." They talked together in a low tone, and Marie seemed considerably alarm ed. Louis said: 'Don't you see that when Jacques linds out that your brother isn't there he'll start back home, and there is no chance such a night as this of any one's having identified him. as all the inns in Morlaix will be closed long be fore he gets there?" "Well," said Marie, "but he will say. j 'Where is my wife? She must either j have been murdered, too, or have bad a hand in this?' " '.My God! I never thought of that." ; Louis said. "Anyhow, we must get off i at once and be as far away as possible : by daylight." Louis was in the act of turning his head, when Jacques, to prevent his be ing discovered, closed the pantry door, leaving only the space of tm inch. The door creaked. Louis started, drewra pistol and said in a frightened whis- ? per: r "What was that?" "It came from the pantry," Mario said. "Then here goes for it, whatever it may be," said Louis as he raised his pistol. "For tho good Lord's sake, don't fire," Jacques cried, coming from his hiding place. It was the turn of Louis and Marie to be astonished, but both soon recov ered their composure, for they had been together in as bad a fix before and more than once. "Look here," Louis muttered savage ly, "we want no spies upon us. Say your prayers, for in a minute you'll be a dead man." "Wait and hear me," said Jacques. Then he explained the cause of his un expected return. "Now we have you," Louis said. "You, Jacques Saupier, have murdered your father and mother and robbed them. You pretended you were going to Morlaix to see me, because "a mes senger had brought you word I was 111. That messenger was your accomplice." "My accomplice?" "That's .it exactly-your accomplice in this donble murder. He has escaped. We have got you. After pretending to start for Morlaix, you returned after we-Marie and I-were fast asleep. While you murdered the old man and woman with an ax your accomplice gagged and bound Marie. Then when I was aroused and came up the stairs your accomplice met me with a pistol and drove me into the stable, and you locked me in, removing the key. Then you were about to decamp with the money when I came upon you and shot you-thus!" He raised the pistol. Jacques fell on his knees and entreated Louis to spare him. "On one condition," said Louis. "Clear out, decamp, put yourself out of the way forever; never return to this place, leave France. Go straight to Brest and find one Santeur, at the Red Gantlet, on the quay, near the custom house. Say T am the friend of Crascas, who desires you to put me across.' He Will understand." Louis opened the leather bag and took out several goldpieces and handed them to Jacques. "Here," he said, "this will pay your fare. Never set foot in France again, for if you do you will go to the guillo tine. Remember, you twice robbed your father before and escaped. This time you won't escape, unless you do as I say." Jacques was thunderstruck. As al ready said, he was not over bright, and to him the situation, as described by Louis, was overwhelming. He had robbed his father before. It was well known not only to people around, but to the police also. That would go far to condemn him. Still he hesitated. "See," said Louis, "here is a piece of your coat which I tore off when I was struggling with you." Louis exhibited the rag; this settled the case. Louis took the money and departed. He found his way to Brest, discovered the man he wanted and was landed at Jersey. Thence he was trans ferred to a town on the south coast of England. Later he came to this coun try and then went to Hongkong, where he managed to make money. Thence he sailed to England and afterward made a journey to Sooth Africa, where he increased his fortune. Next he vis ited India, and on his way by the Suez canal back to England, landed at Mar seilles. It was merely a matter of curi osity that led him into the courtroom, where he recognized in the person of Mme. Ducralx his wife Marie. The statement as made by Jacques Saupier was corroborated in every par ticular by Louis Lacruse, released from prison to testify, who gave a full account of the murder of Saupier and his wife just as it happened. As for the messenger, he was a confederate of Louis who used him to get Jacques out of the way. Louis locked himself in the stable and threw the key through a hole in the door. The money was hidden away, and after tho funer al of the old people and the failure o'f the police to trace Jacques, Marie sold alf she could sell, and she and Louis departed, not forgetting to take the money with them. Tl "ir future career is not necessary to the sequel. As the judge on the trial of Marie j said, the plot to murder the old mau j and his wife was at once clumsy and J shallow, and any ordinary detective . ought to have been able to see through j it.

HE STILL USES TOBACCO. Yet His Wife Made a Faitbfnl Effort ito Reform Him. "It will only bo necessary for you to drop about balf a teaspoonful of tho mixture into bis cup of coffee each morning," tho circular said, "and the taste for tobacco will gradually depart from him. He may not cease tho uso of tobacco immediately, but within a week he will begin to abhor tobacco if the mixture is given to him faithfully every morning." And so the young wife sent her little $2 on and got a flagon of the tobacco cure. "Pretty bum coffee this morning," he remarked dryly the first time she drop ped the half teaspoonful of the mixture into his cup. "It's the same as we've been using right along," she replied craftily. Nov,-, lo and behold, he was a pretty smooth proposition himself, and he had, unbeknownst to her, seen the package holding the flagon of agin to bacco mixture when it was delivered. So after dinner that evening be pro duced a large, bulky package of fine cut from his pocket and took there from a plenteous chew of tobacco. It was the first chew he had ever taken in her presence, and she marveled greatly thereat, but she determined io persist with the "treatment" "Dead rank chicory again this morn ing, isn't it?" he inquired at breakfast the next morning. "I'm sure it tastes the same to me," she replied. That evening after dinner he produc ed a short, black clay pipe and a pack age of a new kind of tobacco that was as black as the groundwork of a Jolly Roger. "Thought I'd bring this old dudeen up from thc office," he explained cheer ily. "It's as sweet as a nut." Whereupon he filled the house with the aroma of punk that was strong enough to break rock. "This grocery person who gets all of my wages is certainly doing us on the coffee game," he remarked when he tasted his cup the next morning. "Really," she said, gazing innocently at the 10 cent bunch of asters in the middle of the table, "I can't detect any difference." "And yet there are low foreheads who don't believe that all women aren't actresses," said he to himself on the way to his office that morning. That evening he brought home a box of auction stogies, and after he had smoked one of them after dinner all of the people in the neighboring flats stuffed cotton in the hall door keyholes and closed the hall transoms. "I must persist, "though," thought his baffled little wife gloomily. "Coffee tastes like stewed gunny sacks again this morning," he remark ed at the next breakfast She felt a bit sorry for him, but she was determined to use up that flagon of agin tobacco if she ba<J to chloroform him and pour it down his throat. That evening, however, her resolu tion deserted her. After dinner, for the first time to her knowledge, he pulled out a package of cigarettes, lit one and began to smoke lt. I She went up stairs, poured out the remaining portion of her $2 worth of agin tobacco and carefully hid the bot tle. "Coffee's all right this morning," said he at breakfast the next day. "Yes," she inquired absently. When he had finished his dinner that i evening, he lighted one of his usual brand of good cigars. "Men are mysterious to me," she thought, regarding him out of the tail of her eye. "Women only think they're foxy," he thought, blowing heavy smoke rings into the swiss curtains.-Washington Post The Ideal Physician. The attitude of the true physician has been most admirably delineated by the master hand of that fine exemplar of his profession, Dr. Osier, in an ad dress delivered to the students of Al bany Medical college. "Be careful," he said, "when you get into practice to cultivate equally well your hearts and your heads. There is a strong feeling abroad that we doctors an; given now ? adays to science, that we care much I more for the disease and thc scientific ? aspects of it than for tho individual. I don't believe it, but at any rate, wheth ; er there is that tendency or not, 1 i would urge upou you in your practice in the future to care moro particularly for the individual patient than for the special features of the disease. "I am sure all of you must feel, even those of you who have only been a sin gle term in the professional work, that you have entered upou a profession that appeals both to the heart and to the head.

Trappe-1 ?n a Mine With ii Blsiat Fuue Lighted. A inan with an empty sleeve told a curious story in one of the hotel lob bies. "In 1S8?? I -was prospecting in tho Joplin lead district," he said, "and with two partners had sunk a shaft about 30 feet deep ou a promising claim. At the bottom of the excavation we start ed to 'drift'-In other words to drive a tunnel at right angles. One afternoon, when the tunnel had progressed some 12 feet, it became necessary to put in a blast. I was below at the time and my two companions were at the top, working the windlass. I drilled a hole in the formation, which was very hard, put in a dynamite cartridge, tamped it well with broken rock, lit the fuse and stepped into the bucket. At the first turn of the windlass the rope broke at the top and dropped down into th'.; shaft. The bucket fell only a yard or so, but I plunged head first against the side and it was perhaps a couple of minutes before I could collect my genses. Then in a flash I realized my situa tion and jumped back into the tunnel to extinguish the fuse, but it had al ready burned down to the tamping and all I could see was a little smoke ooz ing out through the rocks. I could hear my partners yelling to me from above, *>ut I knew there was no other rope in our camp and the only thing I could think of was to pick out the tamping and get at the fuse before it reached the dynamite. For all I knew the ex plosion might take place at any instant, but I grabbed a drill and began to claw at the tight packed rock. In a few seconds I realized that it was a hope less task, so I dropped the drill and as a last resort ran back to the shaft and crouched against the far wall. "If I live to be a thousand," contin ued the story teller, "I will uever for get my agony while I waited for the blast to go off, knowing full well that my chances for escape were almost too small for computation. It seemed as if the explosion would never occur, and all the while a horrible panorama of death and mutilation was rushing through my brain. 'Now!' 'Now!' 'Now!' I kept saying out loud, think ing each time I uttered the word that the roar would follow, but it didn't. I could have sworn that 15 minutes elapsed and I was beginning to feel a wild hope that the fuse had gone out when an awful thunderclap came and everything disappeared. "My partners had secured a new rope and were pulling me out when I recov ered consciousness. My left arm had been crushed and I was peppered all over by flying rock, but I suffered most from the poisonous gases of the nitro glycerin in the dynamite. Next day they took off my arm at the elbow and it was six months before I got out of bed. Strange to say my hearing wasn't affected and, as you see, I have no scars on my face. So I may consider myself very lucky on more counts than one. "By the way, there was one very strange incident connected with the af fair. As I said before, it seemed to me that I lay there an interminable time, waiting for the blast to go off. After ward, when I was convalescent, I men tioned the matter to one of my part ners and he looked surprised. He told me that he 'was at the shaft mouth when I crouched down and that the explosion occurred immediately after ward. He was intending to drop his coat over me, but didn't have time to take it off."-New Orleans Times-Dem ocrat. Facial Irregularity. "Physiologists tell us, " said a lawyer to the writer recently, "that no two faces are exactly alike, and I think they are correct, although we often hear of one person being the exact image of an other. That this is largely a matter of imagination can be proved by investi gation. I have in my office a clerk who is constantly mistaken for myself. Sev eral people say he resembles me so closely that I must be joking when I deny the relationship. "In order to ascertain how much rea son there was for these statements I took tho fellow to a photographer's one day last week and wc both had our pic tures taken together, and I would defy any ono to point out a single point of resemblance. My clerk, however, re gards the matter as a good joke, and I half suspect he acknowledges relation ship in a good many cases intentional ly, so as to causo complications. I have shown the photograph to several people who have made the mistake, but it has no influence upon them whatever, and it is impossible to convince them against their will. ' '-Washington Star.
