AN IXTKIIKSTIXG ACCOUNT OK TDK IMl'OliTANCi: ATTACH hi) TO IT IX MUltDK.: Tit TAL . The murder of Madame Pauw in France, about ten years ago, shows how a conspicuous and'powerful mo tive, in the absence of other cone u sive evidence, sometimes puts justice successfully upon the track of the crir.iiiial. Madame Pauw was a widow with three children, who had an inti iiiale friend 'l.i i he (*ot:iil. iic'la PbnY tneivits. This titled p( rsbnago was in need of money, and ho had a head for schvaiiing. lie planned a Iraiid upon tight insurance cbmpniiio-', an 1 pyr .-in.ded the pour widow t<? become his ihstrumoii in it. Her life was to bo insured; she was then to feign danger bus illness; ami, while ly illy apparently in a serious strait, the insurance companies were to be persuaded to change tbi' lite-policies into annuities. The count advanced the .premiums; the policies were, made out, transfer able by indorsement. .Madame Pauw was then induced to indorse them to him, and his > to make a will out in his favor. The next thing was for ihe w'ulow to pretend to fall ill, which she did; but, instead of the policies being transformed into annuities, the poor lady died ! It was a grave blunder j of the count to tell the doctor, when be cavic in, that .Madame Piiuu bad fallen down stairs; for not only was this denied by abundant testimony, but the post niorttm exam inal ion be trayed ihn presence of poison its the cause of her death. At oncO there after the Count de la Ponitnerais came into the possession of the half million trancs which accrued tin lor the policies and the will. Here oc curred a singular incident i:i the trial. It is clear that, if the count had in tended the fraud in earliest when lie proposed it to Ma/lame Pauw, and really designed to obtain for her at. annuity by its means, thus securing to himself a life income, he could have hud no serious motive for kil ing her. And this was actually his defense against llic charge of murder. Ho de clared, and tiled to prove, that be really incut to carry out the fraud, and that Madame i'auw's death was - | catastrophe and and accident. in trying to clear himself of the giave crime, he coolly confessed the lesser. But the pi oof contradictory of bis case was too clear; he was convicted and duly executed. It has been said that a very impor tant link in the chain of circumstant ial evidence is that of opportunity; To show want of opportunity; that is, an ulibl, is an absolute answer If) the strongest indictments, and produces a fatal Haw in the chain. Opportunity to commit the. crime must he either proved outright or inferred by tbo most conclusive presumption. There never was a more striking ea.se illus trative of this than that ol the young Scottish girl Madeleine Smith, Avhose trial at Glasgow may easily he re membered i y many readers. It may be said that the trial was one of the most 'interesting in British judicial annals. Madeleine Smith had en gaged herself to a yung Frenchman named L'Aiigclier. It was clearly proved that she had tired of him, and was Anxious to disentangle herself from the connection. But L'Angelicr clung to her, and refused to he re buffed. There is no doubt that oil several occasions, just previous to his visits, she had purchased poison; or that, always after these visits, he was seized with severe illness. On the seventeenth of March Madeleine re turned to her bouse in Glasgow, after a brief visit, to some liiomls The next day she purchased some arsenic, "to kill rats with," a -she said The arsenic bought; the next, thiny-he did was to write to L'Angelicr, inviting him tote i on the evening of the nine teenth. lie hupp hud it) be out ol town, and did hot, therefore, gel lite note until it was loo late to accept th invitation. .She wrote again on the twenty-first, urging him to come (lie next evening; and saving: "1 waited and waited for you, but you came not. I .-hall wail nguin to-morrow n ght, same time and arrangement." This iitite L'Angelicr received. So far flic proof was clear. It was also in cvi deuce thai be started from his lodg ings in excellent health on the Sun day evenii gj and that. he. sauntered in the direction of Madeleine's house; this was at nine o'clock. Twenty minutes later, he culled on a friend who lived but a short distance from her residence. Here the evidence tittorjy failed, and left a blank for four lutu r? and a he. If. At two in the moriiing, L'Angclier was found at Iiis ow n door writhing attd sih'cehles.s; and in a few hours he was dead; The autopsy betr.iye.da large quantity ol arsenic in his Jiody. I>ut, between twenty minutes pa-t iiino ami tvo, no'human being could ilejfc?sc to having laid eyes mi him Made cine efsell denied that rhe.-aw him at all tha night;?'nor was the slightest pioof forthcoming' llijtts.be did. She was put on trial tor the murder of L'Angelicr; and although hor desire to get rid id" him?that is, a motive; her purchase of arsenic ? that is, possession of an instrument similar to that which was found f have been fatal; and her miles of invitation?that is, a lac! from whic h a stri.ng probability in a meeting be tween them that night was estab ished ? were fully proved, ihe absence of all proof of actual opportunity tocotn niit. the deed availed t > save the pri soner's life. She sai I, in ellb< t.: '*I was af my house, and can prove it; he was not there, for 1 defy you to prove it; there!ore 1 have an alibi." The Scottish verdict "not proven" set her free, but did iiot clear her of the stain of deep suspicion. The story of the Danish pastor, Son n Qiiist, is one bf the most, iduell ing I y tragic iii judicial records; ami iiiicc timie exemplifies I'aul LYval' chiii plain t 1 ha (justice is Sometimes too quick to seize upon appearances, and neglect the supposition of fabricated evidence. Sbrcii was a clergyman of m iddle age, .settled over a small, pri. milivo parish in Jtttland. I'm and irreproachable in charactcr, genial, generous and devout, be wits cursed with a fiery and ungovernable temper; yet. he was universally revered; atid varied his pasloial cares, as is not iiiifVoqiiotit in Scandinavian countries, by cult.vatihg a modest farm. He had a daughter, gentle and comely. A farmer in a neighboring village, oiio Morten Bruns, well oil' but of bad reputation, sought (bis daughter in marriage, I ut was rejected both by her and by the pastor. Soon after a brother of his, Kiels Bruns, entered the pastor's service as a farm baud. Niels was lazy, impu dent, and quarrelsome, and frequent, altei cat ions occurred bet sveen him and his master. One day Soren found ihn mau idling in the garden. A quarrel ensued wj when ihc pastor, his hot tem per getting the better of him, .struck Niels several limes with a sp:ule say ing: *'I will heat thee, dog;, until thou liebst dead at my feel!" The than llicn jtilnped up and ran oli'inlo the woods, ^aiul was not seen "gain. The rcjcelcd)8uitor Morten, alter his broth er had thus mysteriously disappeared, boldly .'charged the pastor with the crime, fand offered to pioducc eon vincingvproof-- o. the fact. Soron was there! jro'arraigned, when the loll ?w ing evidence was arrayed against him A i u Ulf I testified that, cm the night alter the quarrel, lie .-aw the parson, in hiftarcen dressing gown and white night-cup, digging hard in the garden ll was 'a'so proved thai, search having been made in the garden,a body had hecn unearthed, undoubtedly that pi Niels, "vi/ifh his clothes ami car-rings upon g\C A servant girl testified not only fujjnuviiig heard .So; en repeat tal ly threaten to kill Niels, but to huv ing sceti the parson go out into the gnrdcnftjll the fatal night, in Iiis green dressing gown and night-cap. Still strenge"; evidence was produced, lie had be jn seen, in his green dressing gown a. d night-cup, c;i ryiug a heavy Mick from the wood near by into the ganlcn.'j The chain ofcvidcr.ee was apparently complete against .Suren; ami thJ poor parson now scaled his own i'at&hy declaring that he believed he hiiiLj killed Niels, though uncoil seioush? lie slaluo that he was wont to wnl,!-)n Iiis sleep, lie had found texls, -{rillen sermons and visited bis church jin a stnto of somnambulism. He muH, therefore, have found the man dead in the wood while thus un eunscio^ginud have buried him while in thi-jCondition. To be brief, orcii was fohK? guilty and executed.
