THE REMARKABK.I! MURDER TRIAL IN GLASGOW, SCOTLAND—THE LADY

WHO

Edii:burg.

POISONED HER LOVER—

FURTHER PARTICULARS AND IN.CIBENTS. We have several times alluded to the extraordinary murder trial that is going on in Glasgow, Scotland, of one of the belles of that city, for the murder of her lover by poison. The Burdell tragedy in this country did not excite a deeper interest. The evidence for and against the young lady is thus summed up in the New \crk Tribune which says:

The prisoner is a young woman of Glasgow, very, respectably connected, by name Madeline Smith, about twenty-one years of age, and lately residing with her father, who is-an architect. The chargc against her is that of murder, perpetrated upon one Pierre Emille l'Angelier, a Frenchman, with whom she had carried on a love correspondence of two or three years' standing, and whom she is accused of having poisoned with arsenic.

At the time of his death the deceased, who appeared in the evidence to have been a respectable and worthy young man, was employed as packing clerk in a mercantile house at Glasgow. It appears, from the testimony of his landlady and of the physician that attended him, that about the 12th ol February, again on the 2'2d, on coining home at night, he had severe attacks of 1 vomiting and purging, supposed at the time to be billions attacks, but which presented all the svmptomt to be expccted from an irritant poison.V-IIe wa^ kept at home by this last attack tfil the lit of March, when he reappeared at the warehouse but get1 ting worse again on the 9th, he obtained 1 leave of absence aud made a journey to

He returned to.Glasgow on the 17tli of March, apparently in expectation of a lettor, which not finding, he left again on the i'.V.h for the Bridge of Allan, leaving word that any letters that came to him should be '•forwarded to him there by a fellow-lodger,

On the a letter came for him, which jw.ts forwarded accordingly: and on Sunday following, (the 22d.) he appeared afc his ^lodging telling the landlady that the letter had" brought him home, and that he intended to go back early next morni

Meanwhile, on Saturday .'mother letter come for him. This last letter, which was fimnd after his death in his coat-poeket was aj follows: "Vi iiy. dearly beloved, did you hot eome .tome? (.)h, beloved, arc you ill Come to mo. Sweet one, J. waited and waited for yon, |»tit you came ttot. I shall wait again lo-morrow ighi —same hour and arrangejinent. Do come, sweet love.

Ever believe mo to be iyour own and over dear, I'ondvj^iMJNI." lie seemed to his landlady a good deal better thr.u when he left, lie went out in

Ihe evening, taking the pass-key with him, saying lie might- be late, and directing the landlady to call him for tiie early train in the mornings About hah-past two in the morning the door-bell rang with great violonee, aiui the landlady, going to the door. found him on the. steps very siek, of which sickness he died in a few hours and a '.pox! morian examination seemed to establish, beyond question, that his death had been caused by arsenic, given in a very large quantity.

Lt appeared from the testimony of the Char.t'clJor of the French Consulate at Glasgow, whoa year ur more, before had bton t.ii intimate terms with the deceased, that (hiring the year 1850, L'Angelier had i-nrriod on a love correspondence with Miss Smith, which was kept, secret from her father, as be was opposed to the match. Some jiSvo hundred letters, forming a part of this correspondence, and found in the possesiion of the deceased, were produced on the tri-tl. It appeared also that he was in the habit of having interviews with her by tapping at (he bed-room window, which was on the ground lloor and stanchioned outside. She admitted, in her examination, an arrangement, to marry him last September, which had afterward been postponed to March also, that for several years past one Mr. Minnock, a gentleman of property, "had been coming a good ueal about her father's house," and that about a month be-fore-he had made a proposal of marriage to her, and that "she had given him her hand in token of acoeptauec." She denied having seen the deceased for about three weeks before, his death. On that occasiou lie had tapped at her bedroom window, and she talked to him through the stanchions, but did not go out nor let him in. The object of her letter of the '20th of March, (forwarded to him at Glasgow) was to obtain an interview to inform him ot her engagement with Mr. Minnock. She expected him accordingly on Saturday night-, but he did not come, and she had never seen him since. She admitted having given him some cocoa from her window one night some time ago, she could not tell particularly when also having written him a note produced on the trial, proposing to send him a loaf of bread but this, she said was a joke, she having previously ascribed his sickness to want of proper food, and that no bread was ever seat. She also admitted having bought several quantities of arsenic but this, she said, she had used as a cosmetic, applying it to her face, neck and arms, diluted in water. She had been advised to use this preparation by an acquaintance, the daughter of an actress, and had also seen it recommended in the newspapers but as she did not wish her use of it for this purpose to be known, she had concealed it from the family, and had bo't the arsenie under some other pretence.— The purchase of the arsenic was abundantly proved by other witnesses, her own signature to an order for it, as is required by British law. It was made without any attempt at concealment. Mr. Minnock, the second lover, knew nothing, as appeared by her testimony, of the engagement or acquaintance of Miss Smith with deceased. It appeared that the deceased was told by his friend of the French Consulate of the engagement of Miss S. to Mr. Minnock, to which he had replied that

it could not be true that if any such thing was attempted, he had documents to forbid

THE KAWI-'ORDSMUJ:

the bans. To another friend he had stated about a fortnight before February 22, that Miss Smith had written to him to return her letters, but that he would not do it, and that he never would allow her to marry another man.

For the defense it was attempted to be shown that the deceased was of an excitable temperament was subject to violent bowel attacks had threatened to commit suicide and had spoken of occasionally taking arsenic—not as poison, but as medicine, or perhaps to improve his personal appearance, of which he was very vain.— Some evidence was also put in of the ordinary use of arsenio as a cosmetic. But no arsenic was found among his effects. Such was the state of this singular case on the evidence, all of which had been put in, the case remaining to be summed up by the counsel and passed on by the jiuy.

Of the intense public interest, which this trial has excited in Scotland, and of the appearance of. the prisoner, the Glasgow Scotsman says:

Every day sees hundreds at the door of the court, who would willingly expend guineas in obtaining a look at the young lady. Hundreds arc daily passed in for a few. minutes by official friends to catch a glimpse of the prisoner, and may be seen departing with an air af satisfied curiosity upon their anxious countenances. Others, who are privileged to sit in the court through the day, may be seen surveying the slight figure at the dock with eyes that never weary of gazing upon it from the opening of the diet till its close while the newspapers, in the sccond and third and fourth editions, with which the town is hourly deluged, stop the press to tell how she looked at a particular hour, how she was seen to blush at a certain point in the. evidence, and how for breakfast she had coffee, rolls and mut-ton-chop, which she ate with great apparent heartiness.

In the midst, of all this excitement, passing through the eager crowd from and to prison, seated at the bar with hundreds of eyes fixed steadily upon her, Madeline Smith is the only unmoved, cool personage to be seen. From the first moment to the last she has preserved that undaunted, defiant attitude of pcri'cct rcnosc which has struck every spectator with astonishment. She passes from the cab to the court-room, or, rather, the cell beneath the dock, with the air of a belle entering a ball-room.— She ascends the narrow staircasc leading into the dock with a cool, jaunty air and unvailed countenance, the same perpetual smile—or smirk, rather, for it lacks all the elements of a genuine smile—the same healthy glow of color, and the same confident- ease. The female turnkey at her side looked much more of the prisoner, for while she is still and scarcely ever lifts her eyes, Miss Smith never ceases surveying all that goes on around her—watching every word of every witness—returning every stare with compound interest—glancing every second minute at the down-turned eyes in the side galleries—and even turning right round upon the reporters immediately behind her, to see how they get along with the note-taking, which is carrying her name and her deeds into every British home.' "When judges and jurymen retire for lunch, she refuses even so much as a small packet of randwichcs. Others may be thirsty amid the hot excitement, but when the female attendant offers her a glass of water she will not have it. There she sits, refusing meat and drink or a moment's retirement in her ecll, with a smelling bottle in her dainty little hand, which she never uses, a splendid specimen of phj-sical power, and of such endurance as only a will of terrible strength could attain. When she is called up to plead, she says, in a clear, sweet treble—no trace of huskmcss or of

Democrat says that, according to his experience, it is like a country road he once traveled, which, at the start, was broad and plain, straight and smooth, promising a pleasant journey and speedy arrival at the desired goal, but soon began to twist around fences and wind through the woods, becoming less distinct at every step, until, at last, it ended in a rabbit track, and ran into the ground.

GREELEY SUSTAINED BY FACTS. It lias been but a few weeks since that Horace Greeley, in a burst of indignant rage, declared that, in Illinois, no persons entertained any social or political prejudices against negroes, except Douglas and his brother Democrats. He further asserted that whenever white women in Illinois chose to marry black men, the laws of tliis State would prove no harrier to such amalgamation. We, as far as we felt authorized to do so, denied that Bepublican ladies in Illinois would seek negro husbands in defiance of law, but the Bepublican papers ill not unite with us in the denial.

Be that as it may, Knox county, Illinois, or at least all that part of it lying about Galesburg, has lately been thrown into a high state of excitement by a verification of Greeley's prediction. It seeiris that during the campaign of last year, when Banks, Burl in same, Grover, Ilale, General Nye, and other Abolitionists visited this region, the negro equality faith,, always very strong, got"intensely heated afc Galesburg, and "a most respectable and wealthy farmer of that vicinity, the head of a large family, by wsiy of showing his sincerity in the doctrine, took a negro man into his house, treating him as an equal and a fit associate for members of his family.

Time, which develops all things, has developed even to the Abolitionists of Galesurg the practical cfrects of the teachings of Burlingamc and Banks. One of the

daughters, a young and blooming girl—is now a mother, aud the mother of a black man's child Abolition ladies, mothers and maidens who cheered General Nye and John P. Hale, when they asserted that negroes were equals of white men, now turn away from the poor victim of that system of teaching. Galesburg has long been celebrated for its Abolitionism. It is fit that its practical manifestations should have occurred there.

That the child should be taken to the Mayor's office on the following Sunday, aud after the ceremony of the Lord's Supper, should be christened. 2. That tho child's name should be John Wentworth.

The young ladics'of the Female Colleges at Galesburg, who have had Abolitionism taught them on every occasion, have. now before them a beautiful example. Ihey can write houic to their parents that the "lovely" doctrines of negro equality upon which so many wSrds !V.ve been exhausted and so many anthems sung, and in whose cause they have so often appeared at political meetings, have at last a living witness. The complexion of the descendants of one of the Kansas shrieking damsels of Galcsburc will be of that peculiarly attractive hue known as "molasses color.''
