ti Recent French Harder Trial.

At Laon, the ancient capital of France proper, and even now one of the most interesting of old French cities, the certain lell a few days ago, on the. last scene of a tragedy which in some of its main features was peculiar to France and the French people. We refer to the trial before the Court of Assises of the Aisne of a young girl named Virginia Dumaire for the murder of Dr. Picart

Two or three years back, Picart, then a medical student attached to the hospital of Laon, became assiduous in his devotions to Virginie Dumaire, the principal legatee of an old official nsmecl Heroin, in whose employ she ba^r been at the time of his death, 'icfirt jWas poor, and the girl he professed to love paid his examination fees out of her own pocket, and thus enabled him to enter upon the practice of his profession. He promised to marry Virginie, but had no sooner fairly started in practice in a village near Laon, than he broke off all relations with her, and became engaged to a Mile. Laloi, the daughter of a wealthy landowner of the vicinity.

This was too much for the wronged girl, who moved at once to the village near which her rival dwelt, and warned her faithless lover that misfortune would come to him if he persisted in •vedding his new sweetheart. Accordingly, on the day when the Laloi family tnd Picart met to draw up the mariage contract, Virginie, half mad, burst a to the room where the party was asembled, and interrupted the notary, rying out, "This marriage will never .tke place. Never!" Picart remained passive.

A few days later, on the morning of the last day of April, 1880, Picart left Vendresse, the village where he lived, for Laon, to buy some wedding presents for Mademoiselle Laloi, who was to accompany him. Not far from his home he neard a woman's voice calling him. It was Virg.nie, who ran after him and overtook him. Her right hand was concealed beneath her cloak. She stopped Picart, and in a supplicating tone cried: "Is it then true that you are going to marry hei?" "Yes." "Then, shall I never more be anything to you?" He replied by a gesture of impatience. "It is well," said Virginie, after a moment of silence "kiss me." He leaned toward her and embraced her, and at the same moment, the young girl drew a revolver, till then concealed, and iired. The bullet struck Picart in the left temple, and he fell dead. Virginie fainted, and was fbund unconscious by the side of the dead man.

The next act in this dismal drama was in August last, when Virginie was brought to trial for the homicide. The prosecution, in accordance with the method of criminal procedure which is in use in France, sought to prejudice the jury against the accused by a great deal oi indefinite hearsay evidence bearing on her past life, but not having anything whatever to do with the specific crime' for which she was on trial. All this evidence, however, amounted to nothing, and was successfully controverted by her advocate, the famous lawyer Lacliaud. The conduct Of the defense was not an easy task, as the prisoner did not attempt to defend herself, but said in open court: I should kill Picart again if it was to be done over. I should rather see him dead than married." Still, the jury were impressed in her favor, and she would then have been acquitted if the Court had not lent itself to a strange perversion of justice'by adjourning the further hearing of the case OP. the evening before it was to have gone to the jury. Any American not familiar with the French procedure would suppose that this could h&ve been done only on the ground of some newly discovered evidence material to the case. But, no the prosecuting officer merely said that he had heard that a man named Thuillier stalled that he had met the accused in a place of bad repute in Paris, in 1871, nine years before the murder for which she was being tried and the case was put over, and Virginie remanded to prison, ostensibly in order to allow this man to be produced. This mode of getting rid of a jury disposed to acquit was a little too much for the French

and was pronounced "notexactin accordance with a healthy administration of justice."

Three months passed, and Virginie was again arraigned, now before a new jury- The witness Thuillier was not produced, but the defense showed by many witnesses that his alleged testimony was untrue. The evidence, apart from this extraneous question, was the same ds in August The accused appeared worn, and her voice was weak. The Judge, President Plichon, asked her if she regretted having killed the faithless one, and she answered No I prefer that he should be dead ither than married." I could not reconcile myself to seeing his child and mine abandoned by its father."

Among the spectators at the trial were Mademoiselle Laloi, dressed in a conspicuous toilet, and evidently not inconsolable for Picart, and a long train of the poor relatives of Virginie. The evidence showed that Picart had been in the habit of borrowing money from women, and that he only valued Virginie because she lent him money.

The jury found her guilty with extenuating circumstances. She was sentenced to ten years' imprisonment without hard labor.—A*. ?, Sun, mr*HBFr&r93i
