THE DAILY EVEfllKG TELEGRAPH rniLADELPIIIA, WEDNESDAY, JANUA11Y 20, 1870. The Croat Paris Shooting Case Full Dttails of the Affair The Action of the Corps Legislatif. The Interview The Mieotlnst of riwor Nr. The Liberie, of Paris, edited by M. Emile de Girardin, January 12, contains the follow ing details of the shooting of M. Victor Noir ky rrince Fierre Bonaparte: On learning the report of the affray one of the staff immediately net out for the office of the Marseillaise, and there found the follow ing despatch: "Atrr-trff, 8 P. M Dreadful attack My wIlneHH, Victor Noir. killed by a piHtol shot by Pierre liona jiarte. lie nag Just expired. Pascal Ghoussbt." "We immediately left for Autentt, passing by the Corps Legislatif. The session was over, bnt the hall was crowded. The report had been spread, but no one would believe it, nevertheless it was remarked that M. Rocho f ort precipitately left the Palais Bourbon and entered a carriage in company with M. Ous tave Flourens. Frince Tierre Bonaparte lives in No. W) Rue Auteuil. A crowd had Assembled before the house, and a guard of some ten gendarmes were stationed before it. M. Noir had strength enough to descend the stairs, and was carried to a pharmacy, where he immediately expired. The boll had pene trated the heart. While MM. Viotor Noir and Ulrio de Fou Tielle waited upon the Prince, MM. Paul Gronsset and George Santon awaited the wane of the interview below in the street. On leaving the house M. Noir fell a few steps from where his friends were standing, and crept a few yards on his knees. Immediately afterwards, M. do Fouvielle trashed out, calling "Murder ! " Seeing that the police, who had no orders to arrest the Prince, were satisfied with keeping him in night, we returned to Paris, where the fur ther particulars were gathered from M. de Fouvielle in person. His statement runs as follows: January 10, at one o'clock, M. Victor Noir and himself went to Prince Pierre Bona parte's house, in order to demand satisfaction respecting certain articles published by him .gainst M. Pascal Grousset in the Avenir U la Cone. Our cards were handed to two servants who were at the door. We were then ushered into a small parlor, And ulti mately into a drawing room. M. Pierre Bo naparte entered, when the following words were exchanged: "Sir, we call on the part of M. Paschal Grousset, in order to remit you a letter." "So you do not come from M. Rochefort, &nd yon are none of his tools ?" "Sir, we call on other business, and I beg to call your attention to this letter." The letter was then handed to the Prince, who retired to a window in order to peruse it. After reading it he crumpled it in his hand and returned towards his visitors. "I provoked M. Rochefort," he said, "be cause he is the standard bearer of the rabble. As to M. Grousset, I have nothing to reply to him. Are yon the representative of that car rion (c?uiroyne) f" "Sir," replied M. de Fouvielle, "wo come loyally and courteously to fulfil the mission ntrasted to ns by our friend.". "Are yon the bondsmen of that miserable?" Victor Noir then replied, "We are the bondsmen of our friends." Then advancing suddenly and without fur ther provocation, Prince Bonaparte slapped M. Noir in the face, and at the same time drew a ten-barrelled revolver, which he had hidden in his pocket, and fired point blank at II. Noir. Noir sprung up, pressed his two bands to his breast, and rushed to the door where he had entered. Then the Prince made towards M. de Fouvielle and fired another hot. 11. de Fouvielle then drew a pistol from his pocket, but he could not get it ont of the case. The Prince advanced, but when he saw the pistol he drew back, and, placing Limself in the doorway, took deliberate aim. Then M. de Fouvielle opened a door that Le felt behind him and fled, crying "Murder!" While running a second shot was fired at him, which went through his coat. THE TBINCE'b ACCOUNT. The version of the Prince differs from the above merely in the fact that his arm was raised in a menacing manner after being pro voked by the language used by M. Victor Noir, who also slapped him first in the face. As he always carried a small revolver in his pocket, he instinctively drew it out and fired. The Prince's hasty temper was well known, And on the morning previous to the visit xuade to his house, M. Noir's brother had warned the latter of the consequences that might befall him. lie did not dream of such extreme measures being taken, but he thought that the lrinc might have ordered his ser vants to torn them ont. tub scKxa or thk attack. The following is a description of the room whers the fatal occurrence took place: About twenty steps are ascended and the visitor finds himself in the fencing gallery, a Sort of Ante-chamber to the saloon. This apartment, the walls of whioh are bare, has only one point worthy of note namely, the chimney piece at the end, where there is a rather curious collection of swords, daggers, And firearms. There are specimens of them from every country, from the matchlock of the Chinese to the eapingole of Castille; from tho primitive arqnebuse of the Huguenots to the American rille. There are also the most recent oiodelH, and lastly, the ordinary fowl ing piece. The Prince is a groat amateur of weapons, and a new one is rarely produoed without his receiving a visit from the inven tor. Thus it is almost impossible for a visitor to sit down and lean against a piece of furui tnre without displacing an arm of some sort. THK I'UINCK IN TIUSON. Prince Pierre Bonaparte, now detained at the Conciergerie, has the faculty, so far at least, of receiving his family and friends, and owing to the kindness of the director the visitors find no difficulty at all in obtaining access to the prisoner. The Princ;KB Pierre Bonaparte, with her two children, vii.ited her hunbund yesterday at the Conciergerie. THE MAJEMTERIAL EXAMINATION. M. Bcrnier is (he examining magistrate charged to preside at the first inquiries. He has already interrogated, as witness, M. Ulrio de Fouvielle. The hearing commenood towards 11 in the evening, and only termi nated at 2 in the morning. M. Ulrio de Fouvielle has Dot been arrested, as one of this morning's jourauls has aftimiaj. Prince l'ierre Iionap&rte is detained in one of the turrets looking on the Quui de l'ilor loge. Yesterday morning Doctors Tardieu i and Bergeron extracted from the body of Victor Noir the ball which caused his death; , it is a projectile of a cyliudro-coniool urui nnd vt wonll sue. HIE Wl'.WS I MMVKH'A'rrO TO THE F.Mrl.riOR HIS jwa.'i fty'b Hr.MAUKS. The l'mpt ror learned the news on arriving fit the railway Mation u his return from Uaui bonilkt. M. l'ietri, the Prefect of Police, informed bis Mnjesty,who became quite pale, and directed his informant to have the mat ter immediately brought before the judicial authorities. M. L'uiile Ollivier, on leaving the Ijcgitdative Body, examined all the papers re lating to the incident, and gave orders to have the rrince arretted. He then prooeeded to the palace, and after stating to his Majesty tho gravity of the situstion in which Prince Pierre was placed, announced that he hiul directed the immediate commencement of the judicial examination. "I approvo," said the Emperor, P"of all that you have done. No member of my family is aliove the law, and justice must pursue its course with the greatest possible publicity." THE COURT OF TRIAL. The following particulars concerning the High Court of Justice will be found interest ing: Instituted by the two constitutions of 1848 and 16f2, this jurisdiction was organized by a mnotus consultant of the 10th July, lr, which, by maintaining the attributions estab lished by article fifty-four of the constitution of that year, regulated the composition of the court and the mode of proceeding to be followed. The same rules are at present in vigor, and the principal of ' them are as fol lows: The High Court judges without ap peal all persons sent before it charged with crimes, outrages, or plots against the Empe ror and against the safety of the State at home or abroad. It can only be sum moned by a decree of the Emperor. It is composed first, ef a Chamber of Accusa tions and of a Judgment Chamber, formed of judges taken from those of the Court of Cassution; second, of a High Jury, taken from among the members of the Councils General in the departments. Each Chamber is composed of five judges and two substi tutes, oil of whom are appointed every yoar by the Emperor during the first fortnight of November. The imperial decree assembling the High Court designates, among the judges of each Chamber, the one who is to preside. The Procureur-Generul to the HigU Court and the public prosecutor are reappointed for each affair by the same decree. In case of the High Court being convoked the presi dent of each Chamber names a clerk, who takes an oath. The jury chosen by lot from among the members of the Councils Gene rals consists of thirty-six members and four additional. When an affair, has been submitted to the High Court by a decree of the Emperor, the Chamber of Accusation at once commences its functions and con ducts the investigation, or charges some judge or officer of the judicial police with the in quiry. Its jurisdiction extends over the whole territory of tho Empire, and its pro cedure is governed by tho Code d'Instrnction Criminelle. No Councillor-General of less than two years' standing cau form part of tho jury, any member of which absent without valid cause may be condemned to a fine of from 1000 to 10,()00f., and deprivation of his political rights for a period of from one to five years. The accused and the public pro secutor may challenge members of the jury. A verdict of guilty or the admission of ex tenuating circumstances must be given by a majority, comprising more than twenty votes. The punishment is pronounced in conformity with the provisions of the penal code. Such is the legislation of the High Court of Justice. The Cne Before I lie I, e lain Hire RIM. Itor.lie Ion, Ollivier, nml Kiiniuiil on tlio Crista. The Legislative Body sat January 11, M. Schneider in the chair. M. Gnyot-Montpay'roux asked for leave to interpellate the Government on the necessity of subjecting the members of the Bonaparte family to tho ordinary courts of law. M. Rochefort I wish to put a question to the Minister of Justice. , The President You have permission to fipeak. M. llochefort A murder was committed yesterday on a young man engaged on a sacred mission, that of a second sent to make a communication. The criminal is a member of the imperial family. I ask the Minister if he intends to oppose to the judgment and probable condemnation of that person the same denial of justice that was made to those citizens who were beaten with sticks by - cer tain high dignitaries of the empire. The situation is grave, and the agitation immense. (Interruptions.) The murdered man is a child of the people. (Noise.) The President It was decided yesterday that questions should be put summarily and without development. Yours has been stated in precise terms. The Minister has now to consider whether he will reply to-day. (Hear, hear.) M. llochefort I say that the victim is a child of the people. The population claims to judge the murderer themselves. They de mand that the ordinary jury (interruption and noise) The President We are all children of the people. All are equal before tho law, and you have no right to make distinctions. (Hear, hear.) M. llochefort Then why appoint judges devoted to the imperial family? The President You place judges under suspicion without knowing who they are. I now invite you .to confine yourself to the question or I cannot allow you to continue. M. llochefort I ask myself, after an occur-, rence like that of yesterday, and in presence of the facts which have been taking place for some time past, whether we are living under Bonspartes or Borgias. (Exclamations, cries of "Order! orderl' I call on all citizens to arm and administer justice for themselves, (llenewed agitation.) The President M. Rochefort, I call you to order. (Hear, hear.) It is not permitted to take advantage of the immunity which covers members of this Chamber to use such lan guage. (Fresh applause.) M. Rochefort Yesterday at six in the evening that man had not been arrested. (The rest of the phrase was lost in the noise.) The President I invite the Chamber to calm and silence. The question is most re rious, and remarks must not be allowed to be uttered without being heard by the President. (Assent.) M. Emile Ollivier, Minister of justice Gentlemen, we are justice and law. I ask you also to be calm and moderate. M. Raspail But murder has been com mitted. M. Emile Ollivier Allow me to explain. You will reply to me afterwards, if you please. You interpellate the Government with out rages. We shall reply to you without insults. (Hear, hear.) A painful event A Member of the Left Painful event, in deed 1 .It is a crime. M. Fmile Ollivier If M. llochefort were better acquainted with the rules of justice, of which he puts Limself forward as the sole re presentative, he would know that when a citizen is awaiting trial under accusation' no oue Las a right to anticipate the verdict of the judges aiul toudeinu him. 1 (Hear, hear.) As soon as the Minister of Justice was in formed ytsterday of the painful event in question, he ordered the arrest of Prince l'ierre Bonaparto. The instructions were about to be executed when the Prince gave himself tip as prisoner at the Conciergerie. That first measure having been adopted, there remained to consider what jurisdic tion would be competent to judge the affair. Prince Tierre Bonaparto, through the Procureur Imperial, asked to be tried by an ordinary jury. I replied that the Minister of Justice was bound by the formal text of a Senatus Consnltnm, and that his duty was to apply the law, although he might subsequently consider whether the legislation did not re quire to be modified. (Hear.) I have in con sequence submitted to the Emperor, for his signature, a decree convoking the High Court of Justice. We will ' afterwards examine whether that exceptional jurisdiction should be abrogated, and we shall perhaps be of your opinion. But, sir, I will not tolerate that you should accuse any judge of being wanting in dignity and independence. M. llochefort I refer to my own con demnations. M. Emile Ollivier You have only to refer to some of your colleagues who exercise their profession before the tribunals, and they will tell you that the French bench is deficient in neither of those qualities. (Hear.') M. Rapp&il It has no independence what ever. (Do not interrupt.) M. Emile Ollivier Moreover, the jurisdic tion before which we send Prince Pierre Bonaparte is not of recent creation; it is composed not only of judges, but also of a jury chosen by lot among tho councillors general of all the departments. You appeal at every moment to public opinion; therefore, why do yon complain that the whole country, and not the city of Paris alone, should be the judge of Prince Pierec Bonaparte ? (Ap plauFe.) After this explanation, I have only to add that the Government has fulfilled its duty (Yes, yes) with firmness, promptitude, and decision. (Hear, hear.) It will continue in the same course. Let us not exaggerate the gravity of the situation. A murder has been committed by a high personage; we prosecute him, and thus prove that, faithful to democratic principles, wo subject both great and small to tho justice of the country. (Loud applause.) MM. Rochefort and Raspail That is what we demund. M. Emile Ollivier As for the provocations by which an attempt is made to excite popu lar passions, by Rpcakiug of a "man of the people killed" and by descriptions of a nature to excite the imagination, we look on them calmly and without fear. We are the law, right, moderation, and libsrty; and, if you compel us, we will use force also. ("Hear, hear;" prolonged bravos and applause.) M. Ruspail You aro applauding a melan choly act. The President The Chamber has com mended language which deserves to be sup ported. M. Raspail The murder has caused more sensation than that of Trnupmnnn. (Iuter ruption.) And the authority to which you defer it is not justice. The President You must confine yourself to the question. M. Raspail The tribunal before which the murderer of Victor Noir will be tried will be composed of judges named by yourselves. We know what those high courts of justice are. We have seen them at work. They aro de voted to the men by whom they are ap pointed. (Noise.) Have we not daily exam ples? The President I cannot permit doubts to be cast on the independence and sincerity of the judicial authority. (Hear, hear.) M. Raspail We require a jury not com posed of enemies of the people. (Exclama tions.) I repeat, we know what is meant by high courts of justice. In one of them was once found a man who had been condemned to the galleys. The President I have just received the following letter from the Procureur-Goneral: "Paris, January 11, 1870 I have the honor to ask the legislative body for authorization to prosecute M. Koeliefort, one of Us members, for an offense agalDit the Emperor and for Incitement to revolt and civil war, In virtue of articles eighty-six of the l'enal Cose and two of the law of May 17, 1819. The infraction consists of au article published In the Marteillaue, entitled 'Murder and Attempted Mur der, Committed by Prince l'ierre Bonaparte.' Jus tice, Monsieur lo President, cannot, by allowing contempt of the law to pass unrepressed, favor by Its slUnce outrage, offense, and provocation to crime. 1 have the less hesitation to solicit from the legislative body the present authorization to prose cute, that in reality the offense is less one of the precs than a violation of the common law, puiiiBhed by the legislatures of all free peonies. 'Grandi'Bkukt." By the terms of the regulations this de mand must be submitted to the bureaux. I ask the Chamber when they will be convoked to examine the application. Shall it be to morrow ? Numerous voices Yes, yes. M. Creuzet I propose that the President should have a copy of the paper incriminated deposited in each bureau. The President The request shall be ac ceded to. M. Guyot-Montpayroux I ask that it shall be accompanied by ono of the journals to which the JfurseUlahe in the first place replied. OURTAINS AND SHADES. y H.
