THK FIRST CLIENT.
BY IRWIN RUSSELL,
(a leoal mrrr to be bito without chorus to the
Aln Or "THE KINO'S OLD COURTtlB,"
John smith, a young attorney, Just admitted to tho
bar,
Was solemn nnd sagacious as as.youngattorneys
aro;
And a frown ot deep abstraction held the seizin ot
his face,
Tho result of contemplation of tho rulo In Shelly's
case.
Ono day In tcrra-tlmo Mr, Smith was sitting In tho
Court,
When somo good men nnd trua ot tho body ot tho
county did on their oath report.
That heretofore, to wltt upon tho second day of
May,
A. D, 1877, about tho hour ot noon, In tho county
and Stato aforesaid, one Joseph Scroggs, lata ot
said county, did then and there feloniously take,
steal and carry away
Ono bay horso, ot the valuo of fifty dollars, moro or
less,
(Tho samo then and there being of tlio property.
goods and chattels ot ono Hczeklau 11 ess) ;
Contrary to tho statute In such caso expressly made
And provided ; and against tho pcaco and dignity of
the Stato wherein tho venuo had been laid.
Tho prisoner, Joseph Scroggs, was then arraigned
upon this charge,
And plead not guilty, and ot this ho threw lilmscll
upon tho country at largo ;
And said Joseph being poor, tho Court did gracious.
ly appoint
Mr. Smith to defend hlm-much on tho samo principle
that obtains In every charity hospital, where a
young medical student Is often sent to rectify a
serious Injury to an organ or a Joint.
Tho witnesses seemed prejudiced against poor Mr.
Scroggs ;
And tha district attorney mado a thrilling speech, In
which lie told the Jury that it they didn't find tor
tho State Uo reckoned he'd have to "walk their
logs ;"
Then Mr. Smith arose and made his speech for the
defense,
Wherein ho quoted Shakespeare. Biackstone, Chltty
Archbold, Joaquin Miller, story, Kent, Tuppcr,
Smedcs and Marshall, and many other writers,
and ever body Bald they "never heered slcha
burst of eloquence."
And ho said : "On 'this' hypothesis, my client must
go free ;"
And: "Again, on 'this' hypothesis It's morally im
posslblo that ho could bo guilty, don't you
seo 7"
And : "Then, on 'this' hypothesis, you really can't
convict ;"
And so on wlth'forty-Blx moro hypothcses,upon none
ot which, Mr. Smith ably demonstrated, could
scroggs bo derelict.
But tho Jury, never stirring from the box wherein
they sat, returned a verdict of 'guilty,' and his
Honor straightway sentenced Scroggs to a three-
5 ear term In the penitentiary, and a heavy nnc,
and the costs on top of that ;
And the prisoner, in wild delight, got up and danced
and sung;
And when they asked bun tho reason of this strango
behavior, ho said : "It's becausq I got off bo
easy, for If thcre'd ha' been a few more of them
darned 'hypothesises' I should certainly have
been hung 1"

Helene's next engagement was with the
new cure of Ilubry, M. Lorho, where she
succeeded her sister Anna. There three
persons died In as many months JIarie
Jeanne Llsconet, her aunt, and the priest's
sister and niece. They all exhibited the
samo symptoms which had attended upon
tho death of tho invalids of Ouern. Helcne
passed many nights watching beside their
bedsides, and M. Lorho's sister was eo con
vinced of her devotion that she would accept
a drink from no other hand.
From liubry Hclene moved to I.ocmlnc,
where slio bound herself out to a washwo

an aversion to .Uelene, refused to receivo
food or tnedicino from her hands, and re
covered. Ileleno left tho house speedily,
saying "I fear I may bo accused of all these
deaths. Wherever I go Death follows me i"

in, ato one of her soups and died. "Un

almost immediately after eating ono of
Helene's broths. Thence the woman went
to a convent at Auray, whenco she was ex

the day of the burial Helcno left nnd took

sick, but, having her suspicions, got
rid of her servant and recovered. The
servant then went to one Mme. Hetel,
but this woman's son, having heard of her
conduct at the convent, put her out of doors.
Too late, however. Mme. Hetel had eaten
of several dishes prepared by her servant,
and her death ensued in a few days. Hel
ene's fatal record did not prevent her from
finding employment in tho family of ono M
Jouaiino, whose son, aged fourteen, speedly

of drinking vinegnr, tho doctor laid tho in
testinal pains and inflammations to the ac
count of that habit. Not long thereafter
ileleno found a homo at Hennebon with a
M. Kernllic, who was just recovering from
an intermittent fever. A cup of tea pre
pared by her hands and her sleepless minis
tering beside his bed ended him. In 1839
tho Bame servant was employed by a Mme,
Neron, and this mistress died as speedily
nnd with exhibition of the samo symptoms.
Such wai tho Indictment framed against
her; during the readingof which tho pris
oner was suddenly seized with a hysterical
attack, and lifting her hands to Heaven fu
riously called, in an almost inarticulate bab
ble, upon God and the Holy Virgin to attest
her innocence and deliver her. At tho same
time tho witnesses who were present began
crying aloud for justice upon her, this bid
ding her restore a wife, that a mother, the
other a child, making furious attempts tho
while to get at the prisoner and tear her to
pieces ; so that it was with the utmost diffi
culty that the gendarmes could save her and
restore quiet. Tho prisoner had strenuously
denied her crime, and declared that she had
never used arsenic, neither ever bought any,
neither had any one ever seen any arsenic In
her possession. Indeed, though science
clearly Bhowed that the deaths of tho latest
victims had resulted from arsenical poison
lng, no traco of the deadly drug was to bo
found, was ever found in the prisoner's box
es or haunts, nor could any one be discover
ed who knew of her having it.

Her examination presented nothing that
was sensational. She denied everything, ad'
mltted that she had tended the dying beds
of those with whose deaths she was charged,

Ill-luck which sho could not understand
Her language, strongly Infused with Breton
Idioms, was clear, Intelligible, and even
mocking. Sho recurred repeatedly to her
pet phrases, "Oh, for certain ;" "I speak
truth as if it was the angelm;""! dearly love
the child, because, like myself, she had
Sainte-Helene for patroness;" "The blessed
Salnte-Anne can Bay If I am lying," and so
on. Pressed with the facts of the deaths of
her late fellow servants, sho said: "If Qod
ever places me beside a sick person; not a
bite nor a drop will I give that person even
if ho were dying; see what my good nature
has brought me to. I know nothing about
any poison and, Lord willing, I never will.
I have suffered much, but God will give me
grace to endure all. If I did not die while
n prison it was because Jesus sustained me.
He knew all about me."
"In threo months," said tho Judge, "threo
servants working with you fell asleep ; all
three showed symptoms of poisoning with
arsenic ; no one but you fed and nursed
them, and yet you claim to be innocent I If

by telling tho story of Absolom. Dwelling,
with all a woman's tact and persuasive elo
quence, upon the dreadful end of a wayward,

the most important moral lesson suggested
by the fact that the young man Absolom, re
sisting all the better Influences which sur
rounded him, rebelled against a kind father
and yet a more loving heavenly Father, she
hud in simple, earnest language wrought up
the story with chief reference to its moral
impressions upon those half-demented chil

degree of her success, she requested them to
ask questions about anything in the story
that most interested them. Not over flat

simplicity, eagerly asked, "Did they git the
