The death of Tougay occurring en the.' 10th of • February, excited suspitiOn in the minds of those who 'knew, the relations , , between the widow and the priest. On the'.lsth March the body was • ex bunted, and evidence of poisoning by some,, preparation of copper, probably vitriol,was dis-' tinctly tiaced. The woman at first'endeavored to threW the gilt, on ''tier' former companion, Grognard, but the •Police soon ascertained:that she had:purchased poison for rats at a grocer's, and - that after her lmsband's death she had ur-, gently requested him not to mention this fact, After her arrest she was heard frequently to mutter to herself, “My' God 1 if I tell, I shall ruin'him." . She then, told a • cireiunstantial tale, to effect that she had been the 'ads tres.s of the priest, and that he had urged. her to a frequent observance of all ,exterior. acts of, . - '.f.devirition,.in order to aVert suspicion.

It is, sup posed that she subsequently administered more poison to her victim. I3e •died on the 19th of February. The priest seems to have been fully aware that suspicion would fall on :.

It was, indeed,mainly at his instigation that the body, • xhumed-r--Wlien--the---unhappy7woma 4, - first acctised the abbe of complicity in her guilt, the latter, on being interrogated,.made several inconsistent statements, which he endeavored. . to retract almost - in the_same breath, and when brought face to faee with his accuser, he re marked to the officers: "Poor woman, if I ~ could but speak with her alone for a moment, 1 - 7 she would retract; I see that she loves me still." Several pieces of circumstantial ealllence were teduced to strengthen the case. The remains of tile poison were discovered in two places indicated by the • woman. Moreover, the: latter asserted that '. she had ob tained access tothe.priest's room by a certain ' door,whicbithe latter alleged had been bricked up for,sonie years.
