Fallibility of Cironmataitied Evidenco, ~
A correspondent, writing to ah Edinburgh
ppper respecting the case of Mrs. M’Lachlan,
now, Jjing under senjtenca of death . for the ■
Sjindford Place: murder at' Glasgow, gives the:
following instance .of the danger of relying
solely., on circumstantial leridenoe. I would
.apk, is the circumstantial evidence on which
.this .woman has been found guilty, and sen*
fenced to die, any stronger than that which in
many. ptfier cases has been adduced against
accused persona who have ultimately proved
to be wholly, innocent; of, the crimes, laid, to
their charge! rAnd this question.l do not hes
itate to, answer with an emphatic No I ... ..
Here,, then, is one case, and although
J cannot give the date—-itma? be ten, fifteen,
or even twenty years ago—nor even the names
of the parties concerned, the more important
particulars thereof are as perfectly impressed
upon my memory as if the occurrence were
but of.yeaterday. And thus it wias: A gen
tleman posted a letter containing a ten-pound
Bank of England note—the number and date
of which he knew—at a place not far from
Southampton, to a house in. London. ’ This let- ■
ter failed to reach its destination, and conse
quently an advertisement was immediately
published in the local papers offering a reward
for its recovery. The veracity of the party
who posted the letter, was ' unimpeachable.
But this consideration was of no moment what
ever, for no sooner bad the advertisement ap
peared than a respectable tradesman in South
ampton came forward with the stolen note.
‘‘And where did you get ill?” said the party in
charge of the case. “From Miss so-and so/'
was the reply ; “I changed it for her upon
such a day,” “And who is Miss So-and-so.
“Why, with pain I must tell you that her
father keeps the post-office at —“What
the post-office at which the lost or stolen letter
is said to have been posted T Alas I too truly
such was the foot. Inquiry was then mart el at
the post-office as to whose doty it was to sort
the letters therein received, and to put them
irilo their respective, bags.. And here again
the Answer instantly given was Mies So-and-so
—the self-same young woman to whom the
tradesman had given change for the stolen note.
.Here, then, a certain lotter/containing money,
was posted at a certain place, and the very
first person person into whose hands it would
naturally fall, after it was put into the letter
box, was clearly proved to have passed the nots
which the letter contained. ' i
The girl was immediately apprehended, and, J
when brought before the magistrates, she mere
ly declared her innooenee; but haring no ex
planation to give as to how she became pos
sessed of the note, excepting one which she
oould not, for a moment hope to be credited;
She offered no explanation whatever, in the
first instance, and was forthwith committed for
trial. ,
This girl was, however, totally innocent of
stealing the, letter; and, although she obtained
change .for'the note which it contained, she
did that too under circumstances which, when
explained, left her character unblemished as
purity itself.
And now, sir, before we go any further, I
leave itfor those who think with the learned
■judge-in-'Glasgow, that “ circumstances can
never lie,”- {o discover how it happened that,
in this case, lie they did, and that most fear
fully, seeing that, as already said, the girl was
perfectly innocent.., ■ . . ..
. Well, the upshot of, the story is this. The
day. of the trial was approaching, and the cer
tainty uf oonviction_ and fearful punishment
staring the wretched girl in the face,, when a
gentleman—l £hink it was the clergyman of
the parish in which she lived, had an interview
with her,in prison, when, finding, it.utterly im
possible, to,extroct any confession of her guilt,
and being still urged to .tell the whole truthj
at: least jto him, she now stated that upon it
certain day she was walking from her own
home to Southampton, When she was overtaken
by a gentleman, who, was driving a gig toward
Southampton, and who offered faera ride there,
which she accepted ; that on reaching South
ampton he drove up to one of the principal
shops, and asked her to step into the shop and
get him. change for a ten-pound note; that she
did so and then bade him good day. And this
account, she had not given sooner, partly be
cause-she could not expect any one to believe
it, and partly because she knew her father
would be .angry with her for accepting a seat
in a gig, offered to her by a casual passer by.
Well did.she know the gentleman. No. Ilad
she ever'seen him before? No. Or since?
No. Could she describe his appearance ? ■ Yes,
accurately. Would sbe know him again if she
should chance to see him ? Yes instantly.
Andwith this meagre clue ts guide him, the
friendly gentleman-proceeded to the proper au
thorities, and obtained permission for the ac
cused,‘accompanied by himself and an officer
in plain'clothes, to walk through the South
ampton postruffice in the 'capacity of visitors,
n't a time when all the persons employed therein
were at their respective. posts. The scrutiny
was very short. ■ Five minutes sufficed to iden
tify and secure the real culprit, at whose lodg
ings proof. in abundance was fonnd of his other
delinquencies, whilst upon bis trial it was also
■proved that he had a holiday on the day that
the note was changed, that he -had hired a gig
fot that day from,® stable keeper in the town,
I and was. seen to drive np tq the. very door of
itbe-sbop in which the note was changed. This
man was transported for life, whilst the unfor
tunate’girl was at once liberated without a
trial; So much for the infallibility of circum
stantial evidence. .
