x»iuilfii-A CU.picr of Crisis Coa-
dt.Kd From Itiatory MlUlm
From the ClDClnnitl Commercial-Gazette.
In the year 1676 the Marquise do Briavil-
Her, wu executed at Pari, for poisoning half
a dozen relative,, .tying nothing of various
patients of the Hotel do Dien, on whom .he
tested her drug,, while ostensibly visiting
them u a Wend of tho lick and sorrowing.
Her detractive agencies, famished by her
lover. Sainto Croix, end by him obtained of
the Italian Exili, were examined by the doc<
tors of the time. According to them they
"deled all tests, surpassed the knowledge and
•kill of medial men, floated iipon watcrjwhou
burned left only on innocent re.ldum,, end
animal, killed by them remained healthy, and
fresh in ill.their parts.
This declaration .hows the deplorable lack
of chemical aklll two hundred yoars ago.'
It la nqw known that Sainto Croix pre
pared, and Ilrlnvllller. nsed almost if
not quite txclutlvely, arsenic and the cor-
naive sublimate of mercury. No two
potions, if.we,may except phosphorus, an
more easily detected qt the preaent day, Ar.
sente, in putijjular, la mi antiseptic or preven
tive of decoy. It has' ban discovered in ye-
males fourteen years after burial. If, as in
tin caaea, It la eliminated from tho atomack
and aooe of the aeCntlona before death, It
will generally be found in tho liver, end even.
In the brain.and bones. Tho evidences of its
prcienco.can.usually bo observed In tba aymp-l
toms of the patient, for It Ja an irritant poison,
though lacking the comslve qualities which
give to the bichloride of mercury its popular
name.
Such being the facta, it la hardly creditable
to the medial profession of Boeten’e suburbs
that lire B. J. Bohinson, of Somerville. Mass,
achusetts, ahould. haro numbered her nr-
enth victim before exciting atupiciou and
getting arrested. She might have escaped
on thla last ocoaalon had . not the snSbrer
grown uneasy and communicated his
forebodings to his physioian. When she wu
once in Jail, the attendants on her previously
deceaied relatives nailed sundry peculiar
circumstances regarding their pstlent*.' One
of these excused his ignorance on the ground
that the effects of arsenic were very imperfect
ly understood. Yet every, toxicologist wonld
sgne with the eminent Dr. Taylor in tho
opinion that “except by the entire datractlon
of tho body In a case of arsenic.] poisoning, a
criminal can not now.defeat. the object, of a
chemical investigation.” Indeed, one ease is
on record in which a corpse wu burned be-
y.nd recognition,but the stomach still, con
tained some particle, of the deadly mineral.
Margaret Wlahart, of Scotland, was convicted
acme years ago of overdosing a parson in,
whom stomach one-foitieth of a grain of arse
nic wu found.
According to all accounts, however, Vrs.
Boblnscn owed herlmmtinity in part to her re
markable tact and skill. Bather an attractive
appearing woman, she succeeded in directing
the attention ot the doctors from all tell-tale,
circumstances; Urns, like the Marquise de Brin-
vfiliers, sbn wu fast laying up money throogh
tho deaths of relatives. Had life insurance
bun known in tho French woman’s day, she
wonld donbtlcu have Men. u her modern imi
tator hu done, that her patients had taken
ont policies. It is hard to- say which of the
two offender! has exhibited more of boldness
and beartlcisneis. Yet, in BrinvlUiera’ day
poisoning was followod os a floo art. Tbs
practice bad been Imported from Italy. It bad
flourished there daring tbo rule of the Borgia,,
H03-1600, end spread again like an epidemic,
at Homo In 1GGU. It became the fashion for
young wlvu to put away their- husbands,:
and an old fortune-teller named Spare was
executed far fnrnUblog - the potion.
Span claimed to ba tha pupil of the
infamoue Signora Tetania, of Naptea and Pal
ermo. A gnat deal of romance hu ban writ
ten about the poleoni employed by the Bor-
gias, the Medici and Tofenia. They are aid
to have been able to kill their victims Instant
ly or by alow degrees; to infuse deadly venom
Into a pair of gloves, or Into
bouquet of flowers, and to futon a
poisoned ftng or claw to a Huger ring or the
randle of a key. Much of this is the veriest 1
nomeoso, although a correspondent of a Lon
don piper not long ago claimed to own one of
the rings and to have suffered from Its scratch.
Three hundred years had wakened, bat not
destroyed tho venom of the claw, according to
his excited lmatinstioo.
Wo are told, too, that Closer Borgia killed
cows with arsenic and gathered the foam from
their llM for nse on human subjects, and that
he cured himself of the poison masnt for *
cardinal, bnt swallowed by himself and low
lucky father, by lying in tho body of a re
cently slaughtered ox. The stortu amused
or hortlfltu the people of past generations,
but they most now be accepted with many
reurvattons. No doubt there was a great do.l
of secret poisoning In the days of the renaia-;

lieved by her contemporaries that sho had

The sdvtneo in chemistry hu rendered the
use of mineral poison, so hazardous that none
bnt tbo ignorant and recklus would presume
to employ thorn. Tho ulto and extracts of
aconite, digitally nux vomica aod other veg
etable snbetancu have found greater favor
among shrewd criminals, bnt detection hu
almost always followed, oven when direct
tests cf their presence were uosst-

In muscular paroxysms, sod later In ape-
culler rigidity of the body after death ha.
ensued. It presence in -the stomach is also
euily shown. Aconite, which wu used by
the ancient Bomans when an uncongenial
neighbor or a rival wu to bo removed, while
not affording direct chemical evidence of its
pretence, leaves signs which betray Its ate. In
a recent cue In England net only was the as-
UHia proved to have' bought econotlne—the
salt of aconite—and to have administered It,
but the content! of the victim's stomach were
given to fowls, which died with precisely the
same symptoms u others known to hare
swallowed aconite. The murderer met the
fate ho deterred.
Dlgltalln, the actlvo principle of the fox
lleve, like aconite, doa not re.pond well to
lirect teste, bnt no villain an hope to cm-
doy it with Impunity. No one could have
rorked more cunningly than Dr. do la
Pommcraa, of Peru, about twenty-thru
years ego, still he brought himself to the
guillotine. Ho had bun intimate with a
woman named I’juvr, whom ho rejoined after
parts of the floor bad no effect upon

results. The physicians decided that some
vegetable poison bad b«en used, Tho woman
wu known to have died very suddenly,,and
to have been well previously, but tho exact
nature of tbi drug was otherwise uoortaihed.

g ractltloner could need, and he wu provod to

they were ailed. Who tho warriors, whose

conclusion that be wu the builder,

years that its hidden mysterla hare began to

of bodlei centuries buried. Atflrit faint ru

spade, wu only rewarded by dry bona or ngly
pots, they turned awty In disgust, laving fur

thus more than gold. Tbe most Ktccesaful

Bom hit paition on the knoU. Years ago the
wind bad twitted the tree off sbeat fifteen fat
from tbe ground, and Maamber, in order to,
get to tho top of tbe stamp, rat down n smalt
tree, got e long pole from Its trunk, and then
lifted tbe small end of tbe pole to the top of
tho atump, end braced tho other oud against
tho ground. Then ho climbed up the pole and!
looked into tho hole In the atump.
Hie suspicions had been arrect, for at tbe.
bottom of tho hole, where the stump wu at
leest four feet In diameter, a cub bar wu pok
ing hta nao against tho sidaof the stump and
moving around In n state of apparent uneasi
ness. Mecomber mado up hta mind to get pos
session of tbe cub right sway, and so ho lot him-
srlf down into tho hole by bracing hie arms
and knees against the sidaof the young bar’s
circular pi iron. When ho got to the bottom tbo
cub begin to whimper sna whine, but Hteom-
ber seized him quickly, end tt ona attempted
to climb out of tbe Mump. One of hta arms
had to be used to hold the trembling ctb, and
he soon fonnd that getting out of the stump
wu far more difficult than getting In. After
Maamber had several times undertaken
to stand with the cub In one arm,
he pnt the little fellow doira for tho
pnrpoao of deeartslnlng whether ho would
be able to climb out with the aid of both arms.
Be found that ho auld, end thou ho took
tome strong nieca of cord from hta packet,
and was getting ready to fasten the cub to bis
wetat when he heard e scratching on the out
side of the stomp. Ho llstonod, and the next
moment something darkened the entrana of
the holo.
Ho Immediately loosened hta hold on the
whimpering onb end looked up. As he did a
something begun to sniff end snort and growl.
It wu tbe mother bar, end she was backing
down into the hole In greet haste. Utoouber
yelled at ber to go btek and lave him alone
with the cub, but she paid no attention to hta i
command until he grabbed both of her hind 1
fat, when the uttered n roar and started to-
ward the entrana with Maamber hanging on:
to her feet. He relinquished hta grasp just u;
tbe stuck her head out of the holo and braced
himself ftr further developments. Tbe bur
appeared to bo greatly frightened, ud, without
attempting to torn upon tho Invader of hor
heme, sho clumsily movod over tbo edge of
thehtnmp and backed down tho outside. Then
Macombor bnrrlsd out and slid down the pole
With alacrity.
The mother beer met him et the foot, her
apparent fright having ban turned into furi
ous tnger. Sho ratbeast him with s growl of
rage, and tumbled him in tola hap before hehtd
s chence to flee, itrlkiog him down two or thru
times tt he wu endeavoring to get np. Ms-
amber finally got on bis fat, and, In bit
efforts to reach fils sx at tho aids of tho stamp,
the bear forced him Into another lively de
fense. One of ber big pews struck him a terrlflo
thump on the heck as he stretobed out hta arm
to grab the ex, making him fully realize tbe
fact that tbs bear would tan kill him unless
ho auld disable her. Maamber recovered
himself and gruped the sx halve, and then he
blade u tbe made for him. The blow rat one
side of ber had open, end she fell at hta fat
bleeding tnd groaning. Another blow flnlihod
ber, and then Macombor, after haring rested
a little, climbed into the stamp again, fastened
the cub to bit body, and got it tartly out. Ho
racked hta home A littlo before nan. and wu
to highly elated over the result of hit exploit
that bo didn’t peel sny lurk until the follow
ing day. •
