Remarkable Trial for Murder: A remarkable trial for murder has just concluded at the assize held in the department of Dordogne, France. A young peasant named Camille Amblard, was betrothed to Luce Fabre, the daughter of another peasant in the same village. The father of Lucie Fabri refused for a long time to give his consent to the marriage, as he was anxious to marry his daughter one Fourniew, a suitor who was much richer than Camille Amblard. He was egged on to withhold it by his son-in-law, Amedee Pinsant, who was married to Lucie’s eldest sister, as the latter had been promised an addition to his allowance by Fournier if the marriage took place. … (discussion) … (Camille was strangled) … The son-in-law, Amedee Pinsant was arrested, and the charges were clearly brought home to him. The jury, however, gave him the benefit of extenuating circumstances, and he has escaped with 20 years penal servitude.
