blow to pieces the cocksure evidence of the leading expert in pathology?
It may seem impossible that such a thing can ever happen againa mistake
regarding the action of arsenic on the human body。 But when we
discover it becoming a commonplace of science that one human may be
poisoned by an everyday substance which thousands of his fellows eat
with enjoyment as well as impunitya substance; for instance; as everyday
as porridgewho will dare say even now that the last word has been said
and written of arsenic?
But that; as the late George Moore so doted on saying; is quelconque。
M。 Orfila; sure about the grocer of the Rue de la Paix; was defeated by M。
Barruel。 M。 Orfila; sure about the death of Charles Lafarge; is declared
by to…day's experts in criminal jurisprudence and pathology to have been
talking through his hat。 According to the present experts; says ‘‘Philip
Curtin;'' Lafarge was not poisoned at all; but died a natural death。
Because of M。 Devergie it was for the Veuve Lacoste as much ‘touch and
go' as it was for the Veuve Boursier twenty years before。 Well might
Marie…Fortunee Lafarge; hearing in prison of the verdict in the Lacoste
trial; say; ‘‘Ma condamnation a sauve Madame Lacoste!''
In all this there's a moral lesson somewhere; but I'm blessed if I can
put my finger on it。
