On the day following the death of the little Ozanne Helene entered the service of M. Roussell, proprietor of the Bout-du-Monde hotel in Rennes. Some six weeks later Roussell's mother suddenly became ill. She had had occasion to reproach Helene for sullen ill-manners or something of that sort. She ate some potage which Helene had cooked. The illness that ensued lasted a long time.
The explanation of everything was in repeated dosing of an arsenical substance. The witness had also attended Mme Roussell, of the Bout-du-Monde hotel. It was remarkable that the violent sickness to which this lady was subject for twenty days did not answer to treatment, but stopped only when she gave up taking food prepared for her by Helene Jegado. He had also looked after Perrotte Mace.
The evidence of M. Roussell, of the Bout-du-Monde hotel, touched on the illnesses of his mother and Perrotte. He knew nothing of the food prepared by Helene; nor had the idea of poison occurred to him until her arrest. Helene's detestable character, her quarrels with other servants, and, above all, the thefts of wine he had found her out in were the sole causes of her dismissal.
But in the following days Helene did nothing but talk of ``that poor Rose, and M. Bidard, before her persistence, could only believe he had been mistaken. ``Ah! Helene said. ``I loved her as I did that poor girl who died in the Bout-du-Monde. The witness wanted to find some one to take Rose's place.
