Use vegetable poisons; poison your fathers, poison your mothers, poison all your families, and their inheritance will be yours fear nothing; you will go unpunished! You have committed murder by poisoning, it is true; but the corpus delicti will not be there because it can't be there!" This was a case, he urged, of circumstantial evidence. "We have," he said, "gone through a large number of facts.
The murder itself, the corpus delicti, was strange; planned with deliberation and sagacity, and executed with firmness and vigor. While conjecture was baffled in ascertaining either the motive or the perpetrator, it was certain that the assassin had acted upon design, and not at random. He must have had knowledge of the house, for the window had been unfastened from within.
Verily, the 'irony of fate! An overwhelming witness for the defence, only eighteen months too late, to save a pure, beautiful life from degradation and ruin. Well may Bedney ask, 'where is your corpus delicti? Alfred Churchill, I wish you joy of the verdict, you worked so hard to win." Turning on his heel Mr.
And then, in spite of protestations to the contrary, behold! the corpus delicti that unlucky crock of gold, actually in the man's possession, and the fragment of shawl was not that sufficient? Jonathan Floyd in open court had been base enough to accuse Mr. Jennings of the murder. Mr.
Before long it dawned upon me that this Count Manucci was the son of that Jean Baptiste Manucci who had served as the spy of the State Inquisitors and had so adroitly managed to get possession of my books of magic, which were in all probability the chief corpus delicti. I did not say anything to him, but I was certain that my guess was correct.
At the same time Castaing found it impossible to prove that he had ever made a substantial living by the exercise of his profession. One of the medical witnesses called for the defence, M. Chaussier, had volunteered the remark that the absence of any trace of poison in the portions of Auguste Ballet's body submitted to analysis, constituted an absence of the corpus delicti.
No such object was found in Clyde, near Dumbarton, but a set of odd and inexpensive looking, yet profoundly enigmatic scraps of stone, bone, slate, horn and so forth, were discovered and now repose in a glass case at the National Museum in Queen Street, Edinburgh. There, as in the Morgue, lies awaiting explanation the corpus delicti of the Clyde Mystery.
Marais, nothing daunted, continued his exposures, challenging that action should be taken against himself for libel, and finally producing photographs taken by competent witnesses showing the corpus delicti in situ. The President and Mr. Kock were not to be drawn, however, and, secure in their newly-acquired positions, they declined the offer of battle and rested on their laurels.
Meanwhile, the traveller had risen to his feet. "What is the matter?" he said to the Thenardier. "Don't you see?" said the Thenardier, pointing to the corpus delicti which lay at Cosette's feet. "Well, what of it?" resumed the man. "That beggar," replied the Thenardier, "has permitted herself to touch the children's doll!"
He opens the assault, and it is well that he does so, by an acknowledgment that the versification of the Revolt of Islam, the corpus delicti at that moment under the scalpel, is "smooth and harmonious", and that the poem is "not without beautiful passages, free from errors of taste". But the "voice of warning", as he himself would too generously have called it, is not long in making itself heard.
