A 8EIBATIOHAL TRIAL Byraud and BSBpllo* Before HU Purl. Court. A Paris cable says : Yesterday it the Gouffe trial the judges' order h the trunk bo opened led tu intenie excitement and noiay demonstration! in the court room. Mile. Uoonpard said >he bought the trunk in London to pack linen in. In a colloquy between Eyrand and Mil*. Bom- pard, the former maintained that the Utter was throughout cognizant o( the intended order. The woman stontly denied Eyraud's assertions. She declared he invited Gooffs to her room, and ahe was ignorant ot the purpose for which be brought him there. The preoident of the court called these srrrrtiom absurd, whereupon the prisoner retorted, amid laughter, Ihere ate many absurdities m thin case." Later E> rand told the story of his visit to Amerioa with Mile. Bom pard The latter asserted that on thtir arrival in Ban Francisco they were at the end of their resources, and Eyraud contem- plated murder and robbery with the view of gelling treuh supply of lands. Eyrand deuud thin, exclaiming : 44 Let them take my bead. I have de- served it. But my past IB unsullied. ' He gave a detailed account uf bia flight to Mexico, where he said he was tracked like a bunted animal. He complained bitterly of the newspapers, whiuh likened him to Cartouche and Mandrin. After he had described bis arrest at Hsvaua and hid bortive attempt at laiciie, the court ad- journed till to-day. At the trial of Michael Eyraad and Oabrielle Bompard, (or the murder of Notary Goaffe, to-day. Eyraad persisted in bis statement that Mile. Bompsrd con- ceived the details of the crime, and that passed the noose around the victim's Mile. Bompard denied Eyrand's abatement. During the proceedings Mile. Bompard was seized with a violent fit ot hysterics and was carried screaming and kicking to cell. When she returned to the dock later she was very pale. Garang^r, witb whom Mile. Bompard tied from Ban Francisco, rtplying to a question from Gabrielle's counsel, said be bad repeatedly hypnotized Mile. Bompard, who was a re- markably impressionable snbjaot. A Paris cable says : At the trial of Kyrand aud Gabrielle Barnyard to-day Dr. La Cassagne, wbo performed the autopsy on the victim's bo.lv, was asked whether the fraoture of Gouffo's neck was due to hanging or to pressure of banda. The wit- ness npliod be was not certain, but it was probably caused by hands. Mile Bom- paid here staled that E)raud threw the cord around GouflVs throat. The cord alipped, whereupon Eyraud seized Gouffe by the throat aud strangled him. Eyraad exclaimed : " 'i'bat was not what hap- pened. I hanged GoufK-." " Doctor," be aaked, " oan you say bow long it takes to strangle a man ?" This question elicited murmurs of horror from the spec- tators. Dr. La Cansagne replied that very short time might be neces- sary. Eyrand then inquired whether the doctor though: be oouid put a body in without bdp. Or. La Cassagne that he thought it not to be impossible Eyiaud protested that be could not do it, adding, " I won't ask that experiments be made " Dr. Bernard testi- fied that GouhVs bu.iy was fouml in a sack, bead downward, i'be le K s were folded up. Kyrand interposed, saying, That could not bo. While the body remained SUB pended I let it elide into Uie saok ft*! fore- most. ' The laborer who foiiud the sack gave testimony confirming Kyrau i's stale ment as to the position of the body in the aaok. Dr. Brouardell, wbo bad been deputed to examine iuo the mental condi- tion ot Mile. Bouipard, expressed tbe con- viction that the was perteolly responsible for her actions, although sbe would come under the category ot tbe "morally esent," being a person that would commit crime with indifference. Dr. rjuoreste, the physician of tbe Bom- pard household, deposed that be bad hypnotized Gebrieli.-, an>l that he believed it postitl i that sbe hd b -. n brought in a similar way uudrr the lutlu-ucu of Eyraud. Dr. Brouardel, be:ug reoallcd, tleuud the influence of hypnotism, and a scene ensued. Dr. V. inn. a pbyeioian connected with the police department, wbo was called at tbe request of Mile. Bombard, sworn he bad hypnotized tbe wowau. He declined to enter into dalails on tha Around of pro factional seormiv . Mlln. Bompard's counsel declared that I)r.
