CLEARED HIS NAME.
44 YEARS AFTER SENTENCE. PARIS, January 1. j After Buffering 24 years' imprisonment and spending 20 years more in clearing his name, Louis Danval, a Paris chemist, has been declared innocent of the murder of his wife in 1878. After the death sentence had been commuted to penal servitude for life poison experts declared that the one milligramme of arsenic found in his wife s body -was so small that death could not have been caused thereby. Danval was released in 1902. Later researches showed that the death of his wife was due to gland disease. The Court of Cassation awarded Danyal, who is now 80 years of age, 80,000 franca damage and a pension of 12000 francs a year for life.—(A. and N.Z )
