A VINDICATION.
CONDEMNED MAN'S INNOCENCE DECLARED. (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association/* LONDON, Dec. 31. The Daily Mail's correspondent says th© Court of Appeal solemnly pronounced the innocence .of Louis Danval, condemned to death for poisoning his wife with arsenic, and whoso sentense was afterwards commuted to life imprisonment. Medical exports at the trial testified that arsenic found in the wife's body was a sufficient cause of .death. Its presence was unaccountable except that it was administered. The progress of science refutes the testimony, and shows that the arsenic found was insufficient to •cause death, and is merely a normal amount found in any human body. ; Th« Court awarded Danval compensation of £250, plus on.annual pension of £l5O.
