Extraordinary Trial at Brussels Court of Assizes
A high profile Brussels trial featured M. Caumartin accused of murdering M. de Sirey on November 19 1842 in the Rue des Hirondelles. The court heard 22 prosecution witnesses and 36 for the defense, with dramatic testimony from Mlle Heinefetter and others about a marriage contract, jealousy, and alleged schemes. The defense portrayed Caumartin as mild yet involved, while the prosecution argued intent to kill and rejected self defense. The panel adjourned as the case drew intense public interest.
