The case of the unfortunate aristocrat; Blanche Monnier.



    

The story of aristocrat Blanche Monnier may be centuries old, but that does not make her story any less interesting. The woman's discovery came after the Paris prosecutor general received an anonymous letter saying the woman had been held captive in a house on Rue de l'Athocratie, a small village near Paris. It was home to a distinguished bourgeois family, often known in France as the "Confining House of the Aristocrat" or "The Confinement House" (or, in English, "Palace of the Aristocrats"). Her discovery came after the Paris prosecutor general received anonymous letters indicating she was being held in a "house" near Place de la Republique, the city's main entrance, on the outskirts of Paris. 

    

On August 16, 1892, one of the witnesses heard Blanche shout the following words: "A year ago, I was arrested with my mother, Madame Monnier Demarconnay, whom I arrested the next day and detained at six o'clock in the evening. On 17 August, the same day, she was arrested again, this time with her husband Jean-Baptiste and two children. 

    

Several witnesses said they heard Blanche screaming repeatedly in the attic, with one witness claiming she screamed: "What have you done to me to get locked up? Several officials later testified that when they heard her pleas for her release, they said nothing for fear that she was mentally ill, even though they themselves had been arrested as accomplices to her imprisonment. 

    

Madame Monnier had a beautiful daughter named Blanche, who disappeared from her home in the village of Chateau-sur-Seine on the outskirts of Paris. On the other hand, the police remembered that she had disappeared from the city at the age of 25, which aroused the suspicion of the authorities and put her in the care of the local police department. The police, however, remembered her disappearance from custody on 2 July 1963, just a few days before her 25th birthday, and on 1 August 1964. She disappeared without a trace, drawing the suspicion of the authorities but not the attention of her parents. 

Blanche told authorities that her mother had locked her away when she insisted on marrying a man she didn't particularly like. It seems that Blanche was determined, at least initially, not to bow to her mother's will, and remained silent in a sunless room locked with padlocks. After realizing that she would never take Blanches away without a penniless lawyer, Madame Monniers locked Blanchier in the tiny room for the rest of her life. 

    

Blanche's brother Marcel later claimed Blanche was mentally ill, but he and she had never tried to escape from the locked, locked room, claiming she was "mentally ill." Blanche's brother Marcel and Blanche's sister Madame Monnier in their home in Paris, France, in the early years of the 19th century. Blancher's brothers Michel and Marcel (and their sister) in the tiny room with their mother, although they never tried or even claimed to be insane. Blanche's brother and brother - in - law, Jean - Baptiste and his wife Marie - Antoinette, at the same time. 

    

When Blanche Monnier was released from the room, life was not easy for her and she continued to suffer from mental health problems. This disorder led to her being admitted to a psychiatric hospital in Blois, France, where she died in 1913 in apparent obscurity. Instead, she managed to lose a few kilos in hospital and, shaken by the whole ordeal, died in 1912, but not before 1913. 

    

If that is true, then the saddest part of the story is that there was not a single person who really cared about Blanche, who also wondered what cruel crime had happened to her when her own lover was a lawyer. In public, she was just another dead woman mourning her mother and brother to sell her story. Perhaps they would not have been held any longer if the Paris prosecutor had not released them from their prison cell, but perhaps they would not have been held any longer if they had not been released. If true at the time, the sad thing about this story is not just that she died in a psychiatric hospital in Blois, France, but not in her home in Paris. 

    

Louise Monnier and Marcel were immediately arrested and put on trial. At first, they claimed that Blanche had decided to stay in the attic because of her love depression, because she had been denied the beloved husband, but the court did not buy her. Many neighbors admitted that they were aware that she was locked up and accepted that there was no doubt in their minds that Blanche was crazy and did not want to send her to an asylum. What the shocked social elite knew about MonNier was that he had gone to grieve, not least his - to be a husband. He often wore clothing to symbolize his grief, such as a white shirt, black pants and black shoes.

Volvo gave away the patents to one of the most important safety devices ever invented

 This week Volvo Cars won a trademark infringement case against dozens of Chinese counterfeiters who sold counterfeit parts for the company's flagship Volvo XC90 on the internet. The case echoes another lawsuit Volvo filed in 2018 against nearly 100 people for trademark infringement who sold counterfeit parts online.       The sellers' websites attract tens of millions of visitors a year, who spend billions to make it in China, Volvo said. The lawsuit was filed by Volvo Cars on behalf of truck and bus manufacturer Volvo AB, which is owned by the company together with Volvo Trademark Holding. Ford bought the Volvo Group - which still owns the Volvo commercial vehicle brand - in 1999. Ten years later, Ford sold the Volvo brand to its parent company Truck and Bus Holding AB.       Volvo Buses introduced three-point belts under the seats in the early 1990s. S. S., London. In 2009, Volvo estimated that this revolutionary technology saved one milli...

Willie Mae Bragg, First Black To Execute Using Portable Electric Chair

     The nation's first portable electric car was given to Mississippi to take revenge on a 28-year-old Negro man convicted of killing his estranged wife. A black man named Willie Mae Bragg, who was convicted of killing his wife, was photographed being strapped to the throne of death by deputies and then dying by electrocution. It looks like he was strapped to the "throne of death" by a deputy, but it was the first time in United States history that lawmakers tied him to it.       Thompson had trouble unlocking the bulky wooden and metal chair from a large truck that contained a gasoline engine that produced the deadly electricity and putting it in the prison cell. McGee then had to sit on the rocking chair to give him what he still said was the truth about Mrs. Hawkins. Bragg was shocked again by the electric shock, then by a series of electric shocks, before he finally ended his life.  Less than a year later, in March 1955, Gerald Gallego, convi...

What Happens If You Fall Into Quicksand

  How to escape quicksand may sound like something that only applies to Indiana Jones, but this stuff is more common than you might think. If you decide to dip your head - first in and get stuck - you could be killed by it, buried alive, submerged in your chest while standing, or even killed if you fall into it. It will not be universally easy to understand, and even a failed attempt at self-rescue could end badly, but if I get in such a boat, I could die.       Imagine you are in a large pool instead of in quicksand or swamp and the tide comes in, the big question is: if you sink deep into quicksand, what should you do if you get stuck in it? If it's a bad choice not to try too much and escape, what do you do to get out of the way? What do I do when I sink into a deep quake, is there any way to get out?       Quicksand appears as a water-saturated and agitated surface of loose sand. When the water swells up from the ground, you can stumble i...
