"Chronique du crime et de l'innocence, tome 5/8" by J.-B.-J. Champagnac is a historical account written in the early 19th century. This volume presents a collection of tragic events ranging from poisonings and murders to other heinous crimes that have occurred in France from the beginning of the monarchy to contemporary times, arranged chronologically. The narrative delves into specific criminal cases and is likely aimed at illuminating the complexities surrounding justice and morality, often highlighting the fates of both victims and alleged perpetrators. The opening of the text introduces a case involving an errant hermit known as Nicolas Maret, or "frère Jean," who lived in solitude near Aignay-le-Duc. One fateful night, he is assaulted by thieves demanding to know the location of his hidden wealth. Despite his pleas of poverty, the criminals subject him to threats and violence, leading to a tragic series of events, including wrongful accusations that entangle him with the local community, particularly with the Gentil family, who share a close friendship with him. The initial chapter sets the stage for exploring themes of mistaken justice and the harsh realities of crime and punishment, foreshadowing the social and legal repercussions that will follow.
