Finally, the confession, at the very moment when.\nthe case was hopelessly muddled by the false evidence given by\nNikolay through melancholy and fanaticism, and when, more-\nover, there were no proofs against the real criminal, no sus-\npicions even (Porfiry Petrovitch fully kept his word) — all this\ndid much to soften the sentence. Other circumstances, too, in\nthe prisoner's favour came out quite unexpectedly. Razumihin\nsomehow discovered and proved that while Raskolnikov was at\nthe university he had helped a poor consumptive fellow student\nand had spent his last penny on supporting him for six months,\nand when this student died, leaving a decrepit old father whom\nhe had maintained almost from his thirteenth year, Raskolnikov\nhad got the old man into a hospital and paid for his funeral when\nhe died. Raskolnikov's landlady bore witness, too, that when\nthey had lived in another house at Five Corners, Raskolnikov\nhad rescued two little children from a house on fire and was\nburnt in doing so. This was investigated and fairly well con-\nfirmed bymany witnesses. These facts made an impression in\nhis favour.\nAnd in the end the criminal was in consideration of extenuat-\ning circumstances condemned to penal servitude in the second\nclass for a term of eight years only.\nAt the very beginning of the trial Raskolnikov's mother fell\nill. Dounia and Razumihin found it possible to get her out of\nPetersburg during the trial. Razumihin chose a town on the\nrailway not far from Petersburg, so as to be able to follow every\nstep of the trial and at the same time to see Avdotya Roman-\novna as often as possible. Pulcheria Alexandrovna's illness was a\nstrange nervous one and was accompanied by a partial derange-\nment ofher intellect.\nWhen Dounia returned from her last interview with her\nbrother, she had found her mother already ill, in feverish delir-\nium. That evening Razumihin and she agreed what answers they\nmust make to her mother's questions about Raskolnikov and\nmade up a complete story for her mother's benefit of his having\nto go away to a distant part of Russia on a business commission,\nwhich would bring him in the end money and reputation.\nBut they were struck by the fact that Pulcheria Alexan-\ndrovna never asked them anything on the subject, neither then\nnor thereafter.
