A FATAL QUARREL.
A shocking murder was committed at a little after
eight o'clock on Saturday night, in the presence of
hundreds of people, just in front of the Café de Is
Terrain°, at the corner of the Boulevard Bonne
Nouvelle and the Rue d'Hauteville, Paris. Among
the regular customers of that café were two commer-
cial men, MM. Weissmann and Patrice'. The former,
a man of about 40, was born at Constantinople.
Daring the Franco-Prussian war of 1870 and 1871
he served France in the Foreign Legion, and took
out letters of naturalisation as soon as peace was
restored. Since that time he had been a sort
of agent for the sale of Turkish carpets
and other Oriental merchandise. He had recently
had a dispute with Patricsi, who seems to have shown
great irritation against him, when, accompanied by
his wife and nephew, he met him on Saturday night
at the Café de la Terrasse. In any case, to avoid an
altercation between his two customers, the master of
the café, M. Terrien, went up to M. Weissmann, and •
told him that he could not serve him, and invited him
to leave the establishment with his wife and nephew.
This put M. Weissmann into a rage, and a scuffle
ensued between the two men; but M. Terrien had suc-
ceeded in pushing Weissmann out of the café into the
street, and was pushing him away still further, when
suddenly Weissmarn drew his sword-stick and mor-
tally pierced his adverssry through the heart.
The sensation which this tragical ending of the
affair created may easily be imagined. The crowd
that had collected jumped to the conclusion that the
assassin was a Prussian, and immediately attacked
him. Three young clerks, wha had been look-
ing on and talking together- in a foreign lan-
guage, were also assailed, and seriously ill-used on
suspicion of being Germans. Fortunately several
policemen were at hand. After arresting Weissmann
they protected both him and the three young clerks,
who would otherwise c9rtainly have been lynched for
the crime of not speaking in French. Weissmann
declares that the deed was done without any sort of
premeditation on his part. He had no idea that M.
Terrien had determined not to allow him to continue
to frequent his café, and the sword-stick had been
bought by him two years ago. He has a rather bad
wound on his forehehead over the left eye, which he
affirms was inflicted on him by M. Terrien, who struck
him on the head with a thick glass beer jug. It was,
be says, after the jug had been broken on his head
that *he drew his sword-stick. M. Terrien, the
vif"tiin, was a man of 55 years of age.
