Count Zychlioaki had married her daughter wittier and her
two daughters accompanied the prisoner to Paris, the pri.
sneer making all the payment.. Lived oe amicable terms
with the er until January. He than became exceed-
ing:Lviolent. From the argent counsel of French and
friends witness wrote to Colonel Golts, and by his
advice sent the prisoner's photograph. He actually kicked
wittier out of doors. He said witness had calumniated him.
Captain Lowe accompenled witness and her two daughters
from Fiume. After witness had received • letter from the
Pruedsa colonel she wrote to her husband. Before the
Baron married her daughter witness wrote several letters to
her /nabbed at Zychlinski's dictation, and she was awry to
erg that in three letters witness represented that the pri-
ssier had readered her some pecuniary assiatance. Alter
the maniage witness lent the count 500 francs, to pay for
• gun he bad purchased. The first quarrel the prisoner
and hi wife had was his denying having bad 1100 C. for his
wedding.

citor, Mr. Campbell, to give the Baron 4001., because he
believed his representations to be true.
