I quitting her lie threw away a pnignard. The yrung woman stag-
( gered, awl fell near an adjoining door, vermiting great quantities of
blood. She died as she was carried into the Hotel thin. It was
toned by the eue.ii,:al men that she had received eight wnonds with
a triangular it:scrotum., any one of which %%in sufficient to cause
instant death. Paper. found on her showed thnt her name was

woman tailed Hrusie, whnse husband idemilied her body, and
stated his suspicion that Adolphe Slams, a journeyman barber,
who had lived wi b her for come time, had committed the act on
account of her abaneoning him. On tailing at his lodgings, the

sopped with a Llanket, and a stove with burning charcoal in the
middle of the room. A letter on the chimml•piece contained a

crrered, and meugMzed the Doty of Henriette Coulon. The indict.
