THREE MURDERS.—Three murders, committed
within a short period on Women living in lone'y
quarters, have created a great sensation in Florence. After
the murder of the third wore?, a woman in the neighbour-
hood was heard to say, "It is a singular fact that I saw a
well-dressed man wfth a black beard enter the house, but
/
since the murder I have not seen him./ /
The police, hav-
ing heard of this observation, called on the woman and
asked her if she would know the man if she saw him
through the town,
amgaani nr. e q She
requestedet replieded
and to look out for the man she had described. She con-
sented, and for five days she walked from nine in the fore-
noon until four in the afternoon without success ; but on the
sixth day she pressed tke arm of the policeman, and said,
ci There he is," pointing to a man" crossing the street. "Are
he r t
o i n a
cc theom
p at:tiva and the police-
you sure ? " said the policeman. Ye,s,, quite sure." " Then
go h, me, and leave the rest to me. The policeman fol-
lowed the presumed murderer step by step. He breakfasted
at tho same tavern, and drank his punch in the same
coffee-house.
ne ancempanied him to the door of his
residence at night, and pursued. the same course for two
days in succession. On the fourth day the stranger went
to the railway terminus and asked for a ticket for Leghorn.
The policeman did the same, and seated himself in the
same carriage with the man he was watching. On arriving
at Leghorn the suspected murderer met a companion,
with whom ho passed the ,‘entire day, speaking appa-
rently of serious matters. "I 'he policeman then thought
it necessary to emploY an assistant whom he
i
in-
structed to place himself n company with the two, and
to offer limed las a guide to coniuct them to the best
taverns and other houses of entertainment. He was
acceved, and after a couple of days the three persons were
on the best terms possible. Tee policeman then told hi,
assistant it was time to act, and that he should at a favour-
able opportunity propose to his companions to commit a
robbery. After having considered the matter they agreed
to carry if into effect the same night, In half an hour after-
wards they were arrested in their lodgings, handcuffed, and
searched. On the person of the mat with the black beard
were found female ear-rings and other articles of jewellery,
together with several bonds, which had been stolen from
the woman murdered. Oa a further starch a well •sharrened
dagger was found in a narrow pocket
