the murder of the third woman, a woman in the neighbour-
hood was heard to say, "It
well-dressed man with 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
again. She replied in the affirmative, and the police-
man requested her to accompanY him through the town,
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 the arm of the policeman, and said,
46 There he is," pointing to a man" crossing the street. " Are
you sure ? " said the policeman.Yeisp) quite sure." " Then
go lime, and leave the rest to me. The policeman fol-
lowed the presumed murderer step by
step. He breakfasted
at the same tavern, and drank his punch in the same
coffee-house. Ho accompanied 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.
Tho policeman did the same, and seated himself in the
same carriage with the man he was watching. On arriving
at Leghorn the suspected murderer mot a companion,
with whom he passed the entire day, speaking appa-
rently of serious matters. Tho policeman then thought
it necessary to employ an assistant whom he in-
structed to place himself in company with the two, and
to offer himssl las a guide to conduct them to the best
taverns and other houses of entertainment. lie was
accel,ted, and after a couple of days the three persons were
on the best terms possible. Toe policeman then told hi,
assistant it was time to act, and that ho should at a favour-
able opportunity propose to his companions to commit a
robbery. After having considered the matter they agreed
to carry it 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 man with the black beard
were found female ear-rings and other articles of jewellery,
together wish several bonds, which had been stolen from
the woman murdered. On a further search a well •sharrened
dagger was found in a narrow pocket,
