THREE MURDERS.--Threo murders, committed
woman in the neighbour-
withinquarters,
asho
have created
hood was heard to Bay, "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
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 tic arm of the policeman, and said,
~ There ho is," pointing to a man crossing the street. "Are
you sure ? " said the policeman. " Yes, quite sure." " Then
go he me, 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. He 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.
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 he passed the entire day, speaking appa-
rently of serious matters. The policeman then thought
it necessary to erap/eY an assistant whom he in-
structed to place himself in company with the two, and
to offer himself as a guide to conduct them to the best
taverns and other houses of entertainment. Ho was
acceved, and after a couple of days the three persons were
on the best terms possible. Tee policeman then told his
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 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 will several bonds, which had been stolen from
the woman murdered. On a further search a well •sharrened
dagger was found in a narrow pocket,
