ATTEMPTED MURDER IN PARIS.—The Court of AssiAti3
few days ago tried a young man of good education, 11943?—i
Roger, employed as corrector of the press in some 0"
the most important establishments of Paris, for
attempt at murder. In the evening of the 14th N'°
vember last, as a Madame Courchinoux, a milk-dealsrl
in the Rue Vaugirard, was proceeding along thai
street, the prisoner hurried up to her, and cried,
..j
fi
have suffered long enough ! For eighteen'
days,
eighteen . hours a day, I have been waiting for you
h
Ypu shall not return home again 1" "Do not Ult-
me, or I will cry out !" said the woman, greatly frig
ened. At the same moment she took to flight, hut,'"
seized her, and, drawing a knife, attempted to stab her
in the heart. She warded off the blow with her hand
and arm,, and was wounded in three places. She Is'
to the ground. At that moment a passer-by came uf:
and rescued her from her assailant. She then wen:
home, and did not dare to follow. The wounds were
not serious. She knew the name and address of h'„,,
assailant, and having communicated them to tye
police he was soon arrested. It turned out that ,u-r-
-reason for committing the crime was that he had 01_1]
eeived a violent passion for the woman, but that she had
always refused to yield to his wishes. He had become
ecquainted with her through her husband, with who'll
he had long been on friendly terms, and had been ac"
customed to take his meals in her house. According
to his account, however, he had maintained intimate re-
lations with the woman, and his reason for attempting
to kill her was, that she had had the business (his o
expression) 'to make them known to her husband. The
jury declared him guilty with extenuating circumstances,
and the court condemned him to imprisonment for
years, with hard lab Our. In the course of the trial some
verses of a religious character, which he composed just
before committing the crime, were read by his advocate.
