.ery with _ the female prisoner, Marie Le-
conte. Having made preparations, as he told her, for their
marriage, he hired an apartment for her For some days
after she had entered. this lodging nothing was heard or
seen of the unfortunate Catherine Ferranti.. The pretended
lover, L'huissier, however, was seen in - company with his
mistress, Leconte ; and both of them -were observed to
spend a great deal. of money. It was also noticed that
L'huissier often seemed in great agitation of mind, and
spoke at times of some " dreadful work", in which he had
been engaged ; on which occasions the girl Leconte always
eiteavoored to silence him or turn-the conversation. She
also manifested the greatest dread whenever she was left
alone ; and both of them, indeed, conducted theinselves in
a manner so extraordinary as to lead to suspicion that the
money they were spending so liberally had not been honestly
obtained. Suspicion having once been excited, it was re-
membered that L'huissier had been some nights previously
carrying a large bag in the direction of the river. Although
not questioned at the time as to what it contained,-he had
stated to some persons that the bag contained some legs of
mutton which he was going. to send into the country, re-
marking at the same time that the blood from them had
come through and stained the bag. This bag, as we have
already mentioned, was found under one of the arches of
the bridge near the Chamber of Deputies, and when
opened was found to contain the legs and arms and head of
the unfortunate Catherine Ferrand. L'huissier was imme-
diately arrested, and the officers of justice proceeded to
search the apartments in which his .unfortunate victim had
last resided. Here a most horrid spectacle presented itself
to their view. The apartment was covered with blood and
pieces of half-consumed human flesh. Two large knives
were found upon a table, rusted with blood, which had been
used in-severing the flesh of the luckless woman from her
bones, preparatory to his throwing it on a large fire which
he had kindled apparently for the diabolical purpose of
burning her remains. He had also severed her head from
her body. The bed, in which it appears he had first mur-
dered the unhappy creature, was saturated with her blood,
from whence, by the marks on the floor, he had dragged
her, and effected the horrible dismeMberment of her body.
Finding that the fire was not fierce enough to consume her,
be collected the remnants in the sack, and deposited it
under the arch, as already described. The woman Leconte
has also been arrested. It was expected that the trill
would commence on the 13th instant.
