THE HAYM.ARICAT MURDER.

The following appeared ea seccessere editions of The Sun
of yesterday
The greatest excitement •was occasioned at Marls
borough-street this morning. .in consequence" of the
examination of the man Lani, -
Outside the office an immense crowd had collected,
and it was with the greatest difficulty the entrance of
the police court. was kept cleair. The crowd was prin-
cipally composed of foreigners,, and the greatest anxiety
was manifested to get a glimpse of the man who
had rendered himself so horribly infamous.
By the prudent arrangements of the police, the Pri-
soner was conveyed into court by the back entrance, so
that the whole of . the persons assembled outside were
disappointed the gratification they had braved the cut-
ting wind in a pelting sleet for hours to witness. .
It is rather a remarkable fact that within the last
three years there has been • no less than six cases of
murder at this court, five of them having been com-
mitted by foreigners.
After the disposal of the night charges, the prisoner
Giovanni Lani was placed at the bar, charged with the
murder of Heloise Taubin. He Was brought into court
and took his place in the dock without the slightest
appearance of concern. He appears to be a. person of
about 21 years of age. He was dressed in a black talma
and black trousers, and is by no means a desperate
looking fellow.
Julia Levi—l reside at BeArundel-court, Haymarket.
The deceased Heloise Taubin had lodged in my house
about four months. I don't know the date she first came
to my house. The murder took place, on last Tuesday
night. I was in Charles-street on the" evening in ques-
tion, when the man whom I calf thesassassin came up
and spoke to me. The prisoner at the bar is the Man. -I
am certain of it. He is quite a stranger to me. I was
in conversation with him about three or four minutes,
and then we walked 'up the Haymarket. Whilst
walking be asked me to go &Me with him and
offered me ten francs, but I declined, saying' it was
too early. Before I left him I pointed out the
house in which I resided. At half-past ten I
saw him talking to women in Arundel-court. One of
these women was the deceased. lie came to my house
at about eleven o'clock the same evening. I was in my
Parlour, but I heard him ask for " Madame." I did not
recognise his voice at the time. Tie did not ask for any
other person, he merely asked for Madam. The servant
opened the parlour door and I recognised him immediately.
He said he had come there to sleep with me and,l refused
to entertain his proposals. He then said to my servant
" Then I will sleep with the woman with whom I have
been speaking with outside." Th 3 conversation took
place in French. Ann Brown then went to fetch the
deceased who was at the time walking in Waterloo-
place, While Brown was absent the prisoner,
remained in my parlour until the deceased arrived
home. It was about three minutes after he had
spoken about her. When the deceased came
in she laughed. and went upstairs to her own room with
the prisoner. The deceased bid me g'aod night. I did
not see them both enter the room, but I saw them
on the stairs. lam quite positive that the man at the
bar is the man. I have no doubt of it. About eight
o'clock the night following two persons came down
stairs and cried out " poor Heloise is dead." I did not
eater the room. I was half dead with fear.. I don't
know what became of me. I have not seen the body of
the unfortunate woman. I have not seen the prisoner
from theosight I have spoken of until the present time. I
don't mind about her dress, but I know that on the
evening I am speaking of she wore an antique watch
and two riogs—one of the rings had a red stone in it.
The prisoner declined asking any questions, but said
he wanted to make a statement.
Mr. Beadon—You can do that presently.
Eugenie Silvester—l reside at 8, Arundel-place (the
locality formerly bore the name of Coventry-court). I
have known the deceased about 10 months. Toban is
the correct name of the deceased. I amaware that the
marriage had been legally set aside by divorce in the
French courts ; but the deceased always used the name
of Toban. -
Mr. Beadon—There is no such thing as divorce in
Feanee. It is a &Taxation between man and Wife, and
the-woman always retains the name of her husband.
Toban was her correct name.
Examination proceeded—l was with the deceased
about 10 o'clock on the evening in question. We met the
prisoner, and we asked bins to go home with us. While
we were talking together Madame Levi passed. He said
he had an appointment with her at 1,1 o'clock, but I told
him she woud not keep it with him, as she had to meet a
gentleman. He then left us and we proceeded to
Waterloo-place. On arriving in Piccadilly we met the
prisoner again, and he then said as he could not g,. with
Madame Levi he would accompany one of us. While
deceased and I were taliting at the corner of Jermyn-
street, Levi's servant arrived, and the deceased left me.
I remained out till one o'clock in the morning, and on
" Heloise, come to supper." The deceased
I am in bed ; and I then heard the prisoner say—
" There is no occasion for you going down to supper, if
you want any thing I will send for it," The deceased
said she was in the habit of taking her meals with her
friends, and in about five minutes afterwards she entered
the room and remained there until about two o'clock. I
saw her return to her own room. I went shortly after-
wards to her room for a book, and the prisoner opened
the door
and gave it to me. I never saw her alive
afterwards. At about one o'clock on the following
Wednesday, a friend of -mine, a gentleman, called
the deceased, but she did not answer. At
about two o'clock I went up stairs again, and
as the deceased had not made her appearance
I felt somewhat alarmed, and I looked through the key
hole of her room door and saw tba bed in disorder, but
I did not see the body. At 8 o'clock I, accompanied by
a friend of mine, went to the door of deceased's room
;led broke it open. We then discovered the deceased. I
and my friend went up to her, and on removing the bed-
clothes found she was dead. She was lying on her face
between two pillows, her arms drawn back, and her
fingers slightly clenched, ard her wrists quite blue.
My friend said nobody should enter until a medical
man and the police arrived. A surgeon
was sent for.
The deceased wore a watch which I have seenon several
occasions. She wore a gilt chain, two rings,a pair of
earrings. She had no money in her possession. In the
early part of the evening she had three shillings,
but
she Tent it. The earring (produced) is one of the pair
,
she wore on the evening she was murdered. The articles
of dress found in the prisoner's travelling-bag and port-
mantsau were then shown te the witness and she positively
identified a velvet jacket, a black dress, a small French
clock, which was discovered going in
the prisoner's
birth on board the Pride of the Thames, a comb, a
brooch, and several other things, as her property which
was io her room on Thursday morning. I am positive
when the prisoner gave
use the book there was no
scratch on his face.
The prisoner, while this witness gave her evidence,
frequently smiled, as she mentioned the time and places
at wbich she and the deceased had met the prisoner.
r. Beadon, through the interpreter, asked the pri-
sone Mr
he had any question to ask this witness.

she was dead. The witness
re-
moved the bedclothes a little, and pushed her, calling
out, "Heloise, come to dinner," I immediately saw
in which he discovered the body. It was nearly in the
same words as the former witness.
In answer to the usual question whether he wished
to ask the witnesses anything, the prisoner replied with
rthis deecribed the position
a smile— " No, I have no questions to ask."
Eliza Disher—l reside at 8, Ara
-court. On Wed-
nesday morning about half-past
7 o'clock, the iprisoner
passed me at the bottom of the stairs and left the house.
He came from the direction of the deceased's room at
the top of the house. He turned round on the door-
steps to shut the door, and I distinct) saw his face. I
y
am certain he is the man. I heard some groans shortly
after, but I supposed they proceeded from a
person who
was lying sick in a room adjoining that of the murdered
woman, He bad nothing in his hands, but he appeared
very stout about his chest.
Lani—When I left the house two persons went oat.
Witness—There was no person but the prisoner who
left the house at the time I have stated.

been torn off the front.) The shirt was shown to the
Prisoner, and he did not deny its being his property.

and at the station she was met by a French gentleman,
with whom she went away, and I did not see her
again." Madame Virginia asked me if the watoh had
been found, when he again touched me on the shoulder
and said, "It was stolen from me by some English
admen, and in defending myself against them I had-
my face scratched in this manner."
IVTr. Frederick Tothill, surgeon, of 8, Charles-street,
St, James's-park, examined—l was called on Wednesday
evening to No. 8, Arundel-court, 'to see deceased, -and
found her supported by a pillow on either side, .lying on
114 face on the bed. On removing her clothes I found
no' marks of injury. On turning the blidy over, the
clothes and body were warm, but the extremities cold.
Her face and body generally presented a livid and bodily-
tensed appearance. The face was swollen, and features
diiitorted, the eyes prominent, and papas dilated. There
was blood and mucus running from the nose, the torgus
prbtruding and swollen. Oa the lower part of the
trachea I observed a dark livid spot, about half the size
of n fourpenny-piece. The fingers were contracted, and
thb nails livid. This morning, with -the assi..tance of
154.. Palmer,
,house surgeon of this hospital, I made a
Pot mortem examination of the body ; the brain was
found much congested and ecchyrnosed ; the general
appearance otherwise healthy. On removing the skin
from the trachea we found the muscles much congested,
as if pressed upon. On' emoving the trachea we found
no obstruction or foreign body in the trachea horizan-
tally. The heart appeared generally healthy, the lungs
',lre much congested, but otherwise healthy. The heart
contained a quantity of black, dark blood. It was
Lather small, but in other respects presented a healthy
appearance; On examining the stomach we found some
undigested food, apparently soup. The liver and viscera
generally were likewise healthy. The' kidneys were
rather congested, but still healthy. From the appear-
adee, both internally and externally. I should say the
cause of death wes by strangulation, effected by pressure
upon the windpipe._ There is nothing else to account
fol. death, and all thet appearances justify us in coming
to' the conclusion that death has *resulted from strati-
;lllation. I have no doubt whatever in my own mind
that strangulation was the cause of death.

;After come further evidence the prisoner was fully
committed for trial.
'During the whole of the examination, which occupied
nearly four hours, the prisoner exhibited the greatest
indifference to the whole of the proceedings. Re leaned
upon the front of the bar with his arms folded, and now
and then made a few trifling observations while Mr.
Albert read the evidence over to him, but always with
a emile.

'The prisoner's luggage consisted of a new leather port-
manteau, a new black enamelled leather bag, a French
bat-box, an umbrella and a small walking-cane, all of a
superior description. His clothing is also of good quality,
hits talma being beautifully -of &lamented with silk braid
add velvet.
