DIABOLICAL MURDER IN THE HAYMARKET,
AND ESCAPE OF THE MURDERER.

Inspector Burnett, of the C division, mentioned
to Mr. Bingham at the Marlborough-street Police-
court yesterday that a murder had been discovered
in Arundel-place, Haymarket.
The following particulars have been collected
from reliable sources :
On Tuesday night a foreigner accosted three
French girls in the street, and after a short conver-
sation accompanied one of them, known as Madame
li
Louise, to her lodgings, 8, Arundel-street, Hay-
market, a house kept for, and inhabited by, foreign
prostitutes. They went to bed, and nothing more
was heard of them until Wednesday morning, at
ten o'clock, when the foreigner left the house, the
servant letting him out and noticing nothing parti-
cular about him. In the course of the day, when
dinner time came, and Madame Louise did not
make her appearance, the keeper of the house and
the lodgers began to have suspicions, and about 7
o'clock in the evening resolved to search the room,
when they were horrified at finding Madame Louise
dead and quite black in the face from strangulation,
as there were finger marks on the throat, and indi-
cations of a violent struggle. Medical aid was im-
mediately procured, but the doctor pronounced
that the woman had been dead for some hours.
There was a small quantity of blood on the pillows.
On examining the room it was discovered that
nearly all the wearing apparel of the dead woman
was missing ; also some pawnbrokers' duplicates
and money. The black velvet cloak the deceased
wore when she met the foreigner was also gone. As
he earrings were torn from the ears of the deceased,
t would seem that robbery was the motive of ti is
barbarous murder.
The deceased went by the name of Madame
Louise. She was a Frenchwoman about 22 years
of age.; and when she came to England about six
o.r eight months ago, set up in the business of
laundress in Little Windmill-street. Being encum-
bered w
bitlay two children, she could not get a main-
tenance laundry work, and then she joined that
numerous herd of foreini prostitutes who parade
Regent-street and adjacent streets. On the even-

On information being given to the police at Vine-
street, which is within a very short distance of the
place where e crime was committed, Inspec-

for Park and Superintendent Hannant proceeded
to the spot to endeavour to elucidate the mystery.
In examination of the room was at once com-
menced, and a question was asked whether the de-
ceased was known to have had any property. it
was elicited that though not in affluent eircum-
stances, the deceased was known to possess sonic)
