A man and his wife were recently, executed at
Angslinrgh for a murder, the discovery of which,
after a long lapse of time, strongly manlfeets the
impossibility of eluding the all-seeing rye of
Providence. The criminal, whose name was
Wincze, was originally of Nurenburg, hut removed
tiO Augsburg in 1788, where he followed the
law. In this city 'ho became intimate in the
family of M. Gtegie, to whose daughter It*
paid his addresses ; but the old man not sant-
tinning his visits, he met the daughter privately,
seduced her; and persuaded her, in toilet to

minister poison to her rillier:"Theborrid plassaa'-
culled, no suspicions were entertained, and their

wealth. During a period of twenty-one years
they' lived externally happy, bnt, iu secret, a
prey to the greatest remorse. At length, unable
to endure any longer the weight of guilt, the 11.
made confession of the particulars of the atrocio"
crime she had been prevailed on to commit; the
haisband was apprehended, and both expiated,
their guilt by an ignominious death.
