The WIpow AND HER TWO LOVERS.
A .ery e--.-aordInary event lately happen
ed at San Felipe de Jativa, City In Tire
kingdom of Valencia.
A widow named donna Feliciana Bel
monte, still young and tickle, was courted
by don Carlos de Malagada, and don
Francisco Ruiz the first was formerly
captain of the cavalry, and the second,
lieutenant ofthe artillery, under the con-
stitutional administration, and both of them
were on halfpay.
The 18th of Sept. 1926, these officers
happened to meet in the company of dom
ma Feliciana, who wishing to conceal her
embarrassment, tried to affect the utmost
indifference for the two rivals; but don
Carlos having approached her, to speak
few words with low voice, don Francis
CO, appeared discontinued, and threats
soon succeeded to indirect words. A duel
was the result of this soiree.
The next day, the day appointed for
their meeting, which took place without
the city, don Carlos said to his adversary,
II am going to fight with you, since the
laws of honour demand it; but see clear
y that we are both of us the dupes of
woman unworthy of our love. l desire
that the seconds approach and hear an
cath, which perhaps may lengthen my
Gays. swear that, if l kill you, donna
Feliciana shall perish by my hand, and by
the same instrument which has taken your
life" Hurried,on by the example of don
| Carlos, don Francisco took the same oath.
Tie witnesses wished to reconcile them,
but their efforts were entirely useless; the
combat took place and don Fran e;seo svsss
killed by don Carlos, who Immediately
fled +; for, according to the of law Spain
duellist' are punished with death.
Near y year passed, without hearing
any thing Of don Carlos but the 10th of
September, 1927, the anniversary of the
duel, tie young Spaniard, too faithful to
his oath, appeared in the house of donna
Felic;ans, and pierced her to the heart
with his WORD; she died, almost at the
instant. Don Carlos, with the greatest
sang froid, then called the domesticks,
who were not slow to cry murder. The
police came quickly; don Carlos, without
resistance, submitted to their authority and
was conducted to prison.
The corlegidor was not contented with
this confession: he called the witnesses of
the duel who at first said that they should
tell nothing; but the corregidor threaten
ing to imprison them, they confessed the
whole. Their statement conceded exact
ly with that Of don Carlos.
The corregidor of San Felipe de Jati-
va, with the consent of his recorder, con-
demned don Carlos de Malagamba to
suffer death but as he was noble, it was
to be by the garrote. The counsel of the
condemned demanded reprieve, but was
not able to obtain one and the sentence
was confirmed by the royal audience of
Valence, and by the captain-general of the
province. He was executed at San Fee
lippe de Jatiya, the 25th of last Novem-
Der.
