Attempted Murder by Poet, mt Stockholm
From the Paris journal des Debatsl
Great sensation was caused about fortnight ago,
at Stockholm, by the sudden disappearance Of M.
Almqust, a celebrated poet and writer, doctor
in theology and law, chaplain to militia regiment,
and principal editor of the AftenJiada, an evening
paper. A day or two after, the whole city was
plunged into stupor by the publication Of placard
by the judicial authorities, directing all people to
appreheud the said Almquist, on the ground that
he had been guilty of swindlirg, robbery, forgery,
and three attempts at poisoning. On inquiry, II
was ascertained that Almquist had, some time be-
fore, stolen bank notes aud bills to the amount Of
$1,000 rix dollars 10000 francs) from M. de Sche
wen, money lender, with whom he had long been
on intimate terms. M. de Schewen had subsequently
received two anonymous letters, insnuating that
the robbery had been committed by his niece, girl
of seventeen. A few days after this, M. Almquist
got M. do Schewen to discount some bills, bat it
turned out that they were forged. On three later
occasions, M. de Schewen, after breakfasting with
Almquist, was seized with vomitings, and he ex-
hibited all the usual symptoms Of having been
poisoned. After all these things had been brought
to light, Almquist had escaped into England The
him, stating that he had gone without q passport,
in order to dispose Of some pressing business; but
that all the runors spread against him were false.
lie added, that de Schewen had intended to commit
suicide, because his mistress unfaithfu to hun,
and that the proof Of this was, that packet Of
arsenic would be found on particular shelf Of his
bookcase. The poison was found in the place indi-
Gated, but M. de Schewen did not know that it was
there. Amongst the papers Of Almquist was found
a plan Of conduct to be followed by him after the
death Of de Schewen, which proved that he had re-
solved to make an attempt upon his life. 1t Was
also learned that he had purchased some poisons.
