haup.s, The same twofold mystery confouud-
cd tue public miud--tfle mystery of the hoto
and the protounder mystery Of the trAy. Here,
aguin, no ntoru of property was taken. though
bntl! tie nl'sers had hordes Of ducats aud Eng
lish cuineus in the yery room where they died.
Their bias. again, though Of an unpopular char
actcr, had rather ayailed to make them un-
known than to make them hateful. In one point
this case differed memorably from the other
that, instead Of falling helpless, Or flying VIC
,iu,s ,as the Weishuupts bud done, these old
men, strong. resolutc, and not SO much taken by
surprise, left proofs that they had made des-
perate defence. The furniture was partly
smashed to pieces, and the other details furnish
cd evidence still more revolving Of the arhdTnf-
zne,t with which the struggle had been maan1ain-
been impracticable, as they admitted nobody m
to their house on visiting terms. It was thought
singular that from each Of these domestic trag-
cdrs q beurGt Of the same sort should result to
young persons standing in nearly the same re'a-
tion. 1'he girl who gave the alarm At the ball,
CIV, their cousin. divided the very large inheri-
tance If the Wcishaupts; and in this latter case
the accumulated savings Of two long AEes all
vested in the person Of the amiablc grand
niece.
lsul now, as il in mockery of all our anxious
cnnsuttntiDns and elaborate devices, threc lle>h
murders took place on the two consecutive
nights succeeding these new arrangements.
And in one case as nearly rs time could be
noted, the mounted patrol must have been

much upon them; but Il few circumstances are
too interesting to be passed over. The earliest
case on the first Of the two nights was that Of
currier lie was fifty years old: not rich, out
well off, His first wife was dead. and his
daughters BY her were marrled away IRON thelr
fathers house He had married sec ond wife,
but, larng no children by her, and Keeping no
servants. ik probable that, but for an accident,
no third person would have been IN the house
