many-Ap AvnriciOus Lover Destroys his
The Court Of Gssiaess in Hainsu, in Hesse
Cassel, has Just been occupied with trial of
murder, which excited considerable interest
in the neighborhood The dead body OF a
young woman, frightfully mutilated by stabs
from 3 knife, was found in April of last year,
in lonely spot near the Rhine. Though
one of her stockings bore the name of Emilia
Lotheisen, it was some time before the police
could discover who she was, but at last they
ascerthined that such, was her real name,
that she was born in New York, of German
parents but that after her death she had ar
rived in Germany, bringing with her the
sum of 5000 thalers, (730O0f.J, which they
had left her. She lived In the village Of
AlsteTn, working as dressmaker.
As sheiSas extremely hvSricious, she was
accustomed to carry her little fortune, which
she had invested in railway shares and other
securities, constantly about with her; and as
these securities were not found on her corpse,
there was no doubt that she had been muir
dered for the sake of robbery. But who the
murderer was there was nothing to show.
In the month following the crime box ar
rived mt the railway station at Homburg,
addressed to a NJ. Nolte; but no person OF
that name was known in the place, and II
was not claimed. 1t remained there till
March last, when il was then opened, and II
was found to contain, among quantity OF
mans wearing apparel, some female gar
ments, bearing the name of Emilia Lothei-
sen. This naturally led to suspicion that
Nolte might be the murderer; but where he
was could not be discovered
Things continued in this state until the 9Th
of June last, when man, passing by the
name Of Zimmerman, was arrested at Man
helm, near ilanau, for having struck young
officer Of the army, with whom he had had Q
dispute about q game of billiards. His lodg.
| ings were visited and in them were found
some railway shares, and other securities
bearing the inscription "E, L. Alatean," the
initials of the murdered female, and the name
of the place in which she had lived. More

make, had been picked up, and in thinner.

At first he pretended to know nothing what
ever of Emilia Lotheisen; but at last con-
iessed that she had been his mistress, and
that he had murdered her in order to appro-
pirate her property.
He further admitted that his name was mo-
lZimmerman, but Nolte. The man turned
out to belong to respectable family, and i
was ascertained also that he had been at ON
| time ratherwealthy, and highly distinguished
rs an agriculturist; but he had ruined him

making costly machines. He had, it ap

at the time he murdered the woman, had th,

possessed upward of 30 000f year. During
