The trial of Louis Grothe, Marie Fischer, the
widow Of Quinche, and the carter Rosskamm, has
just been concluded. The first three were
charged with the murder Of Pr'ass2r Nicholas
Gregy, a native Of Nancy, o-cd frty-threc,
teacher of the French language; the latter with
having concealed articles which he knew to have
been stolen. Rosskamm was acquitted. On the
10Th Of April, 1854 was found IN that part of the
Spree which is called the OOerbaum sack con-
taining corpse, soon recognized As that Of Pro-
fessor GrCgy. 1t was frighttully mutilaLed. The
head alone had no less than twelve wounds. Five
of these were stabs; seven had been made by
some chOpping instrument and ran parallel; and
these had been inflicted after the stabs. The skull
was broken, the brains had run out, one OF the
eyes was cut through, aud the cheek entirely
shattered. For fortnight all cIdCavors 70 find
out the perpetrators of the deed proved vain. Az
length, on the % of May, tailor named Bonze
living at 20 Oranien Platz, gave notice that on the
l7th of April (the day Gregy was first mssed) he
had heard loud voices in the cellar Immediately
under his lodging. The police hurried to the spot
After close examination traces of blood and
human brains were found on the walls, bedstead,
and floor. There could be no dUubttha some per-
son had here met his end there was little doubt

of this cellar were the very scum Uf society. Tue
widCw QuinChe is known to have been punished
for various Ohensgs. In her younger days She
had been a regular prostitute, and even now, as
the Old sinner half smilingly informed the Court
she was not aVerfe to receiving visits from gem
temen. Marie Fischer is young woman Of
twenty-five years, earning the wages of shame
and Louis GTOthc [sOn of the W low Quiuche by
a former husband, or rather lOvCr) lost chIrac-
ter, living on those gains. His younger brother,
Hermann GrOthe, WAS called before the Cour.
only as a witness. For this poor lad one can
only feel the greatest pity. Tho question natu-
rally arises, How did Professor Gregy COmc
into this company What induced the we'll
educated man, the polished gentleman, for such
undoubtedly he was, who durus his whole life
had enjoyed an irrCprOachabl" reputation, who
possessed connections and friends in the highest

reputation by seeking persons. With whom the
