Tragic Love Meeting.

The Paris correspondence OF the Mon
treal Herald has the following: The de-
nonement Of singular little drama OF
real life has Just reached MS from Berlin.
# seems that six years ago a notary
named Carl S go, suddenly disappeared.
For two months the police were engaged
in searching for his supposed assassin
but without effect, and the investlga-
tions were about to cease, when the Juuge
OF the district received, one evening" a
letter TO the following effect
"HEKR JUDGE: have been assassinat-
ed by my debtor, Jean R. who, amer
,ob6ing me of the profits VI the debt,
nuried me at the loot OF the north wall oi
the park of Count Won M, at S
"ISiopedl KARI s., Notary"
The Judge, on the receipt ofthisstrange
letter. caused a search to be made on the
spot indicated ; the corpse was found'
the assassin seized, tried and executed,
after making a full confession OF his
crime. For six years all endeavols TO ex-
plain the mystery OF the letter nave re-
inained without result.
A week ago a gentleman OF good stand
ing at Berlin was married to rich ana
beautiful young widow, the daughter OF
tbe MARQUIS. On the day following his
wedding. the bridegroom presented HIM
self at the police Office, and made dec
faration to the following effect:
six years ago was deeply in love
with nv present wife, who returned my
passion. Twas poor, and her father, not
withstanding our mutual attachment,
refused TO consent to our marriage, and
rave his daughters hand to the Marquis
de l.. The evening before the cele-
bration of this marriage, obtained from
her promise to meet me, near the park
vail for a last adieu. A little before
midnight / scaled the walls, and found
the Young lady waiting for me, accom-
nonied Dy a trusty attendant. Our tears
md protestations were suddenly inter
rupted by piercing cry. The young
lady fed, with the servant TO the houses
climbed up to the top of the wall, and
was Just going to drop myself down on
the other side, when, by the light OF the
moon, saw man kneeling on corpse
and rifing the pockets OF his victim -
Nv first impulse was to spring on the as
sassin, but I reflected that, If succeed
ed in securing him, must explain my
own presence in the park at that hour
and in doing so must compromise the
Young lady. I, therefore, remained mo,
tionless, and saw the assassin, whom
recognized perfectly, bury the body OF
his victim at the foot of the wall on
which was crouching. The next day
although the father was missing, MS
daughter became the Marquis de l.
Married to violent and jealous man
her position made it yet more incumbent
on me to remain silent; but, in order that
she murder might not pass unknown
and unavenged, bethought me of writ
ing the letter which led to the arrest anC
confession of the murderer For 81,
years kept silent on the subject of what
/ had seen. The death of the Marquis
de l. having left Mademoisell wild
ow, married her yesterday. As she is
now my wife, and I have, therefore, the
right to defend her against all suspicious
have presented. myself in order to ex
plain the agency by which the letter wa!
sent to the Judge in the name of th'
murdered man.
