A HORRIBLE CRIME.
A Victim Of Popular Prejudice in France
The Danger of the Charge Of Prussinn.

A Victim Of Popular Prejudice in France
The Danger of the Charge Of Prussinn-
ism-A Young Man Roasted Alive.
From the Paris Correspondent Of the Tribune ]
have referred in previous letters to the
danger Of raising against any one whomso-
ever the cry of Prussianism. The village
of Hautefaye (DordOgne) has within the
last two days been the theatre of a crime Of
80 hideOus character as to remind one Of
the barbarities of the middle ages. With
out entering into the details OF the prelim-
mary incidents, it will suffice to state that
wealthy landed proprietor, the owner of
the chateau of Bretagnes, one Sieur de
Moneys fOrdieres, was burnt alive
by the populace, under the impress
sion that he had cried out "Vive la
Prusse" 1t appears that he did make use
Of these words, but only at the end Of a
reply he was addressing to a band of fellows
who had insulted him and his cousin by
pointing them out as fine gentlemen who
paid others to fight the Prussians for them"
n. de Moneys Indignantly denied the allega-
ton. and even declared that though rich he
did not intend to purchase substitute, but
would himself risk his life for the country.
He added: "Those who, at such a moment,
endeayOr to shirk the discharge of their
patriotic duties are towards, and make
common cause with all who shout 'Vive la
Prusse q" These last words alone were
heard by part of the band who had
provoked this retort. 1t was sufficient.
The young mamie was only twenty-nine
was Immediately set upon and fed. He
was pursued, recaptured, and beaten and
kicked, and then dragged to the dried up
bed of pond in the field where the fair is
usually held. The ferOcious ruffans next
got heap of faggots and put the already
half dead man upon it, and, having heaped
more over him, set the pile on fire. The
unfortunate young man, unable to move,
expired in awful agony. His father arrived
When the fire was extinguished the body
was mere >charred heap. The loyalty of
NJ. de Moneys was notorious, and no one
seems to be able to account for this savage
act. The judicial authorities are in search
Of the perpetrators Of the outrage.
