THE MURDERER OF CHENALIER DE BAN
co IN BRUssELs-ARREsT OF HIS SUP
POSED MURDERER IN THIS CITY.
Found weltering in his blood in one of
the finest mansions in the city of Brus-
sells, Belgium. The death of Chevalier
Dubois de BiancO, a nobleman Of high
lineage and patrimony was a sad one.
His house had been entered by burglars
on the morning OF the ID of October last
and he waking up and finding the thieves
in his room was stabbed to the heart on
offering resistance. The thieves, after
securing their bOOty-a quantity of rail-
way. mining and coal stocks, valued at
nearly $50, 000-set fire to the house.
When the body of Chevalier de Bianco
was discovered by the Brussels police it
was partially consumed by the flames.
The acute eyes Of the officers of the law
however, saw that q brutal murder, ac-
companied by robbery, had been COM
mitted, and every eXertiOn was used to
secure the arrest of the murderers. They
failed, however, and it seemed as if the
crime, like the Burdell, Rogers, and ma
ny other terrible murders committed in
this country, was to remain a mystery.
One of the attaches of the police bu-
reau in Brussels, however. who was on
duty in the Bourse, learned that a min
ing bond numbered 1905, Of the Caisse
Commercial Society-Delfosse. Teber-
CHEN & CO.,-had been offered for sale
by tall, we'll formed man. in a brokers'
house a few days after themurder of the
Chevalier de Bianco. From thence the
bond was then traced to London, where
it had been sent by Messrs. Duncan Sher-
man & Co. The Belgian officials at once
notified Superintendent KelsO, of this
city, who detailed Defective Farley TO
arrest the man who sold the bond. At
ter a great deal of search and inycstiga-
ton Farley learned that the bond had
passed into the banking house of Duncan.

Detective Farley that the bond had been
lost at play in his house by a tall Ger
man who lived at the Prescott House.
From the description given by Mr.. Miles
Detective Farley proceeded to the Pres
colt House, and there found that the
man he was in search of had gone to

phia. Farley succeeded in tracking and
arresting his man, who proves to ne a
well educated German named Carl Wort.

morning. He admitted having lost the
