-ad sent her out to watch his daughter.
She became very angry, and threatened
that NJ: Staniroy would haye me logged il
l mterfered with her. This frightened me,
and ! ran back into the house"
The French maid in her testimony made
some starting disclosures. She answered
The questions OF the examining officer at
Inst with seeming reluctance, and did not
become amore willing witness until she had
been threatened with severe punishment.
Then she said, with "a very glib tongue:
We'll, as / cannot help 1t, I will tell all
L know, although | am vcr.' sorry for Mile.
Aida N. Staniroy asked me last night t.
watch the garden house. as / had often lone
before at his request. About 8 O'clock I
saw the Count enter the garden-house.
where he was shortly after joined by Mile.
Aida i could hear distinctly what they
said. Mile. Aida called him a perfdious
villain, and said that she had thought of
numbering him. He begged her to calm
herself, but she seemed to work herself in
to n perfect frenzy and then I heard him

Things began 70 look very black for
Aida Staniroy. Her father broke into
loud lamentations. She herself remained
calm.
II did not know" she said, with . dis
dainful glance Mt her French maid, i" that
Marie Verin was acting the spy toward me.
But ! must say that all she said about my
interview with Count Adolph Is true, except
that the Count did not use the words
How could yon do thisr' All I can do
is to r~eiterate the protestation Of nv per.
feet innocence OF this foul murder, no mat
ter how suspicious everything may look for
me.
All this was very sad but what were the
officers TO do but to take the young lady to
jail on a charge OF murder? Aida accom-
panied them willingly. Her fortitude ex-
cited the surprise and admiration ever of
her inilcrs. IL
The affair created naturally the most
profound sensation In the ancient canitoi
Of the czars. For a week no one smoke
about anything else. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS the
seemingly overwhelming circumstantiaI
evidence against Aida Stanirov. OPINION
was greatly divided ON the subject. and
