The Paris correspondent Of the
London Daily Telegraph says:
A very curious story is going the
round Of the papers to-day. -Four
years ago a tailor married a daughter
OF an artillery colonel, and lived hap
PLY with her for a twelvemonth, at the
end Of which period he went for a few
days to Belgium on business. On his
return the wife was nowhere to be
found, but a month later the tailor and
his friends recognized her, as they
imagined, in the corpse of a young
woman who had been picked up at
Auteuil. Unable longer to continue
in Paris, the tailor went to New York,
where two years afterward he married
again. In the month of January the
new couple came to Paris and rented
an apartment in the Avenue Fried
land. Last Wednesday, as the tailor
was walking in the Champs Elysees,
he saw a lady who looked ma~rvelOusly
like his first wife, driving in a hand
some equipage, and, hiring a cab, he
followed her to a hotel in the Avenue
D'Eylar. There an explanation took
place. 1t was, indeed, his first wife
who declared that she had been kid,
mapped and kept in ignoble seclusio1
for some three months by a mar whose
name she had never been able to aseer.
tain. When free she had learned t
her sorrow that her husband had gone
to America, and, not daring to return
to her relatives, she. had entered Q
dress-maker's establishment, and SC
on. Inquiries are now being set oil
foot in order to discover, if possible
who the kidnapper was.
