THE STORY OF A CRIME.

The well-knewn opera of FRA Diavalo"
is based on tragical events which occurred
in France nearly one hundred and seven
ty years ago. The facts are thus con-
Paris paper:
At the beginning of the last century
there was seen in the town of Lille a
very quiet house. 1t was large build
ing, but it contained only small family
IA husband and wife and one servant.
The married couple were advanced in
years, lived quietly on their income,
saw few visitors, and admitted none to
the house, except the people who furn-
ished them with provisions, or otherwise
administered to their wants. One night
this couple, man and wife, were both
robbed and murdered in their bed.
The servant girl had heard nothing Of
all this and knew nor what was going
on. The night was hot, the air dense
and oppressively sultry, SO much SO that
she had taken refuge in her room, and,
for the sake of GOODNESS, Invested herself
of her q garments before large mirror.
While there. catching sight Of herself,
she suddenly cried:
GLOW hateful one looks when undress-
ed?"
Having said this, she retired aud slept
,,l ua,ral wit han
suspecting What had happened.
She prepared breakfast as usual for
her master aud mistress, but they did
not come down. She was amazed and
waited for some time.
They did not appear.
Tired of waiting. she sought their
Blood was smeared everywhere, and on
the bed lay the poor old couple. cruelty,
horribly, vilely butchered - manag led
only as Il beast or TEND could find it in
his heart to Inuti,ate victims after muir
dering them.
The girl raised an alarm. and the null
titude came rushing in.
OF course justice came rushing after
in the shape of the police, with a judi
cial investigation. The criminal was
sought for, and as none other could be
found, suspicion fell on the unfortunate
servant.
In those days they had horrible way
of trying to get the truth. They called
it questioning. The questions were put
with racks and thumb-screws.
The Lillois seIvant.maid was infa-
mously tortured, even to extreme as ony.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1884-02-23
Yet, Notwithstanding her weakness and
her rex. she endured the Internal tor.

Yet, notwithstanding her weakness and
her sex, she endured the internal tor
ture without confessing.
This was most remarkable, as she was
entirely innocent and was in consequence
kept much longer under the torment to
make her confess. AS there were no
proofs of her having done anything they
finally let her 60 as soon as she was heal
ed. Unfortunately the torture had made
her a wretched cripple. She could only
heoble along, and her arms were terribly
withered.
And icing no longer able to sew or
work, she dragged her helpless ioln
through the streets of Lille for siAtet -
years. This is historically true-nay,
more than historically, for history often
lies, while these accounts are drawn
from the dry and accurate records OF a
court. The worst part of her sufferines
was that many people believed her
guilty and stunned her accordingly.
! 1t appears from the record that during
these long years, while she went about
with her withered arms and bent back,
her whele frame suffering from the tor
ture. begging sou to buy her bread.
that she was always resigned, mild and
exemplary in her conduct.
One day, after sixteen years of misery,
she stopped at the door of baker. She
held out through her rags her naked and
mutilated arm toward the baker, who
stood at his doorsill As she did SO, he
exclaimed. in mocking tone, while OBJ
serving her garments:
well, Marie Anne, how hateful one
looks when undressed-ha! ha"
Now, it is remarkable that in all the
sixteen years which had passed, Marie
Anne had not forgotten those words
which she had spoken when alone on the
night of the murder. 1t flashed upon
her mind that the real murderer might
have heard them, and that he stood be-
fore her. In brief, the .ourneyman
baker when arrested, confessed the
truth. He had regularly supplied the
, old couple, and knew the ways of the
house. He was hidden there on the night
of the murder, and heard the girl when
she made the remark on nakedness. And
as the criminal is often, by the will of
Providence, his own accuser, SO this man
following one of those eccentric and
dangerous impulses, which man often
experiences, to say the most dangerous
things, had uttered to the girl the words
Of that fatal night. He was convicted
of the crime for which Marie Anne had
been tortured and suffered living
death.
