PeI. The MontreuiI Prisoner.

From Paris Dispatch to the London Daily TeIe-
 graph
 Paris is at present stirred to it's depths by the revelations made respecting the career of Pel, the prisoner of Montreuil. PeI is now at Mazas, on charge of having made away with his bonne, woman named Marie Boeh- mer. He is also charged with having poison ed his first wife. M. Kuehn, the chief of the investigation department, is busily engaged at Montreuil in following up any clues which may bring the murder of the bonne home to the accused. Two boxes which belonged to the missing woman were found to contain 8 napkin which bore the imprint of a blood stained knife. A large dinner knife has come to light, supposed to be the instrument with which Pel cut the flesh off the bones of his victim before burning it by some of the chemical processes in which he is an adept It is thought that the victims remains were placed in the closet, as Pel had been observed to make frequent visits there on three suc- cessive days in July last. This is somewhat borne out by the fact that when the cess pools were drained to-day portions of human intestines were found. Pel is clock-maker by trade, and was married in 1880 to young woman named Buffereau, employed in shop near the Champs Elysees. Two months after the marriage Pel's wife died of intense agony. She was hastily buried in the Mont martre cemetery, but her remains are about to be exhumed by order of the Procureur of theRepubGc. A year afterward PeI married Mile. de Murat, who is still alive. Pel denied that he had been married to his first wife, but M. Kuehn confronted him with his bro ther-in-law, and he then admitted the mar riage. M Kuehn, it may be remarked, has made minute examination with micro scope of Pels house at Montreuil and in the interstices of the floor has found living or ganisms such as exist only in putrefying blood When Pel arrived at Montreuil from Nanterre, when he ran away from his second wife and his creditors in July last, he was accompanied by the servant Marie Boehmer, who, it was said, was formerly lay sister in the convent and afterward milkseller in the Rue St. Denis. She intrusted large share of her savings to the care of Pel, and about three months ago suddenly disappeared. Pel in answer her to the hospital. The neighbors, however, assert that one night, about the time of Boeh- mer's disappearance, great fire was visible in Pel's house, and that the air around was infected by an offensive odor. In an adjacent sewer some human hair has lately been dis covered, and it is in this direction as well as in the closet, that M. Kuehn made his prin- cipal investigations to-day Pel will proba- ply be brought face to face with his second wife tomorrow. It is not long since the mother of the alleged poisoner was killed by an electric battery, made by her son. PeI is in very Respondent condition at Mazas, and has not partaken of much food during the past two days. A mouton, or associate, has been placed with him, as it was feared that he was about to commit suicide, and possibly the accused elockmaker may make some statements to this person.
