The Shocking Details of n Paris Crime
Brought Out.
PARIS; March ga sensational trial,
bristling with truly Borgian enormities,
began today in tho Assize Court of the
Seine. An exotic individual named AIielle,
alias l'Homme Femme, alias Ia Crosse
Mana, tried to murder q well.to-do poultry
merchant named Lebon. The evidence
shows,that alielle and Lebon entered the
formers apartments, ct No. % Rue de
Lyon, and shortly afterward the concierge
heardthe voice OF a man crying "Help,
help!o "a l'assassin p aAu secoursl = A
body was heard falling with a heavy thud (;
then came sort of death rattle. The con.
cierge, terrified, exclaimed: "Mielle is
numbering somebody" andran to Mielle's
rooms. Mielle replied ut is nothing"
The concierge said: .1Ifitis nothing, then
open the door," This .Mielle refused TO
do. The concierge ran out and got police
man, 8uelle then opened the door oil his
apartment, and with apleasant smile said:
"My dear friend, have Just had q little
family quarrel. We are all liable to. such
quarrels, and mine is now happily
ended" The policeman was Satisfied and
retired. Soon atterward Nine. Miella en-.
tered the room, and seeing her husband
covered with blood, and his shirt torn to
shreds, asked, "You devil, what have you
been doing now?' AIielle said: "a
friend OF mine came TO see me, aud got
drunk and tried 10 Jump out Of the win
log.i Tapreyent a catastrophe had to
fight him. Hence the debris" Nfielle
then locked his wife into her bedroom
and was heard working with carpenters
tools for several hours. Mielle then dis
appeared. A long black trunk was also
removed from his rooms at the same time.
This happened last April. On May 8 q
sailor fshed out of the Seine, near the
statue OF Henri Quatre, the upper part OF
amati,at body, tle.Yertshral column bear
ing marks Of having been severed by q
Darpenterls saw. Next day another sailor
discovered near the same place mans
head. ,i-;i Hlls !
Ten days after q pair of thighs, then q
pair of feet and pair OF arms were found
floating in the Seine, all these sections
bearing the marks ot having been sepa-
rated by saw. These fragments Of q
corpse, when put together, enabled the
police to identify them as tho remains Of
Lehon, the poultry merchant. unow ap-
pears that Afielle, while his vile was
locked up in ber bedroom, had sawed the
body OF his victim into about twenty sec
lions and packed them into along black
trunk, which he threw into the Seine. On
June 29 Aiielle was discovered by the geu-
darrnes at Aayspr Aphe. He plunged Into
tlie river and swan across to the other
bank. The gendarmesdid the same, but
Alielle was a good swimmer, and distanced
his pursuers, but after an exciting two
mile chase oyerfences and ditsbss he was
finally captured. Lehon g watch, jewelry
and money were found in Alielle's pocket.
The trial brings to light details Of such Q
revolving and! repugnant nature that It Il
impossible to narrate them Tho trial ex-
cites the greatest interest, and will proba'
bly, last for three days.

TVr selection OF two cabinet officers
fnn the Presidents own State-which
does wellto get the Presidency again-will
hardly meet the approval Of the Demo:
cratic party. 1t cannot be well received
BY the Democracy Of the great group oil
middle Western States Of which the Pres
dent has had no thought in the making Of
bis cabinet.
The taking OF two cabinet officers from
one stateis not without precedent. 1twas
done by the early Presidents, for reasons
which have long since ceased to exist.
The later Presidents have looked as much
10 the geography as to the personnel Of
their cabinets. President Cleveland does
no. seem 10 have constructed his cabinet

four Of his advisers from the upper
