Bosroy, April 2S.-An unexpected fea-
ture of the hearing of suit for 5000 dam
ages, brought by a woman named Mary
Boutelle against the city CambriGSe, was
the testimony of a man who swore the
plaintiff was a convicted murderess and fu-
gitive from justice. This man was Francis
co Raposo, Cambridge barber, who de-
clared on the witness stand that the plain
tifi's real name was Maria da Luz Baptista,
and that six years ago she was convicted of
having caused the death by poisoning at
Ponta del Gado, an island of the Azores, of
her husband, Or. Augusta Da Baptista.
The couple lived in luxury up to 1850, Ra-
posa said, when the doctor suddenly died
and the wife was sentenced TO banishment
for life and imprisonment at St. Michael's,
on the west coast of Africa. Raposo was
on guard there at the time and was bribed
to aid the woman in her escape, Raposo es-
Gaping with her. They landed together in
this country and have lived ever since in
This evidence was adduced TO
show the plaintiffs bad record.

Gus consequences from his fathers illness.
BERLIN, April 23.-Mr. F. N. Crosby,
the Charge d Atfaires at the United States
Legation, says that the Minister had had

paralyzed, but he retains possession OF his
senses and speech. However, 1 do not
think that he can be moved for some time
It appears that Mr.. Pendleton was taken
i'll at the Naussauerhoff at Weisbaden. DR.
Franz Hoffman was summoned to attend
him, and pronounced the attack not ser
ious. Mr.. Pendleton either retained con-
sciousness and the power of speech, or
regained them speedily after the attack.
He is now in the hospital under the care of
DR.. Elenz. A telegram has been received

Pendleton, announcing that he is much
