New YoRK, February ia special
from Henry Labouchere, Of London
says We have not got to the bottom OF
The MeyestiDg tragedy. lido not believe in
the authenticity of the letters which
have appeared in the papers az coming
from Archduke Rudolph and Baroness
Marie Nescera, stating their intention 10
live no longer. These letters seem 10 me
10 be of piece with all the stories told
by the orders of the Emperor between
the occurrence Of the tragedy and
the funeral Of Prince Rudolph. Be
fore there was time 70 concoct a good
circumstantial account that would hold
well together the official people blurted
out that Crown Prince Rudolph had

direction, and that the c0ronal part Of
the skull had been carried of Ly the
bullet as IL went out Of the head. 10th

Nescera. We might fancy that II was
she who discharged the pistol if she had
not been shot in the back. Both were
found dead in the same couch and
there were flowers scattered on the body
Of Marie. Does not this point 10 a

placing the muzzle of the pistol close to
Rudolph's head and firing up at Il.
Marie would doubtless, on hearing the
shot have sought 10 escape, when she
was knocked over by a pistol shot in the
back. There were mutations also Of

told, calls for justice II Is withheld to
prevent q worse scandal than that which
has been stirring the world for the last
fortnight. The letters announcing
suicidal intent have, as it was pointed out
to me, been oyerdone. Why, of all per-
sons in the world, should Crown Prince
Rudolph have written on this subject 10
the Duke of Braganza, with whom he
was but slightly acquainted, and who
lives at Lisbon like a bourgeoisy If the
Duke OF Braganza had lived only with
