ANOTHER STORY OF THE KILLING.
LONDON, Feb. 6, A. M.-The Munich
correspondent of the Daily Ne,OS saws he
believes the following story of Crown Prince
Rudoph's death is the true one;
On Tuesday afternoon last, barone S,
whose name is not given, but who is de-
scribed as beautiful girl. not tall, rather
dark, and of a lively disposition, ar
rived at Meyerling aud took
up quarters in the game-keepel'S
house near the castle. Her presence was
known only to the gsme-kee or and his
WIFE At midnight, when Prince Rudolph
had dismissed his guests, he visited her.
a KNOCK AT THE DOOR
The crown prince had been about an hour
in the game-keeper's house when a forester,
equipped for mornings chase, going to
consult the game-keeper, Knocked
loudly upon the door. window
was opened and man jumped
out and fed. The forester fired at the fugi-
tive, who fell and tainted, having been shot
in the shoulder. He was recognized as the
crown prince, and the forester hastily sum
moned help and carried him into the game
keepers house. The baroness thinking that
Prince Rudolph was dead, quickly took
something from travelling bag, before
she was noticed, fell dead to the floor.
Prince Rudolph revived and was taken by
his own orders to the castle HIS valet
piled him with anxious questions, but
Prince Rudolph said emphatically; Il have
f lien, and my nose is bleeding. Go away;
l wish to be alone" Prince Rudolph then
locked the door and shot himself The baron
ess was buried Thursday in the Heilengen
Kreuzin convent, where the other memb Is
of her family are inferred. The Journal
Des Debdts of Paris has a similar story,
except that 1t says that Primes Rudolph
was mortally wounded by the forester and
died half an hour after being shot, and that
the gamekeeper went into the woods and
shot himself. The story of suicide, it says,
was invented to hide the truth.
