evidently chose a name whose initials

that of man who called mt the Hotel
Deux Mondes in Paris and left suddenly.
The Standards Madrid dispatch says that
when Pigo;t was arrested he took the mat
ter calmly and asked permission to retire to
an anta-room to obtain his cloak. A mo-
ment later the sound Of the pistol shot was
heard, and on entering the room the Off

very frequently violated is in the in.
