MADRID, March Am Englishman,
registered at a hotel in this city as
Ronald Ponsonby," was placed under
arrest and committed suicide before the
police could enter his room. He is sup.
posed 10 have bcen Richard Pigott, the
absconding Irish perjurer and inforner.
LONDON. March 1.-The Standard
Madrid dispatch says that when Pigott
was arrested he took the matter calmly
and asked permission to retire to the
ante-room to obtain his cloak. A mo
ment later the sound of a pistol was
heard. and on entering the room the
officer found Pigott dead. He had shot
himself in the mouth, dying instantly.
LONDON, March 2.-There seems to be
no doubt that Ronald P~onsonby," who
committed suicide in a hotel at Madrid,
wac Pigott. In assuming an alias he
evidently chose a name whose initials
would correspond with those on his
luggage. No papers were found upon
his person, but his description is iden-
tical with that of a mar who called at
the Hotel Deaux Mondes in Paris and
left suddenly.
Latest news from Madrid states that
there is now no longer any doubt of the
identity of the prisoner who committed
suicide on being arrested at the Hotel
Empassadores. Official confirmation
has been received of the fact that the
arrested man was Richard Pigott. The
seizure was effected by the Spanish au.
thorities at the request of the English
embassy, who had received telegraphic
instructions from the foreign
office. The head of the wretched man
has leen horribly disfigured by the shot
and tile doctor says that death must
have been instantaneous. Suspicion was
first attached to his movements by the
interpreter of the hotel, who noticed
that he appeared restless and very
uneasy about receiving news from his
friends, after sending off q telegram,
