THE WOMAN DID 1T.
Eyraud, the French Murderer
Interviewed at Havana.
He Denies that He Committed
the Terrible Crime,
And Says Gouffe was Murdered
by His Mistress.

NEW YORK, June 3.-The Courier
teryiew with the murderer Eyraud. He
said, in part; Zone morning in speak
ing with Gabrielle, 1 told her 1 intended
going to Germany or some other country
to work. Gabrielle begged me to wait a
while. On the assurance that she had
something in view which she intended to
undertake, she made an appointment for
me for 6 o'clock in the evening and l was
at the rendezvous promptly. She handed
me the key leading to a secret door to her
house, telling me 10 return at 8 O'Clock. "
But she has declared that you killed
Gouffe." interposed the reporter.
Il never killed him." replied Eyraud.
when l lett the house at 8 O'Clock |
heard a great deal OF noise and laughter.
Bottles OF champagne were being opened.
Pretty soon Gabrielle came to look for
me. She gave me some keys and sent
me to find some papers belonging to
Gouffe. | could not find them and hear
ing a noise left Gouffe's house and re-
turned to Gabrielle. l looked everywhere
she told me but without success and could
not find the papers. Then Gabrielle,
raising her arm in the air, said to me;
Look | turned my eyes to where she
pointed and saw Gouffe suspended by the
neck with his tongue hanging out of his
mouth.
WHO strung him up there?' | asked,
Il will tell you later" replied Ga
brielle. In the meantime help me put
him in the trunk.
AT. .. -.z...l1z zul -
ued Eyraud, how difficult it IS to place a
dead body in a bag. We cut down the
body of Gauffe and tried in vain to place
him there. We then raised his body in
the air ana when it was suspended it was
much easier Tor us to put him in the bag.
1t was still a difficult operation to put the
sack in the trunk. Without letting 90
the cord we lowered the body Of Goufe
gradually until we got it in a horizontal
position above the trunk on sides of which
his legs and arms rested. L pushed him
into the trunk by pressing on him until
his BODY touched the bottom of the trunk,
but his head and legs remained outside.
Then Gabrille proposed TO cut the head
off in order to close the trunk. | coz
tinued in my effort and by extra force
succeeded in pushing the head inside.
We locked the trunk and Gabrielle told
me she would take care of it. We placed
it near his bed aud 1 returned to the
house to Sleep"
And did you sleep?" asked the re-
porter.
"Soundly," was Eyraud's reply. Il
was very much tired by the work | had
done. | then returned to Gabrielle s
houss and we took a railroad ticket for a
station near Lyons. We carried the
trunk to a neighborhood where Gabrielle
was well acquainted and left it there. We
then took an extra ticket for Marseilles.
In the latter town we purloined 1000
francs, of which 1000 belonged to an
Englishman who admired Gabrielle.
Then we returned to Paris. In regard to
Gonffe there was some prospect OF getting
5000 francs out of him, but there was a
hitch"
And what about this accomplice to
whom Gabrielle refers in Paris2" asked
the reporter.
About that l cannot talk at present.
| will tell the prosecutor on my arrival in
France"

WASHINGTON, June 3.-When the
announcement was made that Capt.
Alonzo Z. Miltmore, of the quartermaster's
department, United States army. was to be
tired by court martial at Tuscon, Ariz. =.
on charges of fraud against the govern
ment, it was intimated hat he was in
volved in questionable transactions when
stationed in St. Louis several years ago,
and that although he could not now be
punished there we're others involved who
might be reached by the civil courts. The
treasury department looked into the mat
ter and as a result proceedings have been
instituted at St. Louis against the U.
Hartley Cantwell company OF that city to
recover $50, 900 alleged to have been
iraudulently obtained from the govern
ment with the aid OF MIltmore. 1t is
thought that the firm presented vouchers
for supplies never delivered which Milt-
more had paid by the government. The
spoils thus obtained, it is charged. were
divided between the two.

cial says: Quite a sensation was caused
in republican circles today by the an
nouncement that at the recent conference
of Wisconsin republicans at Chicago
Governor Hoard offered to retire at the
end of This present term if the party lead
ers deemed his candidacy Tor a secoud
term inimical to success on account of his
strong advocacy of the Bennett law.
The governor had prepared a letter OF
withdrawal. but alter calm de%liberation the
participants in the conference decided that
the interests of the republican party de-
manded that Gov. Hoard should stand
for reelection The party will therefore
renominate HIM and place him on a plat
form which will declare in favor OF the
removal of the obnoxious district proyIs-
ion in the Bennett law.

An Experiment in wheat.

The Laramie Mill company has made ar
Engagements with the Land company by
which they are to have, free, the use OF
anywhere from LOCO to 10000 acres of
good land under the ditch, aud free water
to irrigate it, to try wheat culture on a
large scale next year. The Mill company
will break up the ground this summer and
put it into wheat early in the spring.

Vital statistics of Norway, recently
published, show an expectation of life in
that country that can hardly be paral-
leled in any other country. The mean
duration of life is 49, 80 years for males
and 81. 80 years for females. In England
the mean duration of life is 41.35 years
for males and 44.62 years for females.
In other words, a Norwegian at his birth
may reasonably expect to live seven
years longer than an Englishman.

not been misplaced. His record as
governor lies before the people as an

of this state for reelection with a
clearer record than Governor Mer-
riam.
