SENSATIONAL MURDER CASE
MICHAEL EYRAUD ARRAiGNED
FOR TRIAL IN PARIS.

Evidently Determined to Inculpate Ca
brielle de Bompard-Ihe Excitement I'm
the Parnen Fight Causes a Serious Con-
hIct-Foreign News.
PARIS, Dec. 16.-The trial Of Michael
Eyraud for the murder OF Pouissaint Gouhe
began to-day. Eyraud, being examined by
the president Of the court, tried 20 inculpate
Gabrielle de Bompard, his accom-
plice, by asserting that she planned
the murder, and induced him TO
join her in the preparation Of
il. Evidently ne gave himself up
for lost, and had determined that she should
not escape. lie said that she bad hired the
apartment and set the trap, and that when
she had enticed GOuiie into her room
she had taken off her girdle dur
ing the endearments which G0utie was
lavishing on her, threw 1t playfuly round
his neck. and passed the ends to him. telling
him to pull 1t tight. He also said that Ga
brielle was common cOurtesan. and that
he (Eyraud) had not meant TO Kill Gouife,
but only TO sequestrate him for ransom.
Gabrielle, when examined, fatty contra
dicted Eyraud's statements. She said that
she had met Eyraud when she was em-
ployed in the business Of which he was
partner. and that poverty forced her TO as
sOciate with him. She asserted also that
she could not leave him, Notwithstanding
his brutal usage of her on account OF the
mysterious influence he possessed over her
mind, thus giving clue to the proposed
line OF defense that her lawyers have map
ped out
When asked by the presiding judge how
she came 10 buyethe box and sack in
which Gou1e's corpse was shut up, she said
Eyraud ordered her to do SO, and she could
not resist.
GABRIELLE CROss.EXAMINED.
At this point Eyraud WAS brought back
into court and forced TO listen TO the cress-
examination of Gabrielle. She persisted in
layin. all the guilt on Eyraud, stating that
she acted entirely by his orders and under
his influence, and that he had forced her to
receive men, and had lived upon
the profits Of her prostitution. Eyraud, on
the contrary, said that Gabrielle was
common girl and had acknowledged that he
was her savior, and used that argument to
induce him 10 consent 10 aid her IN killing
GOutie, so that they might take his money
TO paw Eyraud's debts and 10 live upon II
together. GabriellS looked very pretty and
innocent when brought into court. and gave
her evidence very plainly and quietly.
HYPNOTIC INFLUENCE.
II is not known yet whether the court
Will permit the hypnotic exhibition upon
which her counsel relies tor her defense
Eyraud will certainly be sentenced to the
guillotine.
