TWAS LOVE AT SIGHT.
Brirdy summarized, and as told in the
vonng sir!'s letters, the story is that
Baroness Marie vetzera, then seventeen
wears old, fcifin love at first sight with
tse Crown Prince and sho frequently
nct him in the ordinary social way.
Finally she fntrasted her secret 10
Countess LariBch, the Empress of
Ariras niece, and this lady at once
undertook to act as u go.between, while
taking advantage Of her knowledge Of
thg safe Of affairs to levy biackmail
ifom the Prince.
Atone time the mother Of tho girl
suspected something was amiss, but
Countess Tarisch was ready with some
plausible tale. The facts Of all this are
aypn IN great detail in the mothers
pamphlet.
AtMs. the girl fled to Maycrland, by
Encouragement with the Prince, and u
lew hours later her death was known
by the Emperor, but not by the dis
iilcirl mother, who in vain implored
tie Chici Of Police aud Count T'aafe, the
An,iian Premier, TO cause q search to
lie iatituted Tor her daughter.
MURDER AND SUICIDE.
Tie truth OF the double suicide, or
murder aud suicide, is at last definitely
established by this publication. The
news OF the death was broken to the
mother by the Empress OF Austria her
sIi. The pamphlet shows that the
Princes mind had long before been
glyea 10 thoughts OF suicide, but Marie
Ill. her best to disSuade him from this
fatal step. It wna not until hope for
both Of them had lied and she resolved
10 share his death that this tragedy was
agreed upon.
For the first time Is revealed the in
eighties offered to Marie's dead body.
She was car;ed away in Ii sitting posture
between her two uncles, even a coffin
Icing denied her relatives when moving
her. The pamphlet shows how the
G.-is mother was prosecuted and
yi!,le'l aud how everything was done
10 aythe blame on the girl. II forms
. lIarowingst0ry, as told by the mother.
The alleged ialsChoods circulated about
he! are exposed and the daughters
Dying messages are given.
TIE GIRLS LAST LETTERS.
The following are the words used by
Marie when she wrote her last adieu to
her mother and sister and brother, a
lew minutes before the tragedy took
place, and which were sent to the Baro-
he's by the Emperor:
DEAR MorIER-FOrgive INC for what
anl abou. 10 do. | could not resist
Ny love. My last wish is his-that |

'Niht. Your MAIZE,
Such wore the words in which She
'So"e4 her love 20 her mothor. Tohcr
