A Sensational Murder in Paris.

PARIS, May 23.-This city has been
startled by murder that In many
ways resembles the Deacon affair, save
that in tie present case the shooting
was done by woman.
The wife of a we'll known man has for
some time past suspected that her hus-
band has been carrying ona liason with
the wife OF an official high In the gov
ernment. She kept watch on her hus-
band aud the suspicion OF the latter's
unfaithfulness became a certainty. She
made vain attempts TO catch the couple
together until Saturday night. That
evening her husband told her he was
going out on business and would not be
home until late. As soon as her bus-
band left the house she hastily threw
on her wraps and followed him. He en-
tered house in the Quartlere L'Europ.
His valet remained outside for some
time and then entered. She discovered
the apartments her husband had enter
ed.
The door OF the room was locked, but
the infuriated wife threw herself against
it and forced IL open. Inside were her
husband and the wife OF the governments
official. The evidence was complete.
The wronged wife had revolver In the
pocket OF the dress. Drawing the
weapon she advanced upon the woman,
who had crouched in abject fear In a
corner OF the room, and, deliberately
aiming at her, fired. The bullet struck
home, and the wounded woman begged
pIteously TO be spared. But she APP
peaed in vain. Again and again did
the revolver flash until five bullets had
taken effect During the shooting the
husband, it is said, stepped forward to
disarm his wife, but she turned on him
and threatened to kill him II he ad-
vanced another foot.
After the cartridges in the revolver
were exhausted, the wife calmly
awaited the coming OF the police who
had been summoned and then quietly
signifed her desire to be taken away
from the place. The wounded woman
died in few hours.
AS vet every effort TO ascertain the
names Of the principals have been frus-
trated. The newspapers, however, al
lude TO the dead woman as Nine. l..
The name OF the murderess is Madame
hsy nOUu duu VIC hdiuc Va hCi fiNWtu ~
Laffimonne Delapcrte. The murdered
woman was a niece OF Jean Casimlr-

that Madame Delaporte was an intimate
friend OF hers who had separated from

soon aiterward discovered that they
were meeting secretly.

had meeting on Saturday, and Madame
Raymond went TO their rendezvous.
