AMURDERESS P4RDoSED.
Her Release Causes u Sensation IN London
Murdered Her Mistress.

LONDON, Jan. 30.-A sensation has been
caused by the release, by order of the
home office, of Marguerite DiXblanc, the
Park Lane murderess who was convicted
in 1872 of the atrociOus murder Of her mis-
tress, Madame Riel. .......
The crime was committed on the Sth of
April, 1872. Madame Riel's body was
found in pantry and Marguerite Dixblanc,
who was her cook, was suspected of the
crime. The house had been robbed of a
large amount of MONEY eau valuables,
Dixblanc was convicted, but the jury
recommended her to mercy. The presump-
ton was that the murder had been pre-
ceded by quarrel between Dixblanc and
Madame Rfel and was therefore not pre-
,nedited. The authorities gave effect to
this recommendation by committing the
sentence to imprisonment for life.
