him more like practical joke than n
threat. To his horror. the newspapers
within three days announced that the
dead body of man had been found
shot through the heart at the corner
OF the Rue de Lille and the Rue st.
Max. They added that he was q poor
man OF respectable life and regular
habits. and no possible motive could
be assigned for his murder. On the
day following the murder Matthias re-
ceivcd another letter which said:
your victim has fallen. Forty min
utes ago q man, apparently of the
working class. was killed by bullet
through his body in the Rue St. Max.
This Is simply to show you that We
are in no fear OF sacrificing huma1
life" The dead man was n gardener
named Lctellier. The police have been
able to discover no motive for his mur-
der and no clew to the identity OF his
murderers. The spot where he was
murdered is surrounded entirely by
business buildings in which there Is
ordinarily not single human being

rs he read OF the murder Matthias
showed his own threatening letter to
the police. Naturally he believes that
the murderers who would kill man

hesitation In killing him. He is guard

utterly prostrated by fear. and unless

authors of the crime he will pay the

francs than to suffer so much.
Another crime which Is exciting
Paris is OF less grewsomc nature than
the last. but Is yet remarkably strange.
A girl named Marguerite Sylvan was
deserted by her lover. Alphonse Du-
rand. She was person OF habitually
violent temper, and heavy bottle
aimed by her Mt her lovers head was
the immediate cause OF their separa-
ticn. Three days after that event she
surprised him at n cafe concert in the
Boulevard Montmartre. She presented n
heavy. oid-fashioned revolver at him
and fired almost point blank. The ter
rified man held his hands before him
in supplication AMI awaited death. She
fired. instead OF the fatal bullet he
felt frightful burning and stinging
sensation over the chest and stomach.
Then he dropped down unconscious
from pain. He was removed to the
hospital, and there 1t was found that
the girl had fired charge OF rock
salt into him. 1t had entered his body
in innumerable places. Durand now
