wealthy merchant OF Nancy,

Ject OF more awful threat than has
ever come under the notice of the POI
lice in modern civilized community,
He received a letter demanding from
him the sum Of $4,000 francs, under
pain OF death. In this letter the writ
er said; I'VE require you to pay us
$4,000 francs before April rs. We give
you plenty of time to make up your
mind and TO discover that we are In
earnest. In order to persuade you how
little We regard the taking Of human
life We win kill man within three
days. You win find his body In the
Rue st. Max with bullet through his
heart. We should kill you with as lit
tie pity as we should kill a rat. Your
death would be useful example to
others" Matthias considered the lam
guage OF this letter so exaggerated and
preposterous that at irst 1t seemed &c

him more like practical joke than a
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 a 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-
ceived another letter which said:
Your victim has fallen. Forty min
utes ago a man. apparently OF the
working class, was killed by a bullet
through his body In the Rue st. Max.
This is simply to show you that we
are in no fear ok sacrificing human
life" The dead man was a gardener
named Letellier. The police have been
able to discover no motive for his MUIR
der and no cIew 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
at late hour of the evening. AS soon
as he read OF the murder Matthias
showed his own threatening letter to
the police. Naturally he believes that
the murderers who would kill a man
merely as an example would have no
hesitation in killing him. He Is guard
ed night and day by the police. He IL
utterly Frustrated by fear. and unless
the police discover the author or the
authors OF the crime he will pay the
10000 francs rather than die of fright.
The fact that the day fixed for his
death is some time ahead only adds
to his terror. 1t is only so much more
time in which to worry himself to
death. He now feels that IL would
have been cheaper to pay the $4,000
francs than to suffer so much
