tempted murder. Frapereau is seventy
years old, and the wife is twenty years
his Junior. She has beaten him and starv-
ed him, and devised many methods Of add
ing to his torture for years past. Last
OF all she built a dungeon. where she kept
the unhappy man. with only few moldy
crusts to eat, often coming to the door Of
the cell to taunt him in his misery.
Villagers heard groans and shrieks Of
agony early yesterday morning. and the
village gendarmes Investigated. They fore
ed their way into the cellar of the Fra
pereau house, Notwithstanding the wom-
ans fantic protests. There in q bricked
space. only six feet'square. the gendarmes
found the poor old man stretched upon a
heap of straw. shivefing from the cold and
well-nigh famished.t He had been in the
fearful place for two weeks. and the au-
thorities are wondering that the old man
had the endurance to- cling to life despite
his -tortures. fT-,s
