the gate was forced-and then suddenly
ceased. They seemed to be screams of some
person Cor persons) in great agony-were
loud and drawn out, not short and quick.
Witness led the way upstairs. Upon reach
ing the first landing, heard two voices in
loud and angry content1on--the one gruff
voice, the other much shriller-a very
strange voice. Could distinguish some words
of the former, which was that of French
man. Was positive that it was not wo-
mans voice. Could distinguish the words
isacre' and diable.' The shrill voice was
that of a foreigner. Could not be sure
whether 1t was the voice of a man or or a
woman. Could not make out what was
said, but believed the language to be Span
ish. The state of the room and of the bodies
was described by the witness as we describ-
ed them yesterday.
Henry Duval a neighbor, and by trade
silversmfth, deposes that he was one or
the party who first entered the house Cor
roborates the testimony of Muset In general.
AS soon as they forced an entrance they
reclosed the door, to keep out the crowd,
which collected very fast notwithstanding
the latenesS of the hour. The shrill voice,
the witness thinks, was that of an Italian.
was certain 1t was not French. Could not
be sure that 1t was a mans voice. 1t might
nave been a Woman's. Was not acquainted
with the Italian language. Could not dis
tinguish the words, but was convinced by
the information that the speaker was an
Italian. Knew Madame L.. and her daugh-
ter Had conversed with both frequently.
was sure that the shrill voice was not that
of either of the deceased.
60 Odenheimer, restaurateur. This wit
ness volunteered his testimony. Not speak
ing French, was examined through an in
terpreter. Is a native of Amsterdam. Was
passing the house at the time of the shrieks.
They lasted for several nlinutes-proba bly,
ten. They were long and 1oud-very awful
and distressing. Was one of those who en-
tered the building. Corroborated the pre-
yious evidence in every, respect but one.
Was sure that the shrill voice was that of
man-of Frenchman. Gould not distin-
gutsh the words uttered They were loud
and qulck-unequal-spok apparently In
fear as well as in anger. The voice was
harsh-not so much shrill as harsh.
Could not call it shrill voice. The gruff
voice said repeatedly. 'saere,' diable' and
once mon Dieu.'
Jules Mignaud banker Of the firm of
Mignaud ct Fills, Rue Deloraine. Is the
elder Mignaud. Madame l. Espanaye had
some property. Had opened an account
with his banking house in the spring of
the year-(eight years preyiously). Made
frequent deposits in small sums Had
checked for nothing until the third day be-
fore her death, when she took out, in per-
son, the sum of 1900 francsi This sum was
paid in gold, and clerk sent home with
the money.
'Adolphe LIE Bon, clerk to Mignaud ct

versed with a native of Russia.
Several witnesses, recalled, here teStf-
fed that the chimneys of all the rooms on
the fourth story were too narrow to admit
the passage of a human being. By sweeps
Were meant cylindrical sweeping brushes,
such as are employed by those who clean
chimneys These brushes We're passed up
and down every fiue in the house. There is
no back passage by which any could
have descended while the party proceeded
upstairs. The body of Nile. LEspanaye
was so firmly wedged in the chimney that
it could not be got down until four or five
of the party united their strength.
Paul Dumas, physician, deposes that he
was called to view the bodies about day.

sacking Of the bedstead, in the chamber
where Mile. j.. was found The corpse of
the young lady was much bruised and ex-
coriated.. The fact that it had been thrust
up the chimney would sufficiently account
greatly chafed. There were several deep
scratches just below the chin, together with
a series of livid spots which were evidently

fearfuly discolored, and the eye-balls pro-
truded. The tongue had been partially Bit
ten through. large bruise was discover
ed upon the pit Of the stomach, produced,
apparently, by the pressure of a knee In
the opinion of M. Dumas, Mile. L'Espanaye
had been throttled to death by some person
or persons unknown. The corpse of The
mother was horribly mutilated. All the.
bones Of the right leg and arm were more
or less shattered. The left tibia much
splintered, as well as all the ribs of the
left side Whole body dreadfully bruised
and discolored. 1t was not possible to saw
how the injuries had been inflicted. A
heavy club of wood or a broad bar of iron
"a chair, any large, heavy and obtuse
weapon would have produced such results
If welded by the hands of a very powerful
man. No woman could have inflicted the
blows with any weapon. The head of the
deceased, when seen by witness, was en-
tirely separated from the body, and was
also greatly shattered. The throat had evil

strument-prooably with razor.
Alexandra Etienne surgeon, was called
with M. Dumas to view the bodies. Cor
roborated the testimony and the opinion OF
M. Dumas.
Nothing further of Importance was clio
tied, although several other persons were
examined. A murder SO mysterious, and
SO perplexing in all its particulars, was
never before committed in Paris-if, indeed,
murder had been committed at ALL. The
police are entirely at fault-an unusual oc-
currence in affairs of this nature. There is
not, however, the shadow of a clew appar-
ent.''
The evening edition of the paper stated
that the greatest excitement still continued
in the QUARTER st. Roch-that the premises
in question had been carefully researched
and fresh examination of witnesses insti-
tuted, but all to no purpose. A postscript,
however, mentioned that Adolphe LIE Bon

William Bird, tailor deposes that he
was one of the party who entered the
house. Is an Englishman. Has lived in
Paris two years. Was one of the first to
ascend the stairs. Heard the voices in con-
tention. The gruff voice was that of a
Frenchman. Could make out several words,
but cannot now remember all. Heard dis
tinctly 'sacre' and mon Dieu.' There was a
sound at the moment as if Of several per-
sons struggling-a scraping and scuff1ing

-Four of the above-named witnesses be-
ing recalled, deposed that the door of the
chamber in which was found the body of
Mademoiselle L. was locked on the inside
when the party reached it. Everything
was perfectly silent-no groans or noises OF
any kind. Upon forcing the door no person
was seen. The windows, both of the bac
and front room, We're down and firmly fas-
tened from within. A door between the
two rooms was closed but not locked. The

passage was locked, with the key on the

This room was crowded with old beds,

not carefully searched. Sweeps were sent

The demonstration when Judge Goode
concluded continued for five minutes. Those
near him caught his hands and shook them
warmly Every one else applauded. Finally
when a rising vote of thanks was proposed
the whole assemhlage arose, crowded around
the speaker and escorted him to the dining
