Dying Madman Restored to Reason
Tells Of Almost forgotten
Crime.

MOSCOW, Jan. 26.-Many years ago a
beautiful Russian girl was found muir
dered In wood
Her lover. Simon Petrovsky, was tried
on circumstantia1 evidence. and upon
conviction exiled to Siberia
About the same time, Petrovsky' 5
cousin, Nogaief, a rival claimant to the
girls affections, went mad with grief at
her death, and was confined in an. asy-
lurn.
His Death took place Thursday. but ii
was preceded by a. period OF sanity, in
which he calmly confessed that he was
the murderer Of the girl and not his
cousin
Wien his story was laughed at. he de-
clGTed his pistol would be found In Z
pond near the fatal spot. Search was
made. and the pistol found. thus sub
stantiating the madman's confession.
