AMERICAN IS NOW IN PARIS.

Paris. February 2e.-The police of this warrant for the arrest of Paul Roy on the charge of murder. This charge was made by Roys wife, an American actress also known as Glacia Calla, who declares that he murdered her brother, George A Carkins, early in January, in New Hamp- shire. The warrant has not yet been served. The French law does not per- init the extradition of French citizens, but provides for their trial and pun ishment in France for crimes commit ted abroad. Roy's brothers point out that his marriage to Miss Carkins is illegal in France, as he had not previously ob- tained the consent of his parents, and they say he will apply for a divorce in America on the ground that his wife misrepresented her age at the time of her marriage, swearing she vas 27 when she was really a4 years old.
 In addition to declaring that Paul Roy was forced to shoot Carkins in self-de- fense, the family charge that the accu- sation of murder brought by PauPs wife is taken in q spirit of revenge because her husband informed her that he did not intend to return to America. but would henceforth live in France.

My wife left the room to dress herself, returning shortly in a beautiful costume and wearing large hat. 1 told her the hat was too large to ride comfortably in an automobila, but this comment she answered rudely saying she intended to please her brother and not me.
