CASE SOLVED.
Wife of Murdered Artist Tells Story
of the Crime.

Paris Nov. 25.-The Steinheil murder case has
entered on sensational stage and appears to
be nearing solution as result OF the revela-
ton of small jeweller who came forward to-
day and said that Nine. Steinheil June IL
last brought pearl ring to him to be unset
Later Nine Steinheil admitted that she put the
pearl in a pocketbook belonging to Remy Couil-
laud, who was NJ. SteinheiIs man servant IT
was the discovery of the pearl in Couillauds
pocketbook that led TO the arrest OF Couillaud
a few days ago on a charge OF having murdered
Adolphe Steinheil and Nine. Japy last May.
Mime. Steinheil to-day said that Couillaud was
innocent, and then, pressed for explanation,
broke down and admitted that she knew the
murderer He was the son of one OF the SER
wants and she mentioned a name He came TO
the Steinheil house. believing that the family
was absent. He bound her and killed her hus
band and her mother, who had been awakened
by the noise. He threatened, according TO Nine
SteinheiIs story, that If she disclosed his name
he would say that she was an accompice and
had melted him to come and kill her husband.
The man, she said. had terrorized her ever since.
The burglary was sham. The murderer took
only money while she herself hid the Jewels in
their Bellevue villa. Later fearing that they
would be found by the police. she took them to
a. jeweller and had them unset and the mount
ings melted. She promised that she would go
before a magistrate early tomorrow and re-
veal ALL
Asked why she had stirred up the affair when
it had practically been forgotten Nine. Steinheil
made the enignatical reply: Because 1 hoped
completely to justify myself in the mind of
whom Will not name. whose love lost and of
whom must never more think
