A French Murder.

Details or q fearful farm tragedy have been received from Avoise, a small place near Le Mans, where a mother. who has since become insane. accused her son of having murdered the owner of a farm where he was a servant in the hope of mar rying his employers wife. The alleged murderer is farm hand only nineteen years of age, who had fallen in love with the wife of the farm proprietor, and she. 1t is said. encouraged him to believe that his affection was reciprocated and suggested the murder, but for the pugpose of marrying another. It took the authorities several weeks to discover the threads of this strange tangle of romance and crime. The cattle to a place for water every evening. but one Monday he asked leave to go to the village some distance away and the proprietor consequently drove the cattle himself to their watering-piace at dusk.
 As he stood watching them, the place be- ing some distance from the farmhouse, he was shot down. and died on the following morning without being able to give any other indication as to the murderer except that he had been fired upon by a man hidden behind . bush. The farm hand was sus- pected and arrested, but no direct proof could at first be found against him. The only persons. who 1t Is alleged knew 1t. were his own father and mother, who had discovered his gun hidden in Q haystack. Confronted with this evidence, he admitted that he had killed his master in the hope of marrying the latters widow, and that she. in fact, had urged him to commit the crime and bought him the gun with which he was to kill her own husband. After he had committed the crime, however. she refused to see him. and told him that In reality 1t was his elder brother. c sol- dier. whom she intended to marry. The young mans parents kept the secret to themselves for somS time, and 1t was not until the mother learned that her son was to be brought up for trial that she finally broke down and pointed to the young wid- ow as the chief culprit. "she is the one who urged my son to commit the murder" said the mother, 'and I win not allow him to be condemned while she remains free,
 After making this statement the mother became insane. The farm proprietor's wife was then arrested. and. 1t is alleged. csn- fessed to her share in the crime. She is 27 years of age. has three children, but said in excuse that she had been ill-treated by her husband. who had frequently beaten her. It was one day after the young farm hand had how brutally her husband struck her that he consented to shoot him, and he committed the deed on the follow ing night.
