emphasis on any one OF the three es-

plot or setting, and neglect the other

The speaker contended that Craw-

Princess last night to describe the

a prize fight, he forgot the game when
the full strength of the Princess chorus

"THE TRAGEDY IN THE RUE

MANY individuals have been examined
in relation to this most extraordinary and
frightful affair but nothing whatever has
transpired to throw light upon II. We
give all the material testimony ELECTED.
Pauline Dubourg, laundress, deposes
that she has known both the deceased for
three years. having washed for them dur
ing that. period The old lady and her
daughter seemed very affectionate to-
ward each other. They wree excellent
pay. Could not speak in regard to their
mode or means OF living. Believed that
Nine. l.. told fortunes for a living. Was
reputed to have money. Never had a ser
want in employ. There appeared to be no
furniture in any part of the building ex-
cept in the fourth story.
Pierre Moreau, tobaceonist. deposes
that he has been in the habit of selling
small quantities of tobacco and snuff to
Nine. L'Espanaye for nearly four years.
The deceased and her daughter had oc-
cupied the house in which the corpses
were found for more than six years. II
was formerly occupied by a jeweler, who
underlet the upper rooms to various per-
sons. The house was the property of
Nine. l.. She became dissatisfied with
the abuse of the premises by her tenant
