II was amon6 tho latest news IN the
paper that my eyes fell upon this atirac-
tive title:
THE AFFAIR OF THE RUE MAR
BOEUFl FROM BAD TO WORSE.
And the brief paragraph OF the Ant
werp correspondent OF the Partisan
newspaper thus summed up the amazing
10 shion In which the police had been
trlcked once more:
The Belgian police have Just Informed
the Paris detective bureau OF a sensa-
short time to the arrest OF the cosmo-
politan band that has operated In the
double crlmo of the Rue M%arboeuf and
the Boulevard Mailiot at Neullly.
These are the facts. The Belgian
police yesterday succeeded In arrestinE
an individual they had sought FOR a
long time. a man who. under the name
OF Lord A~bdeburry. was practising the
most ingenious robber,es upon tho great
jewellers OF Brussels.
Going to the Metropolis Hotel in Ant.
werp. no registered under the name of
zimmerman, The skllfui detectives had
no difficulty In rapidly as%certaining that
zimmerman. the presumed murderer OF
M. Grenet. Comte de Pulliccinl. the as
sassln OF Nine. Ju'not. and the burglar.
Lord A~bdeburry. were one and the same
person.
Unfortunately. in going from the
prison to the Metropole Hotel for a
search which was to lead to the most as
founding results. tho formidable robber
succeeded In eluding the watchfulness
OF his keepers. again slipped through
their hands and escaped.
After a man chase that lasted hfteen
minutes the police officers, having LOST
track OF him. gave up their useless pur-
suit.
now these are the astounding dis
ccveries made at the M%etropole Hotel:
THE day OF Hlmmermann's arrival.
under the name OF NJ. Pomme, accompa-
MED by his daughter and son-in-l,w.
three persons were entered on tho hotel
register who at the time OF thinner
mann's arrest disappeared without set
tlln their bills. leaving behind them a
miserable automobile OF Belgian make.
The Paris detective bureau. Informed
by telephone. set their best men at work.
who Immediately reached this other GER
tainty: NJ. Pomme. his daughter and his
son-in-law could be no other thar NJ.
Marathon, the examining magistrate
who mad disappeared. Nine. Gronrt. the
widow OF the man murdered In the Rue
Marboeuf. and the mysterious stephen.
son, arrested on the discovery Of the
crime by NJ. Marathon himself. Now,
they cannot be the accomplices OF Comte
Dc Pulliccini.
THE AFFAIR. we see, Is assuming fan
tastic proportions, Hut there 4, 40 doubt
that the French police. provided with
three new warrants o. arrest. will show
more skill than their Antwerp colleagues
The circle Is narrowing around his mys-
%,crIous association OF criminals. and a
solution which viii surely cause a great
scandal Is close at hand"
