MURDERED BY A MOTH.
A Curious Case and the Evidence Upon
Which 1t Was Decided.


In olden times it was not rare for
animals to te accused and convicted Of
various Otfenses and given judicial
trials. but there is a more recent case
recorded. in which moth was proved
to have been Il murderer. 1t was the
case of the Princess Caravella, at Ma
pies. After giving a dinner party size
proceeded to her room to snatch few
minutes of rest. in order to refresh
herself for dance.
She was discovered lying dead on her
bed. with n pistol wound in her heart.
Her husband Prince Caravella. had
been noted for his jealous disposition.
and as 1T was certain that no stranger
could possibly ave been in the prin-
cess room suspicion pointed to HIM
and he was arrested.
The pistol was found lying near the
murdered woman, which in itself was
favorable to the prince, for no muir
derer, unless he courted detection.
would thus leave the weapon to be
discovered. In spite of this. it was
probable that things would have gone
hard with the accused but for the
shrewdnesS of a Naples police officer.
InlS man care1ulIN examined the beu-
chamber, and, lying on the floor by the
bedside. he found one of those large
moths that abound in Italy. A lighted
candle had stood on table by the bed,
and the moths wings bore evident
marks of having been badly singed
against the flame.
What was more important still. some
OF the powdery dust from the moths
wings was found on the trigger of the
pistol. and pistol had lain in such
position that it covered the princess
heart. 1t was clear. argued this astute
Sherlock Holmes. that the moth had
burned its wings and had fallen on the
table where. writhing in agonies, its
wings had struck the trigger of the pts
toll, and the pistol had been thus fired.
It was noted that the hair trigger
worked with exceptional ease.
It should be remarked that these
Italian moths are larger than any
with which we are familiar in this
country On this evidence the prince
was rightly acquitted. - Parsons
