There seems to be no good reason
for doubling the story that set free q

Italy. After giving a dinner party she
proceeded to her room to snatch a few
minutes of rest in order to refresh her.

She was discovered lying dead on
her bed. with pistol wound in her
heart. Her husband, Prince Caravella,
had been noted for his jealous dispo-
,sition: and, as it was certain that no
stranger could possibly have been in
the princess room, suspicion pointed
to him and he was arrested. The pis-
tol was found lying near the murdered
woman, which in itself was favorable
to the prince, for no murderer. 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 &C
