MURDERS IN MORAVIA.  A horrible double murder, recalling in some of its revolting details the Whitechapel mysteries, is reported from Leskau, in Moravia. The bodies of two young girls, aged respectively 17 and 19, were found a few days ago in the Forest of Leskau, frightfully mutilated. A gamekeeper named Schinzel lived there, with his two daughters, in easy circumstances. The man is highly respected by his neighbours, and his daughters were remarkably well brought up. They lost their mother some years ago. Two brothers, the sons of a local merchant, had for some months peat been regarded as the accepted suitors of the two girls, who, by the way, were both of them renowned for their beauty. The parents of the young men were frequent visitors at the gamekeeper's house, and no doubt was entertained that a double marriage had been satisfactorily arranged. Lately there appeared on the scene two gentlemen of distinction, a civilian and an officer, who were observed by the villagers to pay conspicuous attention to the gamekeeper's daughters, and were seen in their company constantly. They went to Leskau partridge-shooting, and shortly after their arrival the merchants two sons ceased their visits to the gamekeeper's. A few days ago there was a hare battue, to which both the two strangers and the merchant's sons were invited. The latter, however, refused. After the battue was over the gamekeeper's daughters were seen in the Leskau Forest in company of the two strangers, but they never returned home, and for four days nothing was heard of them. On the fourth day a peasant discovered their bodies in the forest. The elder sister was shot through the temple and her two breasts were cut off. The younger sister was shot in the breast and neck, while a wooden stave pierced the lower part the body, running into the ground. The merchant's elder son has disappeared. He is suspected of having committed the crime out of jealousy. His brother has been taken into custody.  WFIAT .
