The Express. — 1848-01-20 (London, England)

PMES, THURSDAY EVENING, JANUARY 20, 1848.  bow that *UM. IL had • 'brother. The ast:lmealied Wine. E., who was an the fires tow, end who se ester Into the back little room where she was *ague& I requseted her to make out my account, fortesed4ll- the hype that she would not be offended with me • net milli/ her sooner. I said that I bad been un and that I had been four meet& in prison. She replied, I eertainly bad made her wait long for the money, but that I must see myself that she had no in against me, because she had not put me to any expense to recover the debt. I can na ed on this convetion in order to time, I bad with Vandenplas that if I shouldgain vefor remain fi minutesart* irtrinftore, it would be a sign .hat there was no obstacle to the execution of our project, and that he should come in. It bad been agreed that Vandenplu should introduce himself hats the house under the pretext of renting one of Mdlle. Emitpoet's houses in the Rue d'Andenlecht,aud that whilst delivering his message to tho servant, ho should stun her with a heavy hammer belonging to a ow keeper, outside the Porte de Louise, at a place called La Longue-haie (the long hedge), where Vandeoplas took his victuals, and from whisk ha fetched away the hammer without the _knowledge of the owner. We did not know that there was a ascend servant in the house. Whilst Mdlle. E. was looking over her book of amounts, I beard the bell ring, and I said to myself, 'That is Vandenplas.' A few minutes elapaed, but I heal Ile noise, and not knowing what might have taken place dews stain, I made an excuse to descend, and said to Mdlle. Ezeuse me, I have en errand to perform; I have not got I the money about me. I shall return tomorrow.' She replied, ' Very well ; I have not yet found your account.' I went down, and found Vandenplu close to tl.e door of the little WOW into which, on my first snivel, I had been shown. We immediately went up together into Mille. E.'s room. Oa seeing Vandenplas she exclaimed What is the matter I' in Flemish (West is dat ?) I replied, ' This is my comrade, and I am now going to pay you.' I put my hand for a second into my pocket, and we immediately attacked her. Vandeoplas stunned her with the hammer, and when she fell on the ground I cut her throat with a poniard. She had onljtinte to utter two cries—the name twice of one of her servants, which I forget. When I first went down stain, and, se before stated, found Vaadeuplas close to the little room door, he asked me if Mdlle. E. was already dead. Oa my reply in the negative he abused me as a coward, told me he had already killed the servants, and asked me where was thAe=obeli'. It was then that we hastily betook ourselves to her room. Vandenplas told me there were two servants. I heard them groaning. I found one lying alongside the door, and the other in the kitchen, near a pump. I c the throats of both, and dragged the body of one close to the other. Subsequently Vsnelenplas informed me that he had stunned the girl who had opened the door for him, and that whilst he was busy finishing her (oecupe u ractever), he saw the other servant comtng out of the cellar with a light, and heard her exclaim, probably because she Ind heard some noise, What is the matter ?' He immediately ran towards the second servant, and knocked her down senseless before she had time to utter a single word." Such is Roasiel's confession, but, notwithstanding its positive nature, Vandenplu still persists in declaring that he had no hand, directly or indirectly, in the matter. It is calculated that altogether the house of Mdlle. E. and brother war stripped, after the murder, of property to the value of 6,000 f. The trial of the prisoners well 11001% commence.
