THE PARIS MYSTERY. A HORRIBLE STORY.  The murderers of M. Aubert. a Paris druggist, whose body was found in the Seine • few days ago, are now in the bands of jotter. The crime proves to be a deed of vengeance, deliberately concerted and carried out with • refinement of cruelty almost unparalleled. After identifying the body as that of her hr 'thee M. Auhert, Madame Barber informed the police that the murdered man had some time ago formed an illicit intimacy with Madame Irioneyron, • married woman, and Madame Bsrbey stated her improulon that he went on the evening of his disappearanc i to keep an appointment male by his mistress. The police were about to follow up this clue when they received an anonymous letter directing them to inquire of Madame Feneyron, Boulevard 0011VIOD. Saint (-yr, for the perpetrators of the crime. M. Mac& the chief of police, at once proceeded thither and it was not many minutes before his questions elicited from Madame Feneyron the avowal that M. Aubert had been murdered by her husband and her husband's brother. The arrest of the two men was immediately effected, and thy were at once taken to Versailles before , the Judge d'lnstructien. B ith dehied their guilt. The brother was token by the police through the villages of Freq. Croisy, and Chatou in concession. At Chatou the man was recognised by the inhabitsnts as one of two having been seen frequently going to and from a secluded house near the village. This was at once visited, and an old woman was found there, who, after some heaitation, stated, that on the day when the crime was supposed to have been committed, two men, of whom the prisoner was one, and a woman, had installed themaelves in the house, which she had let to them a day or two before for • week. On tloe return of the police to Versatile', Madame Feneyron gave • complete sconunt of the crime. Her statement is to the effect that the murdered man had been her lover. Some time ago her husband had become aware of her infidelity. The is anus, x ion was then interrupted. Determined upon exacting vengeance, her bullhead had thre stoned to kill her unless she would place her lover in his power. His threats drove her to consent to join in laying a trap for him. The cottage at Chatou was then taken, the husband secured the on-operation of hii brother, and the wife lured her lover to his doom. On the evening of the 18th of May, M. Arthur arrived at the cottage according to appointment, and found Madame Feneyron there, but with her husband and brother-in-law. He was immediately struck down by the two men with blows from • hammer and a walkingatick sword. As soon as he was unconscious he was stripped of his clothes, doubled up, and bound with some thirty feet of flattened lead p ping. His lips were then pinned together with two large shawl pine, and covered with a table napkin knotted at the bock of his head. He was then placed in • cart previously provided, which was dragged by the two brothers to the °baton bridge. Here the body was thrown into the Seine. On returning to the cottage the murderers burnt the clothes of their vict m, while Madame Feneyron took the train for Paris, in the conviction that every trace of their crime was for ever effaced. It is to be added that M. Funeyron, the principal murderer, wee formerly in business as • druggist, and his victim, M. Aubert, served his saw enticeshi pto him. No crime since the Tropmamo murders has excited such • sensation in Paris.
