PAnis, May '-'.'I. The Figaro to-day relates a'
slorr ot n murder which is exciting great
interest. Tho names nro not atven. but if the
details clvon In the Fioam nro true thoy can
not long be concealed. The story Is that tlio
wife of a Government official holding nnlm
pottnnt position had long suspected her hus
band of unfaithful conduct with thowlfo of a
Deputy who holds n prominent placo In tho
leclslntlvo chamber, nnd whose name has
been frequently mentioned In connection with
meannronot nntlonnl importance. The wlfo
lmd followed her husband about for somo time
past, in tho hope ot dotectlni; evidence ot
Kullt- He succeeded, howaver, in evading
hoi.nndshn was not nblo until jeslerdny to
cet the proof deslrod. Tho wife is known to
ten woman of high temper, nnd tlio tragedy
that n suited is not n surprise to tliofo who
hnvo met her. ... ., . ,
Mho cot an inllmntlon insomo.wny that her
liUHbund nnd tho woman mltflit be found at.i.i
Hue Durncher. Tho wlfo went thero nlono
lust iilglit. nrincd with a revolver. Bho sin
ceoded In passing tlio porter ot the building
without arousing suplclon. nnd went at once
to the room which wns occupied by tlie Inlt i
less husband nnd his iniatris. , How sho pb
tnlnod ndmlsslon duos not clcnrly nproar, but
she managed to got Into tho room. Thelitis,
bund wns tnken utterly by surprise, nnd
neither ho nor tlio woman lmd an op
puit unity to ecape. Tlie wife paid no ut
teiitlon to hor liusbiind, boyond cold look
of recognition. Turning to the woman, she
poured out n Hood of abuse, charging her both
with botrnylncher own husband nna robbing
hor. tho Injured wife, of tho man sho loved
uinl to whom she had nlwnys been true. 'Iho
wretchetl woman cowered In u corner of the
hod. and was too stricken with shame to utter
n word of reply. Tlie fury of thu deceived
wlfo increased, und drawing her levolvor sho
llred shot utter shot direct Into the hotly of
tho wretched woman. The husband, when
shedrewthii rovolvei. thought It was Intended
for him. anil dashed out of tho room, leaving
his companion In sin without protection, ut the
mercy or the Infurlaled wife. .
I ho latter did not eeaso llrlng until five bul
lets weio lodged In the victim's ho.ty. Hcelng
thai liar prey wns not yet dead tlio furious
woman throw down tlio pistol nnd drew ft dag
ger. She tlarted upon the dvlng woman and
blabbed hoi time after time, uttering with
evcrv blab cuises and denunciations. 1 on
plo heard the shrieks and the death strugglo
and cnine rushing Into the loom, llio thing
woman could not sjeak. but lmd strength to

to confess, but ho persisted In denial. There
is a general feeling of gratlllcntlon over the

one expresses even pity for the wretch. Tho

drossed to tho Saxon authorities. When Herr
