THE : DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1866.'
trailing Snlclde of a Supposed French
Nobleman and Ills Mother.
Nine week ago French gentleman applied for
apartments (furnished) at No." 1 Norfolk road,
f aldington, ttntlng that he and bis mother de
alred the drawing-room floor and a bed -room,
and added that he waa a French nobleman, who
frojn political, motives aad boon compelled to
leave his country. The landlady, Mra. Connor,
asked for references, which were given, and
whteh comprised the naraesof some ol the higher
dignitaries ol the Eoman Cataollo Church, and,
the inquiries baring proved satisfactory, the
apartments were let to the Frenchman and his
mother at 2rs. per week. Since then several
weeks have elapsed, when the landlady found
that she need not expect auy rent from ber
lodpers, and she further discovered that the
Frenchman and his mother were living in a
atate ot semi-starvation; that notwithstanding
they were constantly receiving visitors, the ma-
iorlty ot whom came in their carriages, very
ittle food came into the house for their suste
nance. Last week Mrs. Conner pave her lodgers
notice to quit, the said notice to take effect on
last Thursday. In the Interim the Frenchman
wrote a great many letters, but received very
few in return.
At half-past 8 on Thinday night Mrs. Connor
went upstairs to inquire the reason why her
lodgers had not left, aad on knocking several
times at the door, and receiving no answer, she
concluded they had gone to bed, but as she was
going down stairs, the old lady came out of the
room, and said it would be all right on the fol
lowing morning. AtlOo'cUck on Friday M rs.
-, Connor again went to the door ot the rooms, and
after knocking for several miaules, and receiving
no answer, she became alarmed, and sent for the
police. Uawtrco, 1 X, was speedily on the spot,
and he ettected an entry into tho room by way
of the back window. The Frenchman and his
mother were found suspended by cords from the
opposite cuds of the window cornioe-roller, and
both of them quite dead. The Frenobman was
suspended by a piece of window-cord, and the
mother had hung hereelt with a small rope
pulled from the bed-sacking. There were indi
cations showing that alter the nooses were
affixed both mother and son stood on a high
footstool at the centre of the window, and threw
themsolves off simultaneously.
At that moment the end of the cornico pole
Which suspended the mother, splintered, which
caused a depression at the other end, the conse
quence being the feet of both parties touched
the ground; but so determined were they to
commit suicide that bpth of them drew up their
legs, and thus consummated their purpose.
With their legs bent in this wise they were found
by the inspector. Mr. J. 8. Beale, the pollce
eurgeou. pronounced that life bad been extinct
for several hours. On a sola near the window
was found on one end the Frenchman's coat,
cravat, and collar, and on the other end the
woman's cat) and neck-ribbon. On an adjacent
table were several articles of antique Jewelry
evidently heirlooms and letters irom several
Xnelibh and French noblemen. Close ta where
they lav were two sheet marked with ink in
large letters. One was marked, '"This lor my
self, " the other, "This for my mother." On the
table was found the following letter:
"Mrs. Connor: You are a Christian and a
Catholic, therefore you will know how to fulfil
the last prayers of a dying woman, and that it ia
a holy duty." My beloved son and myself are lust
eoinc to die. We ask from vou to look over that.
and see that our dress is not taken from us, and
that my son's lalse leg (the gentleman wore a
cork leg) be not taken Irom him. I have, pre
pared two nieces of bed sheets, and I wish us to
be wrapped in them all dressed. I also wish yon
to take care we are both placed in the same
rave. My beloved son has struggled against his
enemies with a courage that a good conscience
alone can give. We have suffered a great many
humiliations and privations, and we have been
consenting to bear such Buffering so long as our
religious leelings would permit us. God does
'know our thouguta and our consciences; He will
forgive us. We thail pray Him for jou lor what
you saw not. Do, by yourself, what I ask from
you. xase cure mat it is done, l taatiK
you for your kindness to us in our misfortune,
and 1 regret the trotiDie we are giving you
now; dul i wisu to die nero. i leave to yon nice
a reward eight cards (pawnbrokers' duplicates)
of very said clothes. Thev are in for 8j their
value is, indeed, thirty guineas. I have not had
the means to give something to the man who
has rendered to us some service, and who, in
this last moment, will have something to do. I
leave him all . the clothes of my son ; I speak of
what i give to yon because i a in persuaded that
I do not know; but 1 think our property in your
Jnouse has Deen a security lor our expenses up
to this time. You mav have the two hats of mv
son's, but burn all which you consider should be
. thrown away. For a long time I have seen my
son suQering and slowly dying. God only know
eth all the torments ot my houI. I pray you
again to uo an mat. uoa wui mess you.
I ) "A. si Caluwb."
Close to the man's body was the following let
ter:
"I should be obliged that the woman upstairs
arrange our two bodies, and give her what she
likes. There is linen in the wardrobe, if wanted.
Everything we have on is very old. I leave a
great deal of old linen dirty. I leave eight coats
nwA 1 f j-t I, I.Mwlo "M tt ,i ll 1,.n.
asks that our faces be covered with linen. I leave
Os. Wo have Buffered very much, and I trust,
Mrs. Conner, you will do my mother's requests.
"F. de Caiajwh."

was thirtv-five years of age, aud his mother
seventy years ol age. London Paper.
