A TRUE BILL. • Early in the morning a 'the fif teenth of April, information reached the krench police • that the Bareness de C--•;-- was lying dead in her bed, strangled with a piece of ribbon.— She had beep married, as a widow, to,Baron de C—, and was about of years old, very pretty, engaging , manners, and both she and her husband were known far and wide 'for lavish hospitality. Three_ weeks before the murderl the Baron,iret out for Russia, where it was said that he inherited some pro perty from ,a 'relative. Daring the absence of her husband, the Baroness kept very much at home, kwith Ernes tine Lamont, a beautiful girl of the most innocent and , simple manners, who had been educated'and protect ed by her. On the night before the 1 murdex the Baroness went to the Op eia. rnestine, who was not very , well, did not accompany her ; tneita er. did she sit - up for her, as the Ba roness had a private key, and did , not wish the young lady to ,be dis turbed. It was the custom that when the Baroness, on awaking in the morning, rang her bell, Ernestine went first to her bedroom, When, on the morning after the murder, no bell was heard to ring, the servants wondered, and ail last one of them went up - to Ernes cue's room to ask the cause. It wa empty. Thinking that she.was gon , as usual, to the Baroness' bedrooni, the servant went thither. :There - the shutters were still, closed, and theaight-lamp burn ing on a little table by the bedside. On the floor lay the lifeless body of Ernestine. The girl now screamed for help ; the other servants hurried up stairs, and on opening the dint. tete it was seen ;that 'the Bareness lay, dead, evidently strangled With a - piece of ribbon, Which was at once recognized as belonging to Ernest ine, who was lyillg i 4 a swoon on the floor. , I , On coming to herself it was nat., urally supposed flat she Would be able, to throw some light on the mat ter, but, to . the Elurprise of all, she Elbowed a nervous hesitatiOn hardly to be reconciled With innocence. On further examination' it Willi found that the secretaire stnod Wide'open, a l pd that a quantity of papers and other articles were lying about—in confu aim), as if the 'contents of each draw er had been hastily turned inside out. By tidalum) the - police had ar rived. With scarcely a moment's hesitation they pronounced that one of the inmates of 'the house must either have comMitted the crime or at least been an }accomplice in it.— Evidently, , also,ere, bad been rob-* i li berg Oda to urder ; and .there , 7 fore, it was thou ht right to search the boxes of each member 'of the household.
