m: b UEST; 6H3 MBE ht_ 011' THE INN A T
[From the Jam-ml of s Detaclivej
I received an urgent. letter from the sub-agent
of St. Ives, calling me to come and unravel the
mysgery of many murders committed there, to
which no clue could be had. Proceeding on my
journey I met the sub-agent, Barret, in the
diligence which had to convey me to St. Ives.
The excitement consequent upon this alarm
ing state of affairs had caused Ihe subagent to
decide upon a personal investigation ‘of the
matter, and when I encountered him he hurl
already started for St. Ives, so that our desti
ualion was the same.
“You entrapped Lhc rascal, Jacques Guichard,
so admirably,” M. Ben-er. remarked, “that I am
led to hope: for your success in the present case,
dark and doubtful as the matter now looks.”
“At. all events," was my reply, “I deem it
no more than justice to myself to make a strong
effort. I must ask you, however, Monsieur
Barrel, to give me the. entire management and
control of this matter in every particular.”
“I will do so, and with pleasure. Frame
whatever plans and use whatever means you
please. I will be guided by you in all things
pertaining to the business.”
“This will be well. But one thing more,
Monsieur Berret. You must be as secret as the
grave. Do not, upon any consideration, let it
be known in St. Ives that“ there is a. detective
oflioer nearer to them than in Paris ; and, above
all, do not suffer yourself to make inquiry con—
cerning these murders. Leave me to ask all
the questions in my peculiar manner.” '
The sub-agent promised full compliance with
my instructions, and in a. few moments we were
rolling through the darkness and rain into the
village of St. Ives. During these few moments,
however, an incident. occurred which necessa
rily has unimportant» bearing upon my narra
um.
Our conversation had been held, as a mailer
of course, in so low a lone as not to be over
heard by the other occupants of the diligence ;
in fact, I had hardly noticed any of their faces.
But now, as I had finished speaking for the
time to M. Benet, and looked oround me, I
discovered in the elderly gentleman who sat
directly behind us, Monsieur Lemare, é wealthy
wine seller of Bordeaux, and with whom I was
quite intimate. Upon recognizing me, he
greeted me cordially, and we conversed together
upon passing topics for a moment.
“You stop at the Hotel of St. Ives, I sup
pose ?” he said, changing the subject somewhat.
abruptly. I consulted the aub~agent, and
learning that this was the only place in St. Ives
at which he ever stopped, I answered the ques
tion in the affirmative.
do "
COAL!
‘-Well. I shall stay there also, but it is pos
sible I-mny not see- you again, as I intend to
leave St. Ives early to-morrow morning. lam
n'ow on my way. to England, traveling, 231113
business qompels mo 10, in a. round-about way.
“Contrary to my ’ usua‘ custom, I have ne
glected to obtain letters of exchange, and have
now the sum of five thousand francs with me.
Permit. me to count. this over before you, that
in case any unseen misfortune should deprive
me of it before reaching Calais, you may cer-
tify to my creditors as to my possession of the
money at this time.”
Producing a plethoric pocket-book, the wine
merchant counted its contents. The sum was
correct as he had stated, five thousand francs.
M. Barret, also, at his request, became a wit
ness to his possession of the money.
The diligence now came to a. stop before the
inn, and the passengers hastened to leave the
one for the other. After we had taken our
supper, I accompanied the sub-agent to his
room, where, for an hour, we talked on the
subject of our mission to St. Ives, and the pro
babilities of success; and then as the hour was
quite late, bade him good night and returned
to my .own chamber, and soon after went to
sleep.
Nothing unusual occurred during the night,
if I may make one exception, which itmoy be ‘
well to mention in this place. I had been 1
sleeping for more than two hours, and was lay—
ing in a half unconscious state, when I‘was
awakened by a heavy though smothered groan.
I was perfectly sure that I had not mistaken
the sound, and mentally deciding that'it had
been occasioned in some manner in the next
room, I sat upright. and listened intently. But
[heard nothing more, although I placed my ear
close to the wall. Whatever the strange sound
may have been it was not repeated.
Upon inquiring for the sub-agent the next
morning, I was told he had risen before me and
left the inn. .
The idea. then occurred to me that I might
have an opportunity to pass half an hour-with
Monsieur Lemare ; and addressing the landlord,
a heavy-brewed, ill-featured men, I asked for
him. The man elevated his brow in surprise,
and declared that the wine seller had not been
in the house for a month.

“But I do, Monsieur, perfectly,” he replied.
“You must. be mistaken about. seeing him here.”
“He was certainly here—sin this town—last
night.” ‘
“But not in this house—you are doubtless
thinking of some other person." ‘
As I walked away I noticed that he followed ‘
me suspiciously with his eyes. His manner 1
seemed strange to me. It was in fact rather
anxious and overstruined, us though he wished ‘
very much to impress it upon my mind that
Monsieur Lemore had not been in the hotel.—
Upon further reflection, however, I was forced
to confess that I really had‘ not seen the wine
merchant. in the inn. True, he had informed
me that. he had changed his mind, and so Ldis
missed the subject from my passing thoughts.
Passing into the street, I strolled along in
search of the sub-agent. I had continued my
walk for but a few moments, when, upon turn
ing a corner, I was brought abruptly upon a.
singular and horrible scene. A number of
Persons were crowded in confusion upon the
sidewalk—and among them as it happened M.
Berret. He quickly saw me, and seizing my

FRIDAY MORNING, DEC. 7, 1860.
ST. 1 VES.
I returned immédiately to the hotel, and be
fore the expiration of the appointed time, M.
Ben-eh entered my room.
“ There is.” he said, in a voice laboring un
der great excitement, “ no vestige of the money
upon the unfortunate man. It. has been plun
dered of everything valuable."
“Ah, I expected it. Monsieur Benet,let
us sit down and talk calmly of this affair. I
think I may be able to tell you that which will
surpnse you.
. “You are right. I flatterxnyself that I have
not only obtained a clue, but. am able evgn to
lay my fingers upon the guilty parties. Would
you like to hear of my discoveries ‘5" ‘
“ Yes—l am all impatience_. . Please go 031."
The Bub-agent drew his ch'air close to mine,
and listened eagerly? while I disclosed the sig-
nificant facts which I had gained since my ar-
rival at St. Ives
“ In the first place. theulhlonsieur Benet,”
I said, “ the discovery of this morning renders
it certain that we have selected the right then
tre for our operations. There can be no ob
‘eclion that these murders have been committed
in this town. since we have ourselves seen one
of the victims.”
The subag—nt nodded affirmatively, and I
continued: = ’
“ Fstir, then, it seems rather remarkable
but these wounds should all be inflicted in the
A 3 to the manner of their infliction, I
MEI
am not prepared to explain ; but it seems con
clusive to me that all the blows must have been
produced by the same hand. In the next place,
does it not. seem singnlnlj that every one of
these unfortunate men'has been amt-anger ‘2"
“ Now that I think of it, it does, as I live,”
the sub-agent. thoughtfully replied. “ But
what do you argue from this fact. 1'"
“ I will draw my inference in a moment.—
You will remember the circumstances of M.
Lemare counting his money in the diligence in
your presence—this morning we have seen his
dead body lying in the public street, rifled of
the money. There is now one question in my
mind. Did, or did not, M. Lemare lodge in
this hotel last night?”
“ The landlord told make did not."
“So he told me—but I prefer to investigate
for myself. We had it last night from Lemere’s
own lips, that it was his intention to stay at
this inn until morning, and I am inclined to
the belief that he did put up here last night,
notwithstanding that nobody appears to have
seen him within the house. It is probable that
he retired immediately to his room, and com
municated with no one but the innkeeper or
one of the servants. Now, Monsieur Berret,
let me recur to a circumstance which happened
in the diligence, which I think escaped your
notice. Just' as M. Auguste was replacing his
pocket book, I happened to glance behind me,
and then saw 1: object which instantly attracted
my attention.
“It was 'll. man, bent forwardin eager altitude,
his eyes intently fixed upon the operations of
M. Adguste. He quickly became aware that I
was watching him, and shrank back out of
eight, but not before I had observed his face.
I have seen it again this morning—it is that of
Antoine, thehosl-ler.” ..i . . ~ .. -
“This is truly an important discovery,” the
sub-agent observed.
“But this is not all. Last night I heard a
green from the chamber abjnining mine. The
discovery of this morning, considered with
these others which I have been telling you,
leads me to believe that this was the death
groan at" M. Auguste Lemere. In any event,
you can draw your own inferences. It is a
fact conclusive that the unfortunate man re
tired to bed in this he xt chamber. Whether or
not he ever left it alive, is a question which in
my mind admits of but little doubt.”
“Do you then really mean to say that your
belief is that M. Lemure was murdered under
this roof?”
“I am positive of it, and not only he, but
each of the other victims. And lam also in
duced to believe that every one of these mid
night assassinations have been committed in
the adjoining chamber.” '
“I have no doubt thatyou have arrived at
the truth,” the sub-agent replied. “And now,
what do you. propose to do first? Wculd it not
be better to arrest this innakcepet' and his
hostler at once 9.”
‘f By no‘means, M. Berret. I think that
would be an extremely injudicious step. What
I have been telling you are only conjectures of
my own, which, though probably true in almost
every particular, would, I greatly fear, avail
little as proof to charge the villainous inn
kceper, and his servants (who beyond all ques
tion, are the criminals) with these crimes.—
There is now one decisive step to he taken—l
propose to pass the night in this mysterious
chamber.”
Monsieur Berret heard my quietly spoken
words, and looked perfectly aghast with aston
; ishment.
, “ What, Guillotl are you mad ‘1" he ex
claimed. ‘* Pass the night in that infernal
slaughter house? Consider the danger of the
thing, and the great loss to the service which
your death would occasion.” ‘
The earnest anxiety with which this last re
monstrance was uttered was so perfectly ludi
crous, that I refrained with diflicnlty from
laughing outright. But I soon succeeded in
silencing his obj ections, if not in satisfying his
scruples.
“ You have, I believe,” I then remarked,
" a considerable amount of money with you.”
“ Yes, Man Dim .’ had this rascnlly landlord
known it last night. I might now be as cold as
poor Lemure! Can it answer you any pur
pose ‘3”
“ A very. important one. Lend try your
pocket book." ' '
Still holding it in my hand,’ 1 descended the
stairs, the sub-agent closely following me- The
inn~kceper was sitting behind his bar: 5993’“
ingly half asleep and half awoke, buL the lll
stsnt he saw the pocket. book his dull eyes
lighted up with an eager gleam, and he Watched
my motions with strict attention.
“The amount is correct,” 1 said aloud, ‘0 M-
Bcrret. “Two thousand francs—rims, than,
discharges the debt " Then walking “P to the
bar. I said to the inn-heel)”: ”-The room which
you have given me does not suit me in the least
_heve yuu not 9, lm'gPl‘ one where locsu lodge?"
“yes, Monsieur,” the man replied, with re
markable alncriry : “I should have spoken of
it myself. There is a large, pleasant chamber
next the one in which you slept lust nighn-du
me the favor to occupy it as long as you
please.”
"Yon had better decline before it is too late,”
M. Berret Whispered in my ear. “I fear you
will not occupy it for more than one night. If
you do, you will accomplish what no person has
yet done."
. “Show me the room,” I calmly replied, psy
mg no attention to the anxious Whispers of the
sub-agent. ' .
(fliers seemed nothing remarkable about the.
room, when we had first entered it. I? was a
’ trifle larger than the other chambers of_ the
house, and the furniture was of no more antique
pattern, especially the high-posted bedstead

. “Will you lodge here to-night, then, Mon

“Certainly. The room suits me in every

suspicions of my incentions, they Were certainly
by this time entirely dissipated ; and he left
tlxer9om, I have no doubt, gratified in the depths
of his black heart that another victim was to
fall so easily into his trap. .
“You are determined on this step, lperceive,”
M. ,Berret remarked, after he had gone.—
“Well, I will not attempt. to dissuade you since
I know you cannot be moved, but I promise you,
should you be missing in the morning, I will
burn the old rookery to the ground and hang
the villainous inn-keeper upon his sign-post, so
surely as I shall myself live till then.” .
“Take whatever steps you please when you
find me missing, M. Benet—until then leave
the matter in my hands. But there is one ma
terial service which you must not fail to render
me. You will, if you pleaSe, conceal yourself,
with two or three trustworthy men in the room
next to this, which I occupied last night, and
there await my signal. When you hear from
me, you will instantly, rush in and assist me to
secure whoever you may find.” '
These arrangements Were, at the proper time, '
put fully into operation. As evening drew on,
1 saw that the sub-agent and his allies were
properly secreted, and first enjoining vigilana
upon them, I entered the mysterious and fatal
guest chamber. The lamp which I carried
served to reveal every part of it, and I quickly
became aware that there was nothing unusual
about the appearance or the room, It was very
much such a becl chamber as might be met with
in almost every village inn. Nevertheless, I
resolved to put no faith in appearance, and
‘ immediately I commenced a systematic exami
nation. I searched everywhere—under the bed,
l in a closet and behind the window curtains—-
but my search revealed nothing. I was certain
I that no one was concealed in the room, and.
there as certainly seemed no place of ingress
save the door. I was beginning to become
anxious. 1 reflected that the danger might
come upon me unexpectedly, and from an un
expected source. I sat down, and for an hour
I waited—waited in restless expectancy for the
appearance of the assassin—but still I waited
in vain. Looking at .my watch, I perceived
thatit was nearly midnight. My unaccustomed.
vigil had wearied me, and placing my pistols
beneath the pillow, I lay down upon the bed
without removing my clothes. I was not long
in discovering that this bed was of somewhat
singular construction—Abe I‘ol malion of tbs
top being rather concave than otherwise, an
so adjusted that the occupant could not possi
bly rest in it any other way them upon his back
in the middle.
Linen his baa]: l—That seemed rather a sin«
gular discovery to make just at that moment.
Had not every one of the murdered men been
stabbed through the back ? Yes—and each one
of them must have received his death wound
whiie he was lying in this very bed just as. I——-
Click—«click—click !
Three sharp, distinct sounds, apparently close
at hand, interrupted my reflections. I' knew
their meaning in an instant—these sounds
needed no interpreter. I arose quickly and
silently, and grasping my pistols, awaited the
next movement. of the unseen assassin. . Click.
——click. That noise again, and now like the
creaking of s. hinge. Next there was a. shuf
fling sound, which made me aware that there
was a. man beneath the bed, and the next in
stant I saw the blade of a dagger driven up
through the mattress, in the very place where
I had been lying ! I gave a low groan, which
we; answered by a chuckle from beneath the
be .
“An easy death! Now far the spoils,” I
heard the same voice say. And at the same
instant the head and shoulders of the innkeepet
were thrust out from the bed hangings. Cover
ing him with the muzzle of one of my pistols, E
said: -
“ Come forth, air, and deliver yourself 11?!
Your innocent guest. is no other than a detec
tive oflicer! Don’t. attempt to escape—l shall.
certainly fire if you do I”
But he did try, and I speedily sent. a pistol
ball after him. The report was succeeded by
a deep groan, and instantly M. Ben-ct and his.
assistants rushed in. A hasty search was suf~
ficiently to discover the landlord under the bed,
weltering in his blood, and the hostler was
seized 'before an opportunity to close the secret
panel in the “all, through which he attempted
‘ to escape- ,
This panel, as a short search disclwed to us,
opened directly into a hollow partition, which
communicated with a lower room. By means
of this contrivance, the assassins had always
been able to enter this particular chamber at
any time, and once through the panel without
having disturbed the unsuspecting sleeper,
their work was easily done. This bed was, as
I have said, constructed in such a manner that.
a sleeper could maintain only one position in
it; a hole had been worked forthe passage of
the dagger, and a powerful thrust had been in
every instance enough to transfix the heart of
the victim. After sitting the body of every
thing valuable, the murderers were assustomed
to carry it out in one of the public streets of
the town. And so adroitly had’ this game been
played that no shadow of suspicion had at~
tachetl to the real criminals.
The inn—keeper recovered from the wound
which I gave him, but it was only, together
with his partner in guilt, the hostler, to re
ceive one of a. much more serious character
from the hands of the executioner.

GonH.LAs.—-—Dr. Du Chaillu is probably the first.
and only white man who has dared to wage war
with gorillas. The apes of Borneo and_Sumatre
are infants in comparison with them. \ The far

which can never be ne.-med in the some day with
the gigantic savage of Central Africa. Think
of it! The gorilla is six feet two inches in.
height, and three feet between the shoulder
blades. The paw is that of a giant, three
times the size of the human hand. The finger
measures six inches in circumference at the
huge. There is an immense ridge running per,
pcodicular over the cranium; this and the great
jaws are packed with muscles of prodigious
strength. The creature has large urine, alto
gether disproportioned to the body. It is cov
ered with black hair, and has a matted leek
on his hem], whichithns the power of brmglng

male is terribly pugnncions ; the female always
flies. When they make their attack they beat
their breasts with their fists, making a. sound
which can be heard a mile. Their cry, which
has a terrific resemblance to a. human voice, can
he heard three miles amid the reverberation of
the hills. ,
As they approach their adversary'they en
