PAIIIS , March 8. [ Now York Herald
Cable Special to Tun Bnn.1 When
Lamlnotto took his scat In the dock at the
Seine assize court yesterday morning mur
murs of astonishment arose from the aud
ience. The prisoner was no longer the
benign , patriarchal-looking old gentleman
upon whom ail eyes were turned the pre
vious evening when the trial began. His
long locks iiad been shorn , und the flowing
beard cut and trimmed in the style affected
at the time of the Widow Jean's murder.
The lire t witness called was M. IJrcner , n
son-in-law of Mmc. Jean , nnd his evidence
was to the effect that the widow would never
have opened her doors after nightfall to any
visitor nlio did not know as xvoll us Lamlti-
cite , and with whom she hud not appointed
n maqtlng. Ho spoke of iho parsimonious
character of the old lady , and believed it
very probable that she hud a largo sum with
her in the house at the time of the murder.
A thrill ran through the court as Mmo.
Lauilnctto was called. Her evidence had
been somewhat in contradiction with the re
plies of her husband , and the spectators
awaited with lively curiosity her opening
words. They were :
"My husband is innocent. That is nil I
can say. "
After this Mine. Lamlnotto obstinately re
stricted herself to replying to the majority
of the questions uskcd her by saying she did
not remember , Once the prisoner replied
for his wife , emphatically repeating ho had
not left his house on the evening of the
crime.
A pathetic Incident occurred in the course
of the examination of tha next witness , the
twolvo-yoar-old girl of the accused. The
Child gave her evidence with the composure
of a grown person , nnd though the judge en
deavored to frighten her by hinting at the
trouble into which she might got herself ,
Mid assuming his most browbeating manner ,
tbo girl stood firm.
' "i'beti you suy your father did not leave
the house on thu evening of IhplOth , the duto
of tbjO murdorl"
' ' 1.NO . , monsieur. "
"Whutl don't you see you are contradict
ing your mother nnd father , who both uo-
Knowlogo that the prisoner left the house for
*
a few minutes ! "
"He ud ( not leave the bouse. "
"Remember , now , you. yourself told the
Judge of instruction ho did. "
"I did so through fear. "
' 'You had bettor tell the truth. It Is better
to bo truthful than clover , and it succeeds
best In the end. Now own tuu you futhcr ,
* " " '
left the house. "
"Ho did not , " wus the response that came
from the child In tones in which there was
not u quiver.
Thuro wus a feeling of relief as the child
was succeeded by her older abitor , Irma ,
twenty-three years of ago. Tlio opinion was
generally expressed that tbo prosecution
might have dispensed with the evidence of
the younger daughter at least. Irma Lam-
ir.utto's testimony wus a confirmation of her
sister's ,
For some time neither witnesses nor ovl-
dcnco excited Interest. When young August
Pfoffor , a thorough typo of the Parisian
gamin , appeared In the box and cast a
glance of his piercing eyes around the court
nnd repeated the oath , there was a revival of
attouliou. August explained thaton the night
of the murder his father sent him for wine ,
nnd that us bo pas-tod the Widow Jean's
house ho had soon the door opened
and a man outer. Then the door was
closed and Pfoffor heard a noise , a kind of
scream. He was afraid and ru'i homo , The
Witness continuing said :
' 'Next morning I was told thut Mine. Joan
had bcdn killed und I said to my mother it
was the man I saw. The man was dressed
in black , with u t > ott cup and a little bit of
board. "
"Do you know that man ! " said the Judge ,
pointing to Lnmlnotto.
August had been casting side glances nt
the prisoner while giving the preceding part
of his evidence. Ho now faced him and
scrutinized him from head to foot. The
yqungstor scorned to bo conscious of the
nnxicty with which his response was awaited ,
for ho took several iiilnu' . ' * ore ho said ha
did not recognize the prisoner.
As the iiogntivoloft the boy's lips , Lnmln- '
o'.to's chest guvo a great heave and. ho hid
face m his bauds. The ludge , In accordance
with the role assigned him by French leu'nl
procedure , refused to bo thus easily satisfied ,
"Was the board of thu man you saw like
the prisoner's ! " ho asked.
"No " August's ' "it
, wus answer ; was
blacker , andluui quite sure. " he added In re
ply to u second question.
"The prisoner's beard may have grown
lighter since November 13. " the Judge was
beginning , when murmors of protest from
the spectators caused him to desist. Ho
cowled nt the oourt as it would like to sen
tence thu occupants en masse to prison or
the guillotine und continued bin cross-ques
tioning. Time utter time Augusto declared
that Lamlnotto was not the man ho saw go
Into the house , and tlmo after time the mag.
istrato stubbornly returned to the charge.
Ho twisted the youngster's words , frowned
nt him und brusquely interrupted him. Ho
also read the boy's evidence before the judge
of instruction when Augusto , ho said , de
clared Lamlnotto wus the man he saw go
into tbo widow's houso. But all la vain ,
Augusto Pfetfor could not bo brought to say
yes or no.
Several times the public protested
In BO far as It dared ut the obsti
nacy with which the president tried to ex
tort from the boy witness on admission
ngalnst the prisoner. One indignant specta
tor oven went so far as to whisper to a .re
porter : ' 'It the Judge to get u reward if ho
has Lamlnotto found guilty 1"
When Pfcffor left the dock It was felt that
lie. had saved the prisoner's head , and the
presumptive evidence for the prouccutlon af
terward adduced full flat. It turned on the
fact of Lamluolto having bought the house
shortly after tha widow' ' * death , but thcro
was. no material evidence to disprove his as *
tcrtion that the house in question hud been
purchased out of his own savings ,
Itamlnctto Acquitted.

ACCIIIXCITOX , England , March 8. [ Now
York Herald Cable Special to THE BEG. ]
The details of the Burcholl case published
by the Herald have been copied In the Lan
cashire evening papers and caused quite a
sensation in Kust Lancashire , where the
Burcholl family Is well known and hlgnly re
spected ,
Further Inquiries were made today with a
view ascertaining whether or not the man
under arrest realty belongs to the Church
nnd Lancashire BIrchall family , but with
out success. The Church police have hoard
nothing about thu matter save what has ap
peared in the Herald , and nn inquiry at the
local pOBtofllco has confirmed the informa
tion published in the Herald that the Birch-
alls at Church were the rector utiO his fam
ily. .
The man In custody , it is hoped , Is not
Reginald BIrchall , although tbo belief is
pretty general that the surmise is a correct
ono of his relatives.
A Lancashire clergyman in an interview
today said ho did npt , know anything as to
'
the who'roabouts of Reginald. When ho last
beard from him , about two months ago , ho
was in London.
The town of Wnldon is thrown into a state
of exceptional excitement by the nnnounca-
inent that young Pulley , son of the vicar ,
has BO narrowly escaped the fate of Ben-
well.
I have had an Interview with Rev. Raymond
mend P. Policy , the father. The reverend
gentleman expressed deep sympathy with the
family of the murdered man , whom ho said
his son was unacquainted with. When
asked how to explain how his son
became acquainted with Burcholl ho said :
"For some time my son had been seeking
employment uud seeing the advertisement in
the paper ho answered it and received an
answer from an ugency und was introduced
by Burcholl. "
"What was said by him as to his prospects
in Canada } "
"Well , I understand that Birchall repre
sented to my son that ho was the owner of
two or throe farms near Niagara Falls , but
that tiift chief occupation was the supplying
of Canadian lines of railway with horses
and dealing in horses generally. After car
rying on u correspondence for some days my
son was invited to visit Burcholl , who was
staying at tliohouse -of his father-in-law at
Norwood. From whai ho saw there and
heard from other sources ho was Induced
to believe that Burchcll , who told him that
bo was a Harrow and Oxford man , was act
ing In a perfectly straightforward way , and
ho therefore ugrcud to accompany him for a
year to Canada , to help him in his business ,
und to have a share of the profits. "
' Was your sou a friend of young Bon-
wolli"
"No ; until n few days before they loft
England ho had never heard of him , nor was
ho till then certain that ho was going with
them. Burcholl Introduced him as a young
man who wanted to travel with them , hav
ing been committed to his charge.
"I wish particularly to add that my son
bud never boon In Canada before , and that
wf.athas appeared in some papers about his
possible Identity witn a man of the name of
Dudley Is not corcct. My son Is well known
at Cambridge , of which university ho is a
prtxduuto. Ho was recently promoted to the
rank of Major of the Third Essex volunteers.
Stories having been circulated that the
London police were cognizant of the axis-
tonco of u gang of desperadoes whoso .object
Is to Inveigle young Englishmen of means to
Canada nnd there murder them for their
money , and that Scotland Yard authorities
had determined to dispatch an ofileor to Can
ada with the object of gleaning Information ,
caused n Herald correspondent to cull nt the
headquarters of the London police and en
quire OB to the authority of thcso reports.
He was informed by Mr. Macnagliten , ono
of tha heads of the department of criminal
Investigation , that there was "not n particle
of truth In tbo statements. "
"Tho fact Is , " no said , "In the ordinary
course of things we have nothing
to do witli such affairs as this Canadian
murder. Of course if Canadian police make
inquiries as to the antecedents of English
men they have in custody and apply to us ,
wo give them all the knowledge In our
power , but In the case In question , I do r.ot
anticipate we shall hoar from thorn at all.
It is not as if Bouwell disappeared botwcon
this country and Canada. That would ho
different. Hut when n man is truccd to an
other country , where ho lives for some tlmo
and Is afterwards found murdered , our con
nection with the mutter is qulto at an omL
"I do not oven know If tula llurcholl is an
[ Englishman. If not , the probability of our
having anything to do with the case is remoter
meter still.
"So far you have received no communi
cation at all on the RUbJcct from the
Dominion police ! '
"None whatever. All I know about the
murder Is what I have seen In thu Herald. "
"Tho statement goes on to say thai within
the last ulna mouths two cases of mysterious
disappearance t\vore reported to Scotland
yards from Canada , ono of a , young man
from Cheshire and the other that ot a farm
er's son living near Shrewsbury. "
"Is that so ) I have hoard nothlngof them.
In fact I can say positively no one hero hasr
beard anything about them and the office
who is to leave London tonight for Canada
is purely mythical. Ho does not exist. "
Another Oroonhorn All
WOODSTOCK , Out. , March 8. Now and
en ! t'ioiml developments are cropping up in
connection with tbo Honwell tragedy and
the question now Is whether there has not
boon at least two victims.
Two or three years ago a young
Englishman , Neville II. Plckthnll , came
here , purchased , a farm six miles south , and
about fourteen months ago married thu
daughter of the minister.
On February 10 Pickthall raised JIO.OOO
by a mortgage on his farm and left hero ,
saying to his wife : "lam going to double
this money before I come back. "
He was aeon at Niagara Falls that nljht |
and laid ho was going to Now York to meet
bis sister , The testimony In the Burcholl
examination thawed that ho rcuoliod New
York and thcro met Burchell. Since then
no trnco of him has been found nnd no word
received from him , The theory now Is that
ho was enticed to Now York by Burchell
with the expectation of making n largo sum
of monuy and was put out of the way for the
money ho carried With him ,
Vordlat of iho Cor-vuirV Jury.
PJUNCETO.V , Ont. , March . " -riio coroner's
jury has rendered n verdict finding Bcnwoll
came to his death by the hands of Regi
nald Burchcll , ai.d they Implicate , his wife
as having a cullty knowledge of the crime
after Its commission.
Thcro was little difference of opinion by
the juror.n as to the question of guilt , the
only question being whether or not a verdict
should be given In the absence of the pris
oners.
That portion of the verdict finding Mrs.
Burchell nn accessory after the fuel is criti
cised. Under the law of Canada a wife can
not bo punished for shielding a husband and
it is assorted therefore that Mrs. Burcholl
cannot bo made accessory after the fact in
the general sense of tha term.

PATHS , March 8. ( Now York Herald
Cable Special to TUB BEE. I "To wear the
blouse or not to wear the blouse , " that was
the question which came up at the chamber
this afternoon. Other subjects were dis
cussed also in tbo course of the , sitting , such
as the Dahomey complications , thd budget
and the sale of explosives , but the unique
feature of thn occasion was whether or not
it was allowable for ono of the horny-handed
tellers of this republic to enter parliamentary
precincts clad in the homely garb in which
ho is wont to earn his daily broad. M.
Baudry Dasson , n sturdy huntsman and
staunch conservative , Jroso in anger
and declared that an Insult
bad been ottered to the sacred
right of the p'oople , and then proceeded to
dllato.upon the following incident :
It appears that some days ago thorp ar
rived in Paris from the wilds of historic
Vendee a gentleman who , in the course of.
his peaceful pastoral existence , had never
como to an appreciation of the moral and
material of a boiled shirt , starched collar ,
or orthodox coat , Ho had gene through life
thus far arrayed m that blue night shirt ,
style of Germans , known in Franco as a
blouse. This has always boon good enough
for the finest Vondoan society , and the
stranger did not see why it should shock
Pans , or even the chamber of deputies. So
with the tails of his blouse flying freely in
the breeze , ho applied on Thursday to
the Palais Bourbon , but applied
in vain. Sauntering up to the big doors
with the assurance of a latter-day repub
lican , ho informed the gold and red-llvoricd
doorkeeper that ho had come to hear the
interpellation. At tins the man in livery
voluntorod the information that interpella
tions were not for people in blouses. The
citizen of Vendee got angry , and the door
keeper prudently sent for an ofileor , who
Had the persistent gentleman put out ,
blouse and all , In spite of the fact that ho
bore on his person a card of admission
signed by the deputy of his department , M ,
Baudry Dassou. M. Baudry Das-
son therefore thought it his duty
(
to protest against this arbitrary
act in the name of the might and majesty of
universal suffrage. Ho did protest , while
the chamber laughed until its sides ached.
The speaker expressed profound regret that
ho had not thought of changing clothes with
his friend , as thcro was already in the
chamber ono deputy ( Tnurior ) who always
were a blouso. He supposed that the same
privilege in the matter or wearing apparel
would bo accorded to him as a colloaguo.
Besides , ho did not see why tbo garment
should bo allowed on parliamentary Douches'
nnd forbidden In the galleries.
After some further discussion it was de
cided to refer tbo question of dross to the
bureau do questions.
The general opinion in the lobby was that
just as evening dross was prescribed at halls
and opera , so was it right and proper that a
becoming attire should bo do rigonr in iho
national assembly.
The question of clothes disposed of , the
discussion turned upon the situation of tno
French troops in Dahomoy. The govern
ment was asked what measures it proposed
taking to protect the national dignity. M.
Etienne , under secretary of state , replied
that while It was not the intention of iho
government to undertake tbo conquest of
Dahomey , tho.v proposed asking for an ap
propriation Rufllcient to take ouorgetio
measures against the enemy , and to teach
him a lesson which would make him loss

also will bo presented aiming to control

signed to replace the anti-socialist law.
It is Impossible to foresee how tbo hotro-

The official expectance is that tbo projects

Although the clerical press Is reserved on

cent Catholic congresses in favor of foreign
Intervention at Rome. The first terms asked

The emperor's speech at Brandenburg
Wednesday continues to czclto the greatest
public interest. The ofllcial version in the
North Gorman Gazette instead of modifying ,
intensifies the emperor's declaration of
absolutism. In a most remarkable passage
ho said : "
' I sco in the people and the land Intrusted
to mo by God a talent which , as tuo bible
says , it is my duty to increase. I mnan with
all my strength to so trade with my talent
that I will bo enabled to add many another
thereto. Those who help me I heartily wel
come ; these who oppose mo I dash to
pieces. "
All classes of paporsla'ro commenting on'
this according to their political views. The
Pomeranian Rolchapost 'urges ' the emperor
to establish a dictatorship , other papers
advise the supression of universal suffrage
'and the suspension of the sittings of the
rolchstag if the opposition bocotno violent.
The conservative Post -halls the speech as
consonant xvitb the spirit that has always
animated the k'ngs ' of Prussia. Other con
servative papers commpnd It as the promise
of a vigorous rubs , leadng ( to a stpong homo
and foreign policy that will save Germany
from , tbo impotence of parliamcntry govern
ments like that of Franco.
The liberals value the speech as placing
under a white light the character of a mon
arch who dooms himself the solo arbiter of
the nation's destinies , ignoring the fact that
the various cartios in the rclchstag want to
carry out tbolr own ideas and not his , and
wtio Is foolish enough to threaten to dash the
people to pieces on the eve of the meeting of
n parliament In which the government will
face a hostile majority. The imperial
threats Una an echo among the ultra' con
servatives.

THIS "MAIDKN" OP I)1'ATI1. !
Two French Murderers Executed in
Purls.
[ Cnpi/rfo/it / 1800 bu Jamts Cordon Hcnnct * . ]
PAIUS , March 9. | Now York Herald
Cable Special to TUB Bni.J : In the gray
dawn this morning the guillotine did its ter
rible work in the Place do la Rouquotte.
Tbo execution was a double ono , Hoboat and
Jean Trouto , the murderers of Concierge In
the Uuo I3onauarto , both paying the penalty
of their crlmo.
The details of the murdsr will yet bo
fresh In the memory of the Herald readers
and do not need moro than the briefest re
capitulation. On the afternoon of July 15 ,
18S9 , W enlo Kuhn was strangled in her
room. For nearly a week the police were at
a loss , but finally they were put on the track
of three young men named Hoboat , Jean
Trouto and Pillot , by the indlcatuvr ,
who succeeded in inducing the precocious
rascals to recount their crime to him. Ho
boat , the oldest of the band , was only twen
ty-one years old , and his accomplices but
seventeen years of ago. Roboat and Jean
Trouto wcro found guilty and condemned to
death , while Piilet escaped with a sentence
of ton yours' Imprisonment. Despite the
youth of the condemned pair M. Carnet had
boon udvlsed.not to exorcise his prerogative
of reprieve , Vith a view to striking terror
Into the lioarts of the criminals who infest
" " " ' * ' * '
the capital. T'
The execution ot Jenn fouto is , I believe ,
the only instance of the death sentence being
carried out in tbo case of a youth of seven
teen ( inco the revolution.
As usual the news of the executions spread
likq Greek flro among the refuse of the
capital last evening , and the Place de la
Koquctto was from midnight invaded by
choice selections of tlio criminal classes of
the population. Shortly before 2 n. m. the
"dolblo's" assistants made their exits from
the prison gate with the "hoys do justice , "
which was speedily stood up against the
leaden sky , a subject for the coarse jests of
the crowd to which it should have been a
warning. Mcanwnllo the soldiers and police
had cleared the square and drawn cordons
across the streets converging thereto. Just
as day broke the prison gates
wcro thrown onon a second tlmo and
the procession headed and closed by soldiers
and consisting of government officials , the
chaplain , tbo condemned youths and the ex-
cutioner moved slowly to the guillotine.
The younger of the two was the first to
bow his neck beneath the fatal Unife and
within what scarcely seemed a few seconds
his companions bead had fallen into the bas
ket. Then thn throbbing corpses were placed
in the van and driven off. Water and
sDongos were employed to efface the blood
stains. The historic guillotine was taken
down and the crowd slowly dispersed.
"It is not possible that orders will bo given
to execute mo , " said Jcantroux , the younger
of the two prisoners , to the jailors lust oven-
ing. "The president will never allow a
young man ot savcntoon to bo guillotined.
I shall bo eent to New Caledonia at hard
labor and I shall bo able to got along all
serene. "
The young reprobate dropped oil to sleep
at about 6 o'clock , probably to dream of an
enchantress in Now Caledonia. Ho was
awakened at ton minutes past six this morn
ing by the eovernor of iho prison , who ap
prised him of the forthcoming execution
and bndo him prepare to dlo with courage.
"I am not afraid , " replied Jaun-
troux , though his . trembling limbs
boiled his words. After drinking n glass of
rum ho asked to benvotj ' to smoke his
pipe , and o bid farewell to Rlbot , both of
which requests were refused titn. | So it
was with Klbot , who asked the
governor if his accomplice was also
to die. Not receiving an answer
ho bogged to bo allowed to see him.
"Not possible , " ho repealed after tuo gov
ernor. "I do not sea why my request should
bo rofusod. I cau'tseo Jcantroux before my
neck Is cull1' ' ho added. Jeantroux was , as
stated , the first to bo placed under the fatal
knife. As ho made his exit from
the prison gates ho was trembling
like a leaf and his limbs seemed scarce able
to support him , liesldo the scaffold ffu effu
sively embraced the prison chaplain , Abba
Fuuorc , and twice pressed his lips against
the crucillx. "Gooa-by to my mother , " bo
said to the abuo , whoso cheeks were wet
with tears.
Rloot ( lied moro gamely than his younger
accomplice. As ho walked to the
gullotlne ho even tried to imilo ,
but the effort only resulted in horrible
rible contractions of his features. Ha was
able to control the physical repugnance
which had stiffened his predecessor's frame
and neck umlsr the pressure of the execu
tioners , and bent himself forward ever the
frame work on which the body , rests ,

ST. Louis , March 8. The latest advice *
from Oklahoma territory are to the effect
that not only scores but hundreds of prulrio
schooners filled with boomers hunting for
choice claims are moving over tlio Chorokco
strip In all directions , and single men and

claim to bo hunters , but who are really se
lecting land , are encountered dally. Moro
than half a dozen boomers' organizations
have been formed in Kansas and Oklahoma ,
and the boom Is on In dead earnest , and it Is
believed the government will find it very dif
ficult to suppress or even control it. Boom-
era are also collecting on the Iowa reserva
tion , cast of Oklahoma , and south of the
strip In great numbers. It Is believed the
Indian police who are under orders from
Chlof Mays to clear the strln , will bo totally
unequal to the tusk. A report Is in circula
tion that the colonists have made an agree
ment for n concerted movement to invade
