AMERICAN TELEGRAMS.

PARIS, December 16:1.

The trial of Michael Eyraud and Gabrielle Bompard for the murder of Gouffe began to-day, Great Interest was nivnifested to the case, and the court-room was densely crowded. During the reading of the indictment both of the delen- dants showed emotion. The president of the court gave with much detail thị bistory of Eyraud's career, showing him to have been a bad character since early boyhood. When Eyraud was brought to the stand.he narrated how Gabrielle proposed to entice Gouffs to her

· ́house, murder and rob hlm. · He gåve every detail of the crime, telling how Gauffe WAI silting down with Gabrielle os bia koce and fondling her when the noose with which he was strangled was thrown around his neck.

Gabrielle declared that all the detalla, of, the murder were planned by Eyraud, and that he Influenced her. In a collegay between the defen- dan's Eyraud maintained, that Gabrielle was throughout copnizṛnt of the intended murder. The woman stoully denied his assertions. Later Eyraud told of his visit to America in company with Gabrielle,. The latter asserted that when they arrived at San Francisco they were at the end of their resources, and that Eyraud contemplated murder and robbery with -view of gelling a fresh supply of funds. Eyraud

denied this,

Much of the interest centered in Gabrielle Hompard's testimony because of her claiming to have been under hypnotic influence. It was as follows:-

Question-You were born of good family, You had to be expelled from school owing to bad conduct and coarse language. Afterwärdy, "you were taken home, and there you had several Scandalous intigars." "You left home and came hero to Parls. When here you answered an advertisement offering a situation in a firm located at Fibourg Of this firm Erraud was partner. There you met him. How do you explain these relations between a girl of your age and a man old enough.to be your father?

Answer--Poverty is the cause of many things. Q-Eyraud has just told us that he made your acquaintance on the boulevards, where you were a dissolute woman.

A.It is false ; I came to him only through En advertisement that I answered, offering au honorable situation.

Q-After securing this position you would never do anything. You read noveli, smoked, allowed him to take you to houses of bad repute. He often heat you because of your misconduct with other men. Why did you not leave this man ?

A. (sobbing)—Bu*, Monsieur President, I could not leave him, he bad so great an influence over mc.

THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, SATURDAY, JANUARY 17, 1891.

Gabrielle exclaimed. excitedly: "I followed

him of my own free will !"

Eyraud--I should like to know how she came

to give herself to the police.

Gabrielle-That is simple. 'I jumped foto a cab and went to the police office.

At this point the girl west into a fit of hysterics and was caurled from the room.

BERLIN, December 14th..

The transfer of Dr. Koch's lymph-making est- abishment to the State is nearly arranged. Dr. Koch receives one million marks down and another million from the yearly profits on the sales of the lymph.

LONDON, Decembar ngib.

The Archbishop of York is dead. Messrs, O'Brien and Gil land at Boulogne today. Mr. Justin McCarthy is already there. Mr. Parncil meets Mr. O'Brien in a few days in Paris.

Mr. Justin McCarthy, who was. Interviewed yesterday, sald that the action the anti-Parnellites will take depends on the result-of-the-con- ference between Messrs. Parnell and. O'Brien; but he believes that a reunion of the party was impossible...

The strike on the ́ Scotch railways is causing an immense block of passenger and goods traffic and the chies in Scotland are suffering from a scarcity of food and coals.

LATER,

The Scotch railway strikers-now-number 9,000. Many Scotch factories are closing for want of fuel.

December 26th.

It is much feared that if the strike in Scotland continues there will be a total cessation of labour there before the end of the week. The miners will soon have to stop work, the coal mine owners being unable to obtain waggous to transport their coals.

December 27th.

A serious assault was made yesterday in Edinburgh by a striker on the driver of an ex- press train in the Midland Company; who was severely injured.

Mr. O'Brien arrived in Paris last night.

Two lepers at Madrid have been inoculated at their own request with Dr. Koch's lymph, and are doing well. A similar experiment has been made at Vienna with a favourable result in the case of tubercular leprosy, but the lymph is use- less in leprosy of the smooth type.

December 28th,

Dr. Pean, a Parisian doctor, -bas obtained ex- ∙cellent results from the use of Dr. Koch's lymph

in laryngeal diseases, and pronounces decidedly in favour of its use in the treatment of such CASES.

The Daily News congratulates the Indian National Congress on its Indian representative character, and expects that good will result there from in gradually educating the masses in the idea of future self-government.

Q-You know to the contrary. If you cannot presept a better argument than that to a jury I don't think they will believe you. Eyraud main- tain that you gave hith the idea of the crime,

The witness admitted that she bad bought the box and cards, hut did not know what was to be done with them. She made the sack without knowing what Eyraud intended to do with it. If she refused to do as Eyraud told her to do he would have beaten her that night. Sid Gabrielle : "I dined with Eyraud at the restaurant. After that I purchased the box and | £1,200 was stolen. card, but Eyraud did not tell me his intention tỡi”-- commit the crime' until after we reached home. Then it was impossible for me to give the alarm; for Eyraud threatened to kill me also it I did.

Q-But why did you not give Gouffe warning when you opened the door to let him in ?

Because that would have been Impossible. When Gousfe; came he walked right in and sat

down on the sofa to talk with me." Eyraud, who

14.

was hidden behind the bed, tried to throw the noose over the man's head, but failing to do so, Gouffe turned ickly to see what was going on behind him, and Eyraud knocked him down and strangled him with his hands. I screamed aloud, and there were neighbours who, I believe can testify to baving heard me.

Eyraud was brought into court to listen' to

Gabrielle's cross-rxumination. She continued: "After the murder Eyraud took off all of Gouffe's clothing and cut up the body, put the pleces into a trunk and left the house, leaving me there alone with it,"

Q-When Eyraud strangled Gouffe he did it with a cord, and as he was setting the body in a chair you said to him, "Pull him up again," and you sald this because Gouffe's eyes were looking at you and you saw he was not dead ?

A-DH I say that ?*

"Yes, you'Bald ju ́t that," said Eyraud. Gabrielle went on: "The day after the murder I went to Lyons with the corpse of Gouffe in the trunk. Upon returning to Paris I went back to my apartment to get Eyraud's hát, be baving taked Gouffe's away by mistake."

Gabrielle's testimony for the day ended here. There are about forty witnesses to be examined, and the case may last a week.

་

Later,

The trial of Michael Eyraud and his former mistress. Gabrielle Bompard, for the murder of Notary Gouffe, was continued to-day.

Eyraud persisted in his statement that Mile, Bompard conceived the details of the crime and that she passed the noose around the victim's neck while the latter was fonding her at her home.

Mile. Bompard denies all Eyraud's statements and alleges that the part she took in the crime was due to the influence exerted over her by Eyriad.

During the proceedings Mile. Bompard was seized with a violent fit of hysterics and was carried, screaming and kicking, from the court- room. When she returned later she was very

The Pan-American Conference will meet at

Washington on the 17th of January to citablish a Monetary Union with a silver coin common to all. All the Republies will be represented with the exception of Uruguay, Paraguay, and Guatemala.

Mr. O'Brien vehemently denies the statement made by The Timer, that he wrote an article in Patrick Ford's paper when in America,

The traffic on the Scotch railways is improv ing slightly. The employees are now housed on the railway premises, and are protected by the police from those on strike.

Garanger said that he was returning from Japan when he met Eyraud and Gabrielle at Vancouver and afterward in San Francisco.

I antid: Let us go to the Prefect of Police,' and 'Gabrielle consented.

Garanger was evidently striving to save his reputation. Eyrand's brother-in-law was sent for to confront him, in pursuance of the President's promine made early in the day. He swore that Garanger came to him for 50,000 francs, Gar. anger, however, swore that he did not.
