Se or eo ee ne a THE MYSTERIOUS DEATHS AT CAS- TELLANE. {From the Records of a French Detective] I had some renown as a successful rogue- entcher, and I had some experience, too. My field of operations, as a usual thing. lay within the confines of the Department of the Lower Alps; and though I served under the Sub- Prefect of the Third Arrondisemont, yet the Prefect of the Department called upon me when he chose. One morning—it was in the Iatter part of May—I received a note from the Prefect. ordering me to come to Digne, and see hin with all possible dispatch. The missive came through the offices of our Sub-Prefeet, so I bad nothing to do but get ready and start. I took an early dinner; assumed the dress of a asant; browned my face and hands. and set orth. [reached Digne just at nightfall, and Bs svon as it was dark I waited upon the Pre- fect. He seemed to be relieved when be saw me, and at once took mo to his private closet “Now,” said I, “have you got work for um “Yes.” he lied, ‘sit down and listen.”’ We sat do and having tasted a glass of wine, he proceeded : * Within a few months past, there have been some of the most mysterious murders committed in this Departmeni, and the De- nt of Var, that have ever come under They are done. mostly, on the road from Castellane to Aups. The first vie- tim was a Marseilles merchant, who had come up to Casteliane to purchase preserved fruits His body was found on the roadside, near the line between the two Depariments; and at first it was supposed that he must have fallen there aud died in a fit, as no mark of violence could be found upon him. His pockets had boen titled. however. The next one was found near Annot, and under the same cireumstances. He was a merchant also. and from Nico. Since then five or six more have died upon the road in the sa: ysterious way; and no marks of ill-u ‘¢ been found upen any of them; but they have all been robbed.” “Have most of them stopped at Castellane?”’ T asked The Prefect told me that they had. “And I supposo they must have put up at some inn there ’”’ I remarked. « Yes." said the Prefect. I then supposed that some of the landlords must be concerned. Bui my companion in- formed me that they had been narrowly wateh- ed. and that no shadow of evidence rested agaiost them. ~ But,’ said I, ‘is there not some ter’? Some innkeeper may administer - 4nd then send an accomplice after this m the po: the ma. “ “returned the Prefect with a shake of the head. -+ Experienced physicians have ex- amined the stomachs of several of the dead men, but ne trace of poison has been found. It iss mysterious affair, The Sub-Prefeet has done all be could. but without effect; and now we mean te give the whole thing into your hands. You must go to Castellane at once. and there you can get such further infurmation as the Sub-Prefect can give you. After conferring a while longer with the Prefect. he let me have a suit of ordinary tradesman’s clothing; and thus habited, IT went to a hotel and put up for the night. In the morning I procured a horse and set out. reaching Castellane before noon. During the day I pretended to be doing business. I went to the woolen factory and examined a lot of stuff: and also visited several places where preserved fruits were put up. I learned that most of the people who came there on business stopped at an inn kept by aman named Juan Fontaix: so I left my horse there, and engaged lodgings After dark I called upon the Sub-Prefeet He told me that he had used all the means within his power, but had been able to gain no clue te the guilty party. Most of the mur- dered victims fad been from Marseilles, and the excitement in that city was intense. Gen- darmes had been sent cut upon all the roads, and secret police had also beeu upon the watch. ‘The last victim had fallen o four days be- fore, and the deed was do! fifteen minutes after the policemen had passed the spot Lasked the Sub-Prefiet if b ne had any sus- iciou: Me answered that ail the suspicions he bad held was fastened upon Juan Fontaix, the innkeeper. Nearly sl! the murdered men had stopped at his house. and he must have known something of their business. I bade the officer keep perfectly quiet. and not even to let one of his men know of my pre- sence. Then [ retarned to the inu, and finally entered into a conversation with my host apun the subject of the mysterious deaths. He pro- nounced it wonderful. and assure? me that it had injured him more than he could tell Parblea!”’ he exciaimed, ‘they'll be sus- me next, if they have not done so a!- pect ready.” I was soon satisfied that Juan Fontaix knew nothing of the guilty party. He was very fear- ful. and at times blanched and trembled at the thought of being apprehended for the crime Most people would have seen in this signs of guilt; but I thought difforently. I spent all of the next day in the town, os- tensibly engaged in business with the factories but in reality bunting some clue to the object of my mission. Night came again. but I had found nothing new. I was perfectly satisfied that t nurdever had laid his plans so deeply that reumstantial clue could be found. If I would find him I must extch him with the proof upon him. I had given an assumed name at the inn, and stated that [ belonged to Toulon. On the next ng [ called for my bill, and informed my that I was off for home. Then I went to the fruit preserver’s, and told him the same, slating that [ must confer with wy partner be- tore f concluded any bargain. After thi went to the w n factory and saw the bu: hess agent. His name was Louis Cazaubon, and he had come to Castellane about a year be- fore. He seemed to be a straightforward busi- hess man. and yet he was the only one I had sven whom I really wished to suspect. In con- Versing upon the murders he had been a little tov free and off-handed. treating the subject lor: iy than s man with a heart would he apt to do. wt still I had, thus far, been able to find nothing against him. Un the present vecasion I told him. as I had told the others, that I mus: retarn to Toulon. “Tf you have not the ready money with you, We can gite you credit.’ he said. I told bim f had plenty of money, but I was not Lar prepared to pay tho prices he had de- mand« Ils said “ Very weil; and added that he should be happy to sell to me when I came again. I bade him good day, and then departed. As soon as I was alone, | began to suspect Monsieur Louis Cazaubon in earnest. Whon I told him that I had money, but did not purchase because he charged me too much, why did'ut he banter me’ Simply because he me to leave i \ i pocket. At least so it appeared tome. This Was sufficient ground fur me to work upon, and f resolved to watch the man a little while; so I rode tu an out-of-the-way | poste. and left my horse. and then returned and concealed myself jo & position where [ could see the movements of Louis Cazau To s few minutes he came t from bis tury and walked away. His step was hurried and eager. I felt sure that he was not the man who did the direet work of death. The » or than that. or he would have t ere this. So I re- tolved to wait » while and see if be returned I would have followed him if I coald have done so with safety; but he might have detected me. and that would not do. Mewiiee: in less than fifteen minutes he came. He walked now with x sober, innocent sir It seenied to say, “Oh! Thave'ut beeu up to any mischief, as you can ree I saw Cazaubon at hia desk again, and then I returned to my horse. Iknew that I hada Tisk to rv w. bat I was ready for it. If the factory agent was at the bottum uf the crime, und meant to have me rubbed, he had alresdy vet his machibery in motion, and the next de- Yelopment would be upon the road. I ex- rene Evening ~ Star. amined my pistols and then left the town, taking the road along the river, towards Aups. At the end of half an hour I came to the Stopes of the Barjols mountains, and soon after- wards entered the wood. I now began to be Very careful, and keep my eyea about me. I will not say that I was wholly without fear; for the mysterious manner in which the mur- ders had done, verged so closely upon the marvellous. that a sort of superstitious dread attached to it. Had the victims been hot, or run through with a sword, or had their throats cut, I should have felt no sort of dread. But this was new ground. Death had come here, nobody know baw. It might have come from an invisible hand. and in dead silence. Yet, when I reasoned upon the subject. [ felt sure that the murderer must approach very near to his vietim ere the blow was struck, since it must be some direct and powerful agent that could cause death in so strange @ manner. Thad crossed the little cascade of Saint Es- prit, and was descending a short, steep, hill- side, when I saw a boy by the roudaide. at the foot of the descent, “engaged in whipping a mule. He wasa slightly built fellow, not more than fifteen years of age, and hia course gar ments were covered with meal. I knew that there was a mill upon a branch of the Verdun. not far back. and I supposed he might be the miller’s boy. As I came nearer, I saw a large suck upon the ground, close by where tho mule stood. “What's the matter, my boy ?”’ I asked, as I drew up near him. “This ugly mule has thrown both me and my bag of corn from his back,”* the boy answored. ‘Are you hurt ’”’ I continued. “My left shoulder is hurt,”’ he said, “and I can’t lift this sack. If Monsieur would help me, [ would be very grateful.’ Until this moment the idea of suspecting the boy had not entered my head; but the suspi- cion flashed upon me now. He was altogether too keen a looking fellow for a miller’sappren- tice. Ie gave me a glance from a pair of quick, sharp eyes, that meant more than he hac Spo- ken. And then, if I had not been very much mistaken, I had seen him holding his mule firmly with that left hand. T loaped from my saddle, and moved towards the boy, being earctul to watch his every move- ment. “Now.” said he. “if you will take hold of that end, we will put it on.” He lifted at the other end, and pretended that it hurt his shoul- der; and he begged of me to lift it on alone. I professed to be willing to comply, and stooped down for that purpose, keeping my head in such a position that I could waick hii by a sidelong glance. As I bent over and took hold of the ssck. I saw hiin carry his hand to his bosom, and draw something out. I saw his dark eye finsh. and heard his quick eager breathing. In an instant I ed his wrist, and bent it eR and as T did so. L heard a sharp report like the explosion of a percussion cap. and saw a tiny wreath of smoke curl up from the hand I held. He struggled to free himeelf from my grasp, but I held him with a grip of iron, and fastened my gaze upon hiin. “I've found you, have I?" I said, drawing one of my pistols and cocking it. +I will sim- ply inform you that [ am an officer of the Pre- fecture. and that I have been looking for you. Just offer a particle more of resistance and a bullet goes through your brain. Now give me that weapon.” The boy was frightened. and trembled vic- lently. “Itis only a tobacco pipe.’ he said, as he handed it to me. Ad certainly it looked like nothing more; but I had seen enough of it to know that evil was init. It appeared to me to be an ordinary meerschaum pipe, the bowl being colored as though by long use, only the smber mouth- piece was missing. I did not stop to examine it then, but turned my attention to its owner. I sates he was still trembling with fear, and ikuew that now would be the time to work upon him. So you are selling your soul to Mon r Louis Cazaubon’” I remarked, by way of let- ting him know that I was thoroughly iufurmed. © started, and I saw very plainly that he knew just what I mewnt: but Fe tried to re- cover himself, and clumsily asserted that he did uot know anything about the individual I had named. * You needn't lie to mo,”’ T sternly replied, “for I know all about it. Louis Cazaubon has been watched by me when he didn’t dream of such a thing. He thought I was a tradesman. But you sre young, and I would save you. Confess everything to me, and I promise you that your life shall be spared.” I saw that the boy wavered, and I followed up my advaniage; aud ere long I bad him bent tomy wishes. I made him understand that I held his life in my hands; that [ could protect him from the vengeance of any one whom he might criminate; and that he had everything to gain. and nothing to lose, by a full confes- sion. He came toit gradually and reluctantly; but my wit finally triumphed, and I gained the secret. His name, he said, was Henry Dupin. He was born in Paris, but never Saee who his parents were. He went to live with Cazaubon when quite young, and had been with him ever siuce. He said Cazaubou used to be achemist, and did some business in that line; and it was in Paris that he invented the infernal machine. which they had since used with such fatal ef- fect. About two years previous to the present time they left Paris together, and spent nearly a year iu traveling over the kingdom marder- ing and robbing fur a living. Finally they came to Castcllane, where the master obtained his present situation, while the boy went into millelose at hand. Cazaubon marked the vieti that were to be robbed, and the boy thea did the work. He used various artifices in carrying out his plan, but the usual one was the same that he had tried upon me. The boy then explained to me the secret of the pipe. Only the outer surface was as neers chaum. Within it was a pistol of the finest steel, and of the most exquisite workmanship. The stem was the barrel, and the lock was con evaled within the bowl, and covered with to bacco. A thin plate of metal protected the eu- riously contrived lock, and upon thia the tubsc- co rested. A pressure of the thumb or finger upon this plate discharged the weapon. In order to mals it, the plate had to be removed And now comes the infernal feature of the con trivance. The powder used in the little barrel was Cazaubon’s own manufacture, and Mi | powerful. For a wad a piece of felt was used, and on the top of this was placed the missile which did the mischief, The boy had two of them with him, stitehed up in the lining of hix cap. He took them out and showed them to me. This projectile was a tiny arrow, not lar- ger than scambric needle, with one end sear and the other beat down to a thin feather t was of fine steel, but coated with a greenish yellow substance, which was the most virulent and speedy pvison that the chemist’s art could concoct. That needle once within the course of the blood, and death was already at the heart. Its wounds no mortal eye could detect. Ii punctured the skin not so palpably as the piek ofa pin. He who sent it on its fatal errand made sure of his sim, generally striking the neck. and the victim would fall into insensibili- ty ere he could comprehend what bad burt hin. f returned to Castellane with the boy: and having left him in charge of the Sab-Prif--ct, I took » gondarme along with me, and went to the factory. Monsieur Cazaubon was surprised to see me back so soon; bat he was more sur- prised when I asked him to take a walk with me; and when I called in the gondarme, and bade him put the handcuffs upon the agent, he was Tay to sink to the floor. We had hima secured before he had sense enough to resist, and he was conveyed to the office of the Sub- Prefect without trouble. At first he denied everyti iag: but when he found that this would not avail him, he swore he would kill the boy. In due time Monsieur Louis Cazaubon was tried and condemned to death; and the Prefect of Digne took possession of tLe infernal ma- WASHINGTON, D. C., WEDNESDAY, APRIL 20, 1859. chine. Before the villain was executed hecon fessed his crimes—told how many years he had worked to perfect his fatal instrument. and ie duce the poison—and also owned that the 4 Henry had been driven to help him throug! fear of his life. So the raseal was executed Henry Dupin spent two years in confinement, and was then set free, and commenced an honest life. As for me, I got all the praise I deserved, and perhaps more. Atall events, I had done the country some service, and the people were not slow to acknowledge it. __ AUCTION SALES. y J.C. MeGUIRE & CO., Auctioneors. _ SUPERIOR CABINET Fre Master Sers.
