I am only a louse woman," said she, and yet F would never commit a lobbery." This declaration terrified the thieves, and to prevent the girl from denouncing them, they tesolved to kill her. Meantime the gendarmes ha ving obtained iutcimation of the robbery, commenced a search alter the thieves, and ada, or two after they made a descent in the public-house, which was one of notoriously bad character. One of the four persons was alrcsled on suspicion of being the thief. Not seeing Annette the gendarmes asked what had become of her, and the |'ublic- house keeper reptied that she had been spending somedays with her latnily, and had afterward- leit fur Kngland.

When (lie boy "s strange re- mark was mentioned to the gendarmes, they at once proci eded to aire,t his tailitr a!,d ino,l,er. They then called on him to tell ail he knew. lie said he knew nothin; and denied that lie 11-ed the language ascribed to htm. The gendarmes, to frighten him, placed haudcuff* on him arid threatened 10 convey him to prison.

I A anted to po in, but the per- sons who were there prevented me and the peasant, one of t b-m, pushed me away; and, after giving me lour sous, said d,)ii't watit you here are four sous; be off with you.' I went away. In the nicht the dead b oy of Anm tte was con- veyer) d'>wn stairs, and her muideieis deliberated as to what should he done with it. One suggested that it should he placed in a hole to be made in the wall, and that tl:e bole should be plastered up j this was objected to, on the gronnd that the fresh- ness ot the mo tar would attract attention, and that besides the corpse wonld cause a strong stench. At lenijth it was resolved to cut the body in pieces, to separate the flesh from the bones, to boil the flesh in a pot, and eive it to the pigs to eat, and to bum the bones to ashes. Tins was done. The bones, to pievent any smell, weie steeped in quicklime before they were burned. The pigs devoured the boiled flesh with voracity, and some of them died alter 'rein excess.
