as deputy ; but this does not apply where the person is arrested in flagrante delicle, and M. Hogues did not resist aft. r a word from his legal adviser. As ho pa?B3d through the assemblage of onlookes he remarked, “My wfe has killed that villain; she has done well and at the police commissionary’s office he i inhraced and congratulated her. M. Hugues has written poems, and is a man of very excitable temperament, while his wife is said to have been complaining that for two years Morin had been morally killing her. She is a fine looking and accomplished woman, and has twp little girls, one of whom was named Mireille, by desire of her godfather the Provencal poet Mistral. M. and Madame Hugues were taken to separate roomt, and were separately interrogated, the result being that the former was liberated. Morin, on arriving at the hospital, made signs that he wished to write, and with the left hand he traced on a sheet of paper the words “I am innocent. Mown.” Extreme unction was administered to him this afternoon. [Morin died next morning ] The affair has, of course, made a great sensation. In the lobbies of the Chamber there was some talk of questioning the Government as to the necessity of putting down private detective offices of the class to wlich Morin belonged.
