TELL-TALE BANK NOTE.
CAUSES MURDERER'S ARREST. (Received 0.30 a.m.) PARIS, February 26. A twenty franc note with the corner torn off was responsible for the arrest of Louis Bourgido on a charge of murdering Madeleine Revilain, who was found strangled in her bedroom at Rouen. The woman had presented the note at a cafe earlier in the day, when it was refused because it was torn. When Bourgido appeared with the note later on the cafe keeper's suspicions were aroused, and in reply to a question, Bourgido confessed to the murder. —(A. and X.Z. Cable.)
