A WOMAN'S TERRIBLE SECRET.
Some seven years ago three Belgian workmen were tried and found guilty of having committed a series of crimes, among them the murder of an old lady at Hautmont. Although they pleaded innocence until the last, one of them w?s sentenced to imprisonment for life and the other two were guillotined. Now a woman named Soumagne has just denounced her husband, who she says commuted these. She is said to be quite sane, and the authorities are investigating her charges. When Degroot, one of the men who was executed, was bein» pinioned he caused some sensation by saying, " You cannot tie all of me. You will not have my immortal soul, and you will-he punished ior all the wron° you. have done to me." How true this was remains to be seen, and it is certain to cause much excitement.
