ANOTHER CAVELL ATROCITY.
FRENCH NURSE MURDERED BY VON BISSIN& SPOKE HER MIND ABOUT GERMAN BARBARISM. PARIS, November 30. Confirmation has just been received in Paris of the murder of a/Frenchwoman, Mme. Moressee, by tlie Germars in Brussels. Tho crime was perpetrated in similar circumstances to that of Edith Cavell, and at about the Bame epoch, her execution having taken place on February 29th last. This victim of German barbarity was the wife of a Brussels journalist, and. according to a letter received from Holland by her relatives, who live near Paris, her ardent patriotism— she- was a nurse, like Edith Cavell, in a military hospital — had earned for her tho cruel spite of the . invaders. Charges were trumped up against her to give Vor, Bissing the long-sought pretext to bring her to judgment and execution. Mme. Moressee met her end heroically. She leave? a daughter, who is still in Brussels. M. Deguitne, father of Mme. Moressee, sfiys the news overwhelms, but does not surprise him. His daughter was of a frank, outspoken character, and he imagines that, revolted by some act of German brutality, she spoke her mind too fweely.
