Ho bad boon there only a short timo when be rushed out with a wild look of fear upon Ids face, with his clothing stained with blood that was pouring from wounds on bis body. To some neighbors who Were pausing he declared that when be wen into the room he found Father Blan- del In an excitable mood. Hardly any words bad been exchanged between them when the priest drew a revolver and fired tbree times at Mazzieri. As tho latter fled from the room he beard another shot and beard the priest fall. From this be Inferred that Father Blandel had killed hlmseif. Some of tho people who heard tho story ran to tho house nnd entered They found the body of the priest’s sister In one of the rooms wber she had been murdered. The hotly of Father Blandel was found on tbo floor of his room. Police were summoned as was also a doctor, who upon exam ination pronounced Mnzzleri's wound mortal, adding that he had but a few hours to live. There are many theories afloat to account for tho affair. One Is that tho priest had become Insane nnd killed his sister, that when he sum moned Mnzzleri to his rooms it was with the intention of killing 1dm. then commtthig suicide. Another theory is that Mazzler Is himself the criminal. Those who support this latter theory say that Father Blandel had a small sura of money in the house, that in try ing to get in possession of it the labor er killed the priest and hi* sister. But It is said that Mnzzleri even had ho attempted to rob his employer an I had murdered him nnd bis sister, upon being discovered would nrtt have in flicted a fatal wound upon himself.
