FATE OF THE GOULDS.

'Nothing' is talked-about in Moritq Carlo and Monaco save, the result of tho trial of theGoolds for the murder of Mme. Levin, says the "Daily Mail"; correspondent, Public'.'opinion, rojoices savagely in tho senterico of death on Mrs., Goold.. / .It would bo still-more inflamed,.if it know what I have learnt to-day—that after the terriblo final scene in court the. condemned woman dined with her husband; ate'a, good meal, and cl|attcd all tho evening, It is certainly amazing . after tho 'utterly worn-out and misorablo -'appearance, sho presented during thoi trial. It is possible, however, that the, • relief from suspense brought .an . improvement in her nervous condition.. ' ; Tho couplo 1 were removed in tho small hours .of ! the morning from the courthouse to Monaco Prison. They embraced affectionately, and' went downstairs to the carriage arm-in-arm. _ \. '.. : 1 had'an inter,yiew' in tho 1 afternoon with •Me. Barbarin, Mrs. Goold's ; counsel, wlio said that she is better than sho, has been' for'wooks'past. She has' no-desira'to!. appeal' to a higher Court./- "Liot' 'them execute mo and finish all," she said. But sho knows well that an appeal,to the Prince of Monaco for mcrcy will succeed. Their future is not certain. Franco takes all Monaco's'convicts, and Goold.will probably lie sont to the penal colony ,of Cayenne and his wife/to a French prison. After a timo,. if tho conduct of both is good,': she will bo able to join him.-, Sho said in the course of. tho trial to her counsel, that, if her .husband were sent to. a -lunatic, asylum and she were acquitted,- as she hoped, sho could-make £80t) a year by dressmaking, get him out . soon, and "live ..happy ever after.": Sho may realise, her hope m Cayenne, where j dressmakers are - reported to be ,greatly in demand. - .•••
