HUNTED TO HIS DEATH.
An extraordinary crime was committed in Lisbon at eleven o’clock on a recent morning in one of the most crowded streets. The chief actors were two men well known in Lisbon commercial circles, One of them was the husband of a young and beautiful woman, and the other his greatest friend, whom the first had discovered to be his wife’s lover. The betrayer was literally hunted to his death by the husband through crowded streets, up staircases, and into offices, falling finally in a stranger’s house with a bullet through his heart. The assassin walked up to the body, turned it over, and said calmly; “It is he; he has his reward.” Then he turned away and gave himself up to the police.
