A WAXWORKS CLUE.

A few weeks ago M. Saiget, a baker, of St. Brieuc Brittany, called on the police commissary and declared that he had recognised the features of his long-lost brother in a wax figure exhibited n the town by a travelling showman. The ,figure--according t,Q.-t-li^hbW'lnan, was that -8f a''5 r OTTng man who was murdered some years ago in Paris. All efforts to trace the murderer proved futile. M. Saiget is now convinced that the body must have been that of his brother Edouard, who left his regiment about the time the crime was committed and has never been seen since. When the baker saw the wax head in the showman’s museum he was struck by its resemblance to his brother and particularly by a characteristic deformation of the lower lip. Besdies a wax cast of one of the hands bore the indication of a cut, and Edouard Saiget had on his hand the scar of a wound from a reaping hook. At the time of his disappearance the young man is believed to have had about £2OO. M. Saiget’s strange story is being investigated.
