Investigations reveal a murder of a nobleman by his wife and her lover, whose concealment ends with discovery in a vault and execution. The story, claimed as official record, remains unverified.

Henry Bacon Among Top American Artists in Europe
Henry Bacon, who went to Paris in 1864 and joined Cabanel's studio, is now among the best known American artists in Europe. The Royal Academy exhibition drew ten thousand paintings and works, though space was limited to about 1,200. Meissonier’s new 1807 water-color, aided by government funds, showcases grand realism, including a cavalry squadron charging through a cornfield to study real horses and troopers in action.
