The Paris correspondent of the New Orleans Delta recounts a dramatic intruder tale at Countess de 8’s mansion. A sharp, abrupt man demanded an audience, questioned servants, and escorted the cook Marie to the kitchen before the Countess, revealing the motive to extract a large payment and exposing Marie as a Toulon convict seeking a 100 pound sum. The Countess, initially wary, is saved by the intruder who then departs with formal politeness.
