When Ky raud. the murderer of Notary GouflV, was arraigned for examination examina-tion he admitted to the magistrate that he hai tried to kill himself by opening the veins in his arm and leg. "I have long been tired of life," he said, "and anxious to end this existence. Men arc so bad. I meant to kill myself at the time of my arrest and the one thing that I regret Is that I was prevented. The main tiling which drives me to suicide is the Initiation to me of crimes which I never dreamed of committing. Yes," ho cried, with animation, "men are very lad, worse than can bo imagined." Kyr.'iud is confined in ono of tbe strongest prisons of Havana. His cell Is very simply furnished with a cot In the center and a neat in the corner. The prisoner spends most of his time lying on the bed, or sitting ou its edge. His dress consists of a shiltj and a lair of white trousers, which lie never takes off. Two guards are always by him at each end of the bed. They carry no arms for fear that Kyraud might profit by a moment of Inattention to take a weapon from them and kill himself. Oub-lde the cell stands another guard, villi gun and bayoneL There is nothing noth-ing within Kyraud'a reach with which he could take lib own life. EVItAfll'S liKIIAVlOn has not varied since his arrest. He Is very discreet and aiisvversImply whatever questions are put to him. and is evidently anxious to avoid prolougcd conversation with his kee er. I to affects L I e resigned to the f'le which awaits him. "If there were no nicked men In the world," he eloquently says, there would be no need cf jollcc." Nevertheless, no one is deceived by this little piece of acting. It is easy lo see that Ky raud Is planning some involved method of suicideorescape. He closes his eyes, but not to sleep. He is constantly reflecting ou his mysterious projects. There Is one sul-Jcd, however, on which Kyraud seems much more inclined to talk freely than on any other. This is his intimacy with Gabrielle iiompard. Whether fruru cyncismor froma spirit of boasting to awaken interest by posing ni a victim of an overwhelming pax-ion-a'e love, Kyraud likes to ricoll the story cf his Intrigue. When tome one asked him if he did not bate Gabrielle lkimjard lcrause the had renouuccJ him, he said, "I Ijvc her tuore tlian ever. She Is the most in-toxicslli'g, in-toxicslli'g, mutt Cisciuallug woman I ever met. I was too happy with her to be able lo complain of the harm she has since done me." Then he told, with evident complacency, and in great detail, the story of his relations with "La Bomiard." A Hold Ilurzlar. lloSToS, May 29.

To this the burglar consented, and then, placing her In front of him, he directed her to lead him to the room of Ilemls. Once there she awakened the old gerjtiemar, but had some difficulty In making him understand the itito ofaQairs, as he is very dear. After a deal of screeching, screech-ing, however, he learned tbe object of the visit and began to offer resistance. re-sistance. The burglar threw him back on to the bed and held him down by sitting on him. In the scrimmage bo got his hands under one or the pillows and brought out a calico bag, which contained several thousand dollars, with bonds and stocks, most of them negotiable, besides be-sides a gold watch and two envelopes, en-velopes, In which there were about 5200 in hills.
