I
had
told
you
that
this
was
in
reference
to
Orion
,
formerly
written
Urion
;
and
,
from
certain
pungencies
connected
with
this
explanation
,
I
was
aware
that
you
could
not
have
forgotten
it
.
It
was
clear
,
therefore
,
that
you
would
not
fall
to
combine
the
ideas
of
Orion
and
Chantilly
.
That
you
did
combine
them
I
say
by
the
character
of
the
smile
which
passed
over
your
lips
.
You
thought
of
the
poor
cobbler
's
immolation
.
So
far
,
you
had
been
stooping
in
your
gait
;
but
now
I
saw
you
draw
yourself
up
to
your
full
height
.
I
was
then
sure
that
you
reflected
upon
the
diminutive
figure
of
Chantilly
.
At
this
point
I
interrupted
your
meditations
to
remark
that
as
,
in
fact
,
he
was
a
very
little
fellow
--
that
Chantilly
--
he
would
do
better
at
the
Theatre
des
Varietes
.
"
Not
long
after
this
,
we
were
looking
over
an
evening
edition
of
the
"
Gazette
des
Tribunaux
,
"
when
the
following
paragraphs
arrested
our
attention
.
"
Extraordinary
Murders
.
--
This
morning
,
about
three
o'clock
,
the
inhabitants
of
the
Quartier
St.
Roch
were
aroused
from
sleep
by
a
succession
of
terrific
shrieks
,
issuing
,
apparently
,
from
the
fourth
story
of
a
house
in
the
Rue
Morgue
,
known
to
be
in
the
sole
occupancy
of
one
Madame
L'Espanaye
,
and
her
daughter
,
Mademoiselle
Camille
L'Espanaye
.
After
some
delay
,
occasioned
by
a
fruitless
attempt
to
procure
admission
in
the
usual
manner
,
the
gateway
was
broken
in
with
a
crowbar
,
and
eight
or
ten
of
the
neighbors
entered
,
accompanied
by
two
gendarmes
.
By
this
time
the
cries
had
ceased
;
but
,
as
the
party
rushed
up
the
first
flight
of
stairs
,
two
or
more
rough
voices
,
in
angry
contention
,
were
distinguished
,
and
seemed
to
proceed
from
the
upper
part
of
the
house
.
As
the
second
landing
was
reached
,
these
sounds
,
also
,
had
ceased
,
and
everything
remained
perfectly
quiet
.
The
party
spread
themselves
,
and
hurried
from
room
to
room
.
Upon
arriving
at
a
large
back
chamber
in
the
fourth
story
,
(
the
door
of
which
,
being
found
locked
,
with
the
key
inside
,
was
forced
open
,
)
a
spectacle
presented
itself
which
struck
every
one
present
not
less
with
horror
than
with
astonishment
.
"
The
apartment
was
in
the
wildest
disorder
--
the
furniture
broken
and
thrown
about
in
all
directions
.
There
was
only
one
bedstead
;
and
from
this
the
bed
had
been
removed
,
and
thrown
into
the
middle
of
the
floor
.
On
a
chair
lay
a
razor
,
besmeared
with
blood
.
On
the
hearth
were
two
or
three
long
and
thick
tresses
of
grey
human
hair
,
also
dabbled
in
blood
,
and
seeming
to
have
been
pulled
out
by
the
roots
.
Upon
the
floor
were
found
four
Napoleons
,
an
ear-ring
of
topaz
,
three
large
silver
spoons
,
three
smaller
of
metal
d'Alger
,
and
two
bags
,
containing
nearly
four
thousand
francs
in
gold
.
The
drawers
of
a
bureau
,
which
stood
in
one
corner
,
were
open
,
and
had
been
,
apparently
,
rifled
,
although
many
articles
still
remained
in
them
.
A
small
iron
safe
was
discovered
under
the
bed
(
not
under
the
bedstead
)
.
It
was
open
,
with
the
key
still
in
the
door
.
It
had
no
contents
beyond
a
few
old
letters
,
and
other
papers
of
little
consequence
.
"
Of
Madame
L'Espanaye
no
traces
were
here
seen
;
but
an
unusual
quantity
of
soot
being
observed
in
the
fire-place
,
a
search
was
made
in
the
chimney
,
and
(
horrible
to
relate
!
)
the
corpse
of
the
daughter
,
head
downward
,
was
dragged
therefrom
;
it
having
been
thus
forced
up
the
narrow
aperture
for
a
considerable
distance
.
The
body
was
quite
warm
.
Upon
examining
it
,
many
excoriations
were
perceived
,
no
doubt
occasioned
by
the
violence
with
which
it
had
been
thrust
up
and
disengaged
.
Upon
the
face
were
many
severe
scratches
,
and
,
upon
the
throat
,
dark
bruises
,
and
deep
indentations
of
finger
nails
,
as
if
the
deceased
had
been
throttled
to
death
.
"
After
a
thorough
investigation
of
every
portion
of
the
house
,
without
farther
discovery
,
the
party
made
its
way
into
a
small
paved
yard
in
the
rear
of
the
building
,
where
lay
the
corpse
of
the
old
lady
,
with
her
throat
so
entirely
cut
that
,
upon
an
attempt
to
raise
her
,
the
head
fell
off
.
The
body
,
as
well
as
the
head
,
was
fearfully
mutilated
--
the
former
so
much
so
as
scarcely
to
retain
any
semblance
of
humanity
.
"
To
this
horrible
mystery
there
is
not
as
yet
,
we
believe
,
the
slightest
clew
.
"
The
next
day
's
paper

these
additional
particulars

Tragedy

Morgue
