April 10, 1887 Le Journal Illustre; LA RUE MONTAIGNE TRIPLE MURDER Pranzini

Description: A RARE and ORIGINAL copy of this publication that has great content regarding a triple murder, and the suspect. This was a very well known crime... and to some extent, still is. There is a fair amount of information regarding the crime to be found on the internet. A good source of general information comes from an internet piece, "The Killer and the Saint: Pranzini and Therese" An excerpt from that piece follows:Paris: March 17thA triple murder was discovered this morning in the Rue Montaigne. A courtesan named Monty, or Regnault, lay dead at the foot of her bed, with two gashes on her throat, while her servant-maid and her daughter, a girl of 12, had been murdered in their bed. The supposed murderer is a man who mounted the stair just as the concierge was putting out the gas. He had vainly attempted to force a safe containing jewels worth 200,000f., and is presumed to have taken the money from the victim’s pocket. She was about 30 years of age. There are no traces of any struggle, but the occupants of the flat below heard a slight noise at 10 o’clock this morning. The concierge appears to have been accustomed to pull the checkstring about sunrise to let out the woman’s visitors.On August 31, 1887, Pranzini was executed after being found guilty of the crime. He was beheaded. Prior to 1880, engravings were the way images were conveyed to people. this paper has the images of the murderer, a part of the crime scene, and the apartment layout. The paper is in very good condition, and will be placed in a hard mailer to make sure that you get what you see. NEAT PIECE! Please contact me with any questions at all.
