A young woman at Lyons very handsome, but little advantaged in point of fortune, was the object of criminal desire to three young fellows. Each endeavoured separately to seduce her, but with
out success. The better to succeed, they joined, and had recourse to the stratagems of a procuress, who having contrived to bring the girl to her house, the three gallants there forced her, and dreading afterwards the punishment of their crime, cut her body to pieces, and threw it into the Rhone.
For some days the
unhappy parents sought their daughter in vain; but the river having thrown up several parts of the mangled carcase, it was then concluded she was murdered.
Information having been taken, it was found she had been at the procuress; whereupon the latter was taken up and interrogated, where she confessed her crime and her accomplices.
