GREENSBORO DAILY NEWS. TUESDAY, DECEMBER 12, 192 J t 1 Famous Mysteries The Mystery of the Marquis de Nayve The mytorjr which turround th trango, death of Hippolyte Menitldo in really of a double variety, for It Included thq Identity of the boy who met hie death upon-the rocks below Cantelamure, near . Naplen, ai well a that of the person who ' waa re ponslhle for the occurrence, which may have been either a cold-blooded murder or a rase of accidental death. It was because of the many unusual features of the affair that, alt Paris dlactiHit-d the Mendalo case or the "Nayve mystery," as It was more frequently called for months and the true story of the events which led up to I lie tragedy Is still largely a matter of speculation. The tint that la known of Hippolyte Menitldo was when, as an Infant, he vas placed In the care , of . Marie Chatx, a poor dressmaker ot Orleans, by a mysterious but very evidently wealthy person to whom she had been reommended by the parish priest, As the boy grew up he was naturally in. jtilslttve about his parents, but Marie Chaix was unable to enlighten him, as shew knew nothing- of his origin beyond the fact that a generous al lowance reached her each month for th child's maintenance. . ., ,. At the age of 13, Hippolyte was taken away:, from his foster mother and sent to a boarding school In the care of a M. Martin, who declared that he was the boy'a legal guardian and that he was to be educated for the priesthood. Two yeara later this same M. Martin called at the school, told the headmaster that he had ar ranged to send the lad to Zierica and Walked away with him. It having been arranged that his baggage was to he shipped later. But this was never lone, and, eight days after the pty had left school, fishermen near p rocky shore of Castelamare found the body of a youth wearing the uni form of a French parochial school from 'which all Identifying marks had been cut, with the exception of the nuenrrals '"5S' on the socks. Jt was this slight clue which eventually led tfl the identification of the body and the arrest which startled all France. .iNlne years passed, however, before the police of Italy and France were able to collect the evidence they ought. At the end of this time, the wealthy and socially prominent Mar QOIs de Nayve was taken Into custody on a charge ot having murdered the Illegitimate son of the Marquise, whom. It was stated, he had caused to be reared under the name of Hip polyte Menuldo and whom he was supposed to have killed by casting him from the cliffs above the 1 sea near Naples. 1 To the surprise of all his friends. the Marquis de Nayve made no secret of his connection with the missing boy at hia trial, although he denied. most emphatically that he had had any part In causing the lad's death. His story wss that the Barents of the Marquise had confessed her youthful folly to him when they had become betrothed and that he had not only forgiven her. but after their m marriage had consented to masquer ade as the child's guardian. Monsieur Martin, so that he might watch over his Interests, At the trial the de fense produced, a letter which the Marquis had written to the Marquise from Marseilles Immediately after the disappearance of Hippolyte. This let ter explained that, while taking the boy on a pleasure trip, preparatory to sending him to America, the Mar quis had gone with him to Rotsiet Florence and Anally to Naples where, while they were walking along the sea road, the boy had become -angry at his Guardian and run away Into the fog and the darkness. The Marquis' lawyera further prov ed that, upon returning home, the ac cused man had not acted as a mur derer would have but that he had consulted his attorneys and his priest and that It was upon their advice that he hd remained silent so long. In spite of the efforts of the prose cution to riddle Nsyve's testimony and to show that the removal of the Identifying marks from the boy's clothing was clear evidence of a pre meditated crime, the Jury returned a verdict of "not guilty" but Paris has never ceased to wonder at the true story that lies somewhere behind the strange case.
