Attempt Made to Extract Confession
by the Cinematograph.

PARIS, August 29.-The cinematograph
is to be brought into service in the trial
Of the servants Of the late banker. NJ
DENY, who was murdered a few weeks
ago.
One Of the servants has confessed that
he and his colleagues entered the bank
er's room and stabbed him to death His
accomplice. however. has continued to
deny any knowledge Of the crime, and no
sign Of confession has been wrung from
him by the judges.
weird ceremony took place the other
morning In the Pa!ais de Justice. in order
to frighten the man into confession. The
room was arranged as nearly like the
bankers bedroom as possible detect
i've and the confessed murderer both took
of their garments. A second detective
impersonated M. Remy in the bed.
The two men fell upon the banker"
with such vigor that his body was thrown
to the floor and rolled into the position
in which 1t was found after the murder
It is hoped by the examining magistrate
that the cinematograph Aim has caught
the actions Of the men SO accurately that
the principal murderer in the case will be
frightened into a confession when he sees
the play"
