Attempted Murder Charge,
Paris, Jan. "a sensation was
caused here by the arrest Of the
mayor Of the suburban city of Gen.

attempting to murder two wealthy

ately rushed at the women and stab

The women were taken the hospita,

Suspicion fell on the mayor. Eugene

fronted with the victims.
AS soon as the women saw him
both shrieked: HE Is the assassin!"
