Henri DISCOVERS Found Guilty OF
Murder OF Mrs. Parmentier, on
June 4, 1912, at Woonsocket.

peslovers and Mrs. Parmentier came to
Woonsocket from Roubaix. France. three
vears ago and went to work in the mills.
she disappeared from his house, on June
A. 1912. ON June % of last year, the
beadless and nude body of woman, with
arms and legs tied and weighted down
with stones. was taken from the Black
stone river not far from Deslovers' home.
A few days later a bundle OF clothing,
which was later identified as having been
worn by Mrs Parmentier, was found
near the spot and Discovers was arrest
ed The head was never found. pes-
lovers pleaded not guilty and was indict-
ed More than six months later he was
freed on habeas corpus writ, the state
having failed to bring him to trial within
the six months limit as ascribed by law.
Before he left the courtroom he was re-
arrested on a statutory charge and a
special grand jury, which was immedl-
ately summoned, re-indicted him. Inc
trial was begun four weeks ago last Mon
day.
Discovers defence was tat the woman
had left him to go back 10 France to a
dsreputable house and the reason she
had not been heard from was because she
did not want him to know where she was
so that he could not take her back The
defence claimed that the headless body
was not that of Mrs Parmentier and
sought TO establish an alibi for DISCOVERS
More than 50 witnesses testified in the
case including the defendant, who was
on the stand more than 20 hours.
The penalty for murder in Rhode Island
is life Imprisonment.
