Ninety bodies have been recovered

Over a thousand militiamen, under
command of Adjutant General Wood,
have the afflicted sections thoroughly
patrolled and little or no disorder is
reported.
Digging bodies out Of the mud was
the chief work of rescuing parties.
The water had drained from almost
all of the flooded area, leaving thick
layers of mud. In some Instances the

conflicting statements, could I hope
to trace the murderer? l instructed
my chief assistant to follow up the
vague clues supplied by the farmer
and the corn merchant, and imposed
upon myself the task of discovering
whether there was a connecting link
betwee-- Nine Servois' disappearance
and the finding of the body.
The coincidence of Auguste having
been seen at Nogent-sur-Marne, the
day Nine. Servois called there on her
friend, had caused me to have his
lodgings watched night and day. But,
thus far, he had not turned up there
nor at his favorite haunt, where Claire
was still waiting for him every night.

was very anxious about his client.
Young Edouard," he said, "has al
ready been to see me several times.
He knows that in the event of his
aunt's death he will inherit a large
share of her property, and his
thoughts seem to run more on the
money than on the fate that may
have befallen her. NJ. Goron, do you
really think that the body found is
that Of Mme Servois?"
In the face of all these contradic.
tions," I replied, Il cannot give an
opinion. Since the day Nine. Mesier
rightly or wrongly recognized the re
mains as those of the missing woman
I have had nothing but supposition to
