LONDON, May "a. - George
Joseph Smith, tho notorious
"bride's bath" murderer, who has
been married six times and Is said
to have drowned three Of his
brides in bath-tubs, was put On
trial In the Bow street court TO-
day charged with triple fratricidc.
Scotland Yard has unraveled
Smiths life of crime, until Prose-
cutor Bodkin declares he hasposi-
tive proof of the three murders,
and strong suspicious Of even
more.
In two and one-half years. the
prosecutor claims. Smith has be-
come $4,000 richer through the
life insurance collected from tho
three wives. And all the time
that Smith has ben marrying and
drowning his wives In bath-tubs,
the prosecution asserts, he has
been returning regularly to his
woman named Pegler. and living
respectfully with ner for definite
periods.
Cheated First One.
The three wives who are said
to have been Smiths victims were
Beatrice Mundy. who died In a
bath-tub two years after the we'd
ding; Alice Durham, who drown
ed in her bath two months after
she became a bride; and Mar
garet Lofty, who was found dead
in her bath the day following her
wedding.
1t was In 1898 that George
Joseph Smith was first married.
Why he cheated Caroline B.
Thornhill, at Leicester, and told
her his name was George -Oliv,r
Love, no one knows. However, 10
was better to be cheated than to
be murdered. Whether Smith got
any money from this woman will
come out at the trial.

entitled to bear the sinister name
of George Joseph Smith, is now
on her way to London from Can

will show that he was always able

AUSTRIA
SHELLS
VENICE!

ROME, MAJ 23.-Austria this
afternoon struck a quick, sharp
blow at Italy-the first in the
war.
Airships and fleet of dread
naughts and torpedo boats sped
across the Adriatic sea from
Pola, the Austrian naval base,
and bombarded several coast
towns and dropped bombs on the
arsenal at Venice and the Italian
aeroplane hangers at Jessi.
An attempt was made by a
landing party and by aeroplane
bombs to destroy the railroad
from Ancona to Porto Cosin,
but this was not successful. A
bombardment for two hours also
was attempted without serious re-
suit.
Following this attack, the war
ships moved southwark, Smelling
other coast towns.
King Goes to Front.
At first 1t was believed that all
the towns had been shelled from
the air, but later the presence of
the Austrian fleet was proved be-
yond doubt. Feverishly excited,
vast crowds gathered in Rome
and heard the first reports OF
Italian casualties.
They were badly frightened,
despite official assurances that
the raid merely was to draw
first blood" and to terrorize
Italy.
All princes of the royal family
have Joined their regiments, and
King Victor Emmanuel himself
has left for the front, where he
will establish headquarters.
