FACTS ON THREE
MURDERS DUG UP
French Bluebeard Now May
Face Trial for Life.

PARIS, July a0.-The chain of EVIL
dence which the state is forging against
Henri Landru, the modern French BLUE
beard" was strengthened today when
medical experts reported TO the French
courts that they had found proof that
three persons. probably women, had been
cut up and burned in Landru's villa at
Cambay.
Landru originally was accused of muir
dering from eleven to thirteen wives"
or ''hancesa for their property.
He was ARRESTED more than year
ago, but despite the vigorous and cease
less Investigation Of the police they were
unable to gather evidence sufficiently
strong to put him on trial for his life.
The prisoner has maintained cool and
cynical air under examination.
II am as gentle as dove and l would
net hurt the hair of a woman's head"
was his favorite reply to questions re-
garding the whereabouts OF missing wom-
en- with whom he was friendly.
Iandru maintained a villa at Gambais,
situated near the shore Of a lake.
The original theory WAS that he poi
soned his victims. then cut up and
burned the bodies and dumped the
charred remains in the lake at night.
The lake had been dragged seven times
end debris resembling ch2rred bones
were brought TO the surface, but the med
zeal experts and the police were unable
to connect them with Landru's supposed
crime.
Neigbbors of Ilandru said frequently he
returned late at night and started a roar
ing fire in the furnace of the villa.
The whole house would be lighted up
with the glow and black, greasy smoke
would pour from the chimney.
Landru's real wife recently obtained a
divorce from him after remaining loyal
for months after his arrest
Letters seized in Landru's effects
showed he had seventy four sweet
hearts,"

by Big Wheat Tieup
sneoiaI 70 Thu rimss.

FRANKLIN, Ind, July 30.--A general
tie-up In the wheat handling situation is

the wheat harvest in this county is so
large there Is no place left to store 1t.

thrashed each day in this county, which
would require fifty cars to transport,

This trsnscontinental run is un-
deniable proof Of the matchless
worth of the light Overland -Four
with Triplex Springs.
No light stock car has ever be-
fore made such a showing in gas
oline economy, or in speed aver
aged, or in elapsed time or in
condition Of car on arrival.
The car travelled 3,442 miles in
a few hours over seven days at an
average speed of 1872 miles and
with the fuel-- economy noted in
the headlines.
Twenty-Five drivers, secured at
various points, piloted the car,
which finished on it's original set
of tires in excellent condition and
could have started Immediately on
return trip.
1,721 miles to the gallon of oil
was another record figure.
Mud and sand and hills. un-
avoidable in trip of this length,
made severe demands on car
strength and stamina.

The Overland "came through"
with flying colors.
But, this run is in no way an
isolated instance of Overland
merit. We ran an Overland tour
ing car over Indiana's frozen
roads in late February-5,452
miles in seven days, with a gas
oline average of better than 20
miles to the gallon.
Similar trials in all parts of the
country have piled up proof that
no easy riding car in its class is
so economical, or so strong and
dependable.
Small wonder, then, that care
full business firms are buying
Overlands for their statesmen,
while the private owner, also, is
making Overland his choice.
And you can secure this re-
