FRENCH BLUEBEARIrS CRIMES
REVEALED.

Proof Obtained That Henri Landrue
Cut Up and Burned Bodies Of Three
Women.
The chain Of evidence which the
state is forging against Henri Eandru,
the modern French Bluebeard, was
strengthened when medical experts
reported to the French courts that
they had obtained proof that three
persons, probably women, had been
cut up and burned in Landru's villa
at Gambis.
Landru was originally accused of
numbering from II to I3 wives, or
.'iancees, for their property He
was arrested more than a year ago,
but despite the vigorous and ceaseless.
Investigations of the police it was for
some time impossible to gather evil
dence sufficiently strong to put him on
trial for his life.
The prisoner has maintained cool
and cynical air under examination.

would not harm hair of wom-
ans head was his fayorfte reply TO
questions concerning the whereabouts
OF missing women with when he was
friendly.
Landru maintained avilla at Gam
bais, situated near the short of a
lake. The original theory was that
he poisoned his alleged 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 and debris re-
sembling charred bones were brought
to the surface, but the medical ex-
perts ard the police were unable to
connect them with Landru's alleged
crimes.
Neighbcrs of Landru said that he
frequently returned late at night and
started a roaring fire in the furnace
of the villa The whole house would
be lighted up with the glow, and
black greasy smoke would pour out
of the chimney.
I.andru's real wife recently secured
a divorce from him after remaining
loyal for months following his arrest.
Letters seized with Landru's effects
showed he had IA "sweethearts."
