opinion that Ardmore should spend

diture would be a saving to the homes
and a saving to the tax payers. The

VERDICT IN LANDRU
MURDER TRIAL MAY
BE REACHED TONIGHT

VERSAILLES, Nov. Ca verdict
in the case Of Henri Landru, charged
with the murder of ten women and the
SON Of one of them. is expected TO be
reached late tonight, NJ. Moro.G iafferi,
chief counsel for the "Bluebeard of
Gambais," said he expected TO com
plete his address to the jury by five
o'clock this afternoon.
The only possible delay might be
caused by Landru himself, exercising
his right to address the jury. Blu
he was reticent today refusing to
tell his own counsel whether he in.
tended to speak.
He has been taking voluminous
notes throughout the addresses OF
counsel, which would seem to indicate
that he intended to address the jury.
1t was considered unlikely, however,
that he would speak more than an
hour.
Forty eight questions are asked of
the jury, and the first Of these. if an
swered in the affirmative, settles the
whole case. This question is do you
find the accused guilty of assassinat-
ing Madame Ouchct with premedita-
tom"
The second question is:
do YOU find the accused's mental
condition such as TO alternate his re.
sponsibility?
Ii this question should be answered
in the affirmative, Judge Gilbert can
moi sentence Landru to death, under
the French law.
But il the jury should answer yes"
to the first and no to the second,
there would Ice no option but 10 send
