don't need meat for tomorrow, and II
would be wasted whereas, with other
things it's different, as you know"
The boy and girl nodded their heads,
though they didn't know much about
food and which kind was more easily
wasted than another. They knew
about food mostly in a more pleasur-
able than housekeeping fashion.

VERSAILLES, Nov. 19.--The strong
est link in the chain of circumstantial
evidence with which the state is trying
to fasten on Henri Landru proof that
he put to death ten fiancees was forged
to-day, when evidence was introduced
regarding Mile Marie Therese Mar
chadier, the last alleged victim of the
"Bluebeard OF Gambais."
Landru did not deny having met Mile.
Marchadier on Christmas, 1918, after
which she accompanied him to the
Gambais villa on January 13. Evidence
to-day showed that "Bluebeard" at that
time was virtually without funds. He
is alleged to have left Gambais alone
on January IA. however, and to have
spent nearly a thousand francs be-
tween then and January II. The
bones of the wonlan's two dogs were
found in the garden of the villa. Lam
dru admitted this afternoon that he
killed them. but said he strangled them
at the request OF Mile. Marchadier.
Landru testified that Mile. Marcia
dier remained several days at the villa
and then left him, going to relations in
Paris. He declined to tell how he
came into possession of the money and
also personal documents of his fiancee.
ing the trial is that Landru has made
a poor showing and that his only hope
is that Giafferi, his counsel, who is
one OF the cleverest criminal lawyers
in France, is in possession of facts
which he has thus far withheld
