VERSAILLES. Nov. %. Henri Ian
dru. the "Bluebeard Of Gambais," en-
Enthusiastically praised the stove in his
Ganlbais villa when he showed it to
one of his fancees on her first visit
to his home according to the testi-
mony of Nine. Falque, which was read
IN court to-day at the trial of the man
who is accused OF the murder of ten
women by cutting them to pieces and
burning their bodies in the stove.
Nine. Plaque was unable to be pres
ent and her depos tion was read. Mile
Fernando, another one of the fiancees
OF Biucbeara,' also testified to-day,
and. SO far as known, these are the
ONLY two who accompanied the prisoner
to his villa and returned.
Nine. Plaque said that Landru
showed her the stove and declared it
worked marvelously. He said one
could burn anything he wished in it,
and he showed her the various parts
OF it.
I.andru shouted strenuous objections
to this testimony and declared it was
net true.
Later the Stove was brought into
court as an exhibit and attracted much
attention from the crowd which packed
the place.
Mile. SECRET, pale young girl, was
3 better witness for Landru than for
the state. She was very nervous and
collapsed while she was on the stand,
forcing an adjournment Of court until
She recovered She said she had &C
companied Landru to the Gambais villa
seven times. She said she noticed moth
ing abnormal about Landru or his villa.
She said she saw a shotgun and some
revolve cartridges at the villa

taken into custody by the detectives,
who alleged they were driving a Ford
car in Washington Avenue and their
way was obstructed by the defendants,
who, they said, had resisted arrest.
Moorhead one OF the prisoners. told
Magistrate Silbcrman the detectives
had been travelling without tail lights

From The 1ribu,,e,a Washington Bureau


WASHINGTON, Nov. % - Admins
tration officials said to-day it was
practically certain that Eugene V.
Debs, Socialist leader, serving a term
IN the Federal pcnitentiary at Atlanta
for violation of war time laws, would
be free before Christmas. The Presi-
dent and Cabinet to-day discussed the
subject OF general amnesty for such
offenders, but arrived at no decision,
although the President indicated that
there would be no sweeping amnesty
proclama alton. Each case will be CON
sidered on its merits
There are about 175 of these So
called political prisoners including
fourteen held Tor military offenses.
Attorney General Daughertv said that
undoubtedly the case of Debs would be
considered first.
The Department of Justice is at work
on digest of all cases, which will be
presented to the President for action
Debs Not Eligible for Parole
Debs is under a ten-year sentence
and has served two years and seven
months. No prisoner is eligible for
parole until he has served third of
the prescribed sentence and Debs will
not be eligible for parole until next
August %. 1t is possible that the
President would order communication of
Debs's sentence, and in turn the De
partment of Justice could order that
he be paroled 1t is understood, how
ever, that Attorney General Daugherty
is opposed to this procedure, holding
that if Debs is released it should be
Internationally. The chief problem
officials are considering is whether or
not # Debs were freed he would pose
as martyr and give vent to further
sedltious utterances
