principles already adopted was chal-
lenged by some Of the Chinese.
Earlier In the day the land arma-
ment problem had been debated be-
nind closed doors by the delegates of
the big five powers, without further
result than the appointment of a
sub committee to consider collateral
subjects like the use of airplanes and
poison gases. Premier BRAND of
France. making his farewell speech to
the conference, pressed his argument
that his country dared not disarm un-
less she had guarantees from the
other powers and although the gener-
al discussion drew renewed express
sions of sympathy from every other
national group. no one proposed any
formal joint declaration Of policy.
On the side of the naval reduction
program developments were so COM
pletely out OF the picture that some
OF the delegates showed impaticnce
and pointed out the possible danger
that the negotiations might become
confused by too exhaustive a discus
sion OF details. 1t is possible, the
naval experts will be asked to simpli-
fly their methods so as to expedite &C.
ton.
Tomorrow will be a day of rest SC
FAR as meetings of the conference and
its sub divisions are concerned al
though it may see some real progress
through consultations among the va
rious individuals and groups.

Defense Scores
in Trial of
French "Bluebeard'

Versailles, Nov 23-fBy A. Ply
The defense in the trial OF Henri
Landru, who is on trial charged with
] l murders, was considered by those
present ic ICurt today to have had
its best day since the trial opened.
This belief was based on the fact
that the defense proved by witnesses
for the prosecution that Landru's
villa at Gambais where the muir
Gers are alleged to have been COM
mitted remained unprotecteA be-
tween April -, the date of the first
search Of the premises, at which time
nothing but the bodies Of two dogs
were found, and April o5. three days
prior to the second search, when
pound and a half of bones which the
prosecution ayers belonged to human
beings were discovered.
The jury seemed greatly impressed
when NJ Moro Giafferi, OF counsel
for the defense, compared the testi-
mony of Fernando SECRET who lived
with Landru from late in 1917 up to
the time he Was arrested in April
1919, with that OF Police Inspector
Daulet
Mile. SECRET testified yesterday she
built fire in the kitchen range at
Gambais on April ) and noticed
nothing strange among the ashes.
1t was in this range that the prose-
cution alleges Landru burned his vic
tins. Inspector Daulet swore that
on April % a portion of the pound
and a half of bones produced in
court were found in this range. The
prosecutor joined the defendants
counsel in blaming the police officer
who conducted the search April IL.
for not Immediately scaling up the
Gambais villa and placing a guard
there.
LANDRY seemed somewhat stagser-
ed by the first question put to him
today by Judge Gilbert.
What has been your method of
executing your victims-by hre-
arms, poison or stranglirgo" was the
question fired point blank at the pris-
oner at the opening of the session.
Landru soon recovered his COM
posture when the prosecution admit
ted that it was. unable to prove the
manner in witch the prisoners al
legged victims had vanished. 1t was
said that death might have resulted
from poison administered by Landru
as a book entitled THE Worlds Fa-
nous PRISONERS" had been found in
the villa.
lone doesn't poison women with
books" flippantly retorted Landru.
The testimony of a score of men
and women residents of Nernouillet
and Gambais that they witnessed
foul smelling dark smoke coming
from the chimneys, of the two villas
in which Landru lived weakened un-
der cross-examination by the de-
Tense when a majority OF them said
the odor from the smoke resembled
that of burning rubber, horn or rags.
