prosperous year ahead with much
good material 10 work with.
In Captain Marsh, '"Chuck" Dem
ton. Al Kruger and Al Stocking,
Solem has four men who are rated
as among the best linemen In the
Missouri valley. Although Stocking
has had little Experience, he is a
natural lineman and as member OF
last years freshman team played ex-
lceptional football.
Marsh and Denton. who tip the
scales at over two hundred. are built
for hard slashing line play, the ex-
perience that each gained last year
will make them invaluable to the
newcomers.
Ray Peterson. a tall. lanky player
of little experience until last year,
has developed into an excellent CEN
ter and undoubtedly will lfill this
position on the varsity team this
season.

FRENCH NOW BELIEVE
.LANDRU WAS A CLEVER
| GERMAN SECRET AGENT
Theory That He Used Alleged
Women Victims as Spies
Now Gains Credence,

PARIS, Jan. al. n. S)-Did
"Bluebeard" Landru actually assassi-
nate and then burn the ten women
and one boy who disappeared after
making his acquaintance or was he
only German spy whose alleged VIC
Tins were his accomplices and who
are hiding away to escape French
court martial.
This question has been raised again
since the conviction of Landru on all
eleven counts and despite the fact
that he has been sentenced to the
guillotine. 1t has gained wide Gre
dence since his attorney, the famous
Moro -Giafferi in leaving Landru's
cell, declared.
'Landru has made astonishing rev.
elations to me. | cannot say what
they were until the case comes up on
appeal, but they are revelations that
will create a sensation throughout the
world" ...
The "spy" theory to account for the
disappearance of ten of "Bluebeard's'
fiancees was raised shortly after Lam
. dru's arrest. His mysterious cominss
and goings at the villa at Gambais,
where he is supposed to have killed
most of his victims, had long led many
of the Gambais villagers to believe
that he was German secret service
agent. They even went so fas as to
declare that the smoke seen coming
from Landru's chimney was a signal
to German aircraft.
Henri laval, a criminal expert now
asks the old question again and an
swers that, in his belief, Landru was
Il spy and not an assassin.
laval reviews the history of Blue
boards" case and points out that the
State produced scarcely a single iota
of evidence to prove that he ever
killed.
His crime might be espionage.
Suppose that Landru, during the
course of the war, made it his busi-
ness to recruit spies for the German
Secret Service. AS agents he would
prefer women, who would be more
easy to dominate. He would choose
among several hundred. BY prefer
ence he would engage thoseswho had
neither families nor friends, so that
their absence would not prove aston
ishing
ITO receive them he had an isolated
house, where he manufactured raise
papers. He kept the genuine which
might be useful to him. He kept an
exact resume of his operations, for he
had to keep account of his services
When he was arrested he kept quiet
and they kept quiet.
'In this way the apparently unrea-
sonable things efface themselves. The
theory that Landru caused the bodies
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1922-01-02

to disappear and kept the papers is
not conceivable; birth certificate is
easier to burn than a woman.
I'm this way the inexplicable diary
of Landru explains itself. Thus, final
ly, is explained in this affair of as
sassination' why no witness and no
material evidence have revealed an
explanation; therefore it is an affair
of espionage"
Relatives and friends of Landrus
missing fiancees vigorously combat
the assertions. They point out that
