LAWFUL 10 BORROW
 AUTO IN ENGLAND
BritiSherS Perturbed Over Twist
 in Their Law

London, Oct. il. R>--British mo- toriSts and jurists are becoming not little concerned over the question of how to distinguish between the theft of an automobile and the un- authorized borrowing of one.
 Under English law it is impos- sible to convict a person of larceny without proving not only that the property in question was fraudu, lcntly taken, but that it was the takers intention to deprive the owner permanelty thereof.
 The culprit in whose possession the missing car is found need only declare, T didn't steal it; I only went for a ride" and it is up to the prosecution to prove him a liar.
 Police court cases show the "bor rowing" habit is on the increase, and magistrates have frankly ad mitted that strict interpretation of the law does not permit bench or j2!ry to asTrme that theft was in the mind" of the person who ran of, with the cor.
 Unless there is evidence 10 show he liked it well enough to l, p it indefinitely, or definitely planned 10 sell it 5 loot, there is sm0l! chance of convictirg him of any , thing worse than the petty theft of a little gasoline and oii--.f it can

discovered that she and her son had associated with anarchists known to the police. The doubt ful associations of the two lead the police now to believe that they were prescribed by some band of criminal or political operators and slain as conveniently as pos sible.
 Rigaudins questionable busi- ness affairs have added to the mys- tery. It has been discovered that he had shady dealings with un- scrupulous persons.
 But behind the fate of Rigaudin is the equally sinister tragedy of his mother and her association with Red agitators. It is recalled that at the time of her murder Rigaudin appeared very reticent about giving information and the police now believe that he was ac- tuated by fear. It has been re- marked that in their domestic life both mother and son were mild hammered, seemingly devoted to each other, and neighbors never suspected that they might have a care that could bring them both to such a tragic end

POLICE MYST|FIED BY TWO MURDERS
Deaths Of Mother and Son in
 Paris Defy Solution

i Paris, Oct. 1.-Two murders, committed under similar and mys- terious circumstances within a pc riod of five months, have given s the French police a problem in crime that suggests the most sin ster ramifications.
 Detectives have a theory that a 8 secret sect, rivaling in method the gangsters of New York or Chi cago, condemned and deliberately executed the two for some breach of faith.
 Last April Madame Marie Blanche Blanc, 6$, was found dead in her Paris apartment. She had
 been strangled with a cord and no trace of her slayer has been found Her son, Frederic Auguste . Rigaudin, 33, an accountant, was . among those questioned by the police but, although he lived with s his mother, he could give no clue as to the motive of the crime and he was not placed under arrest. Body found in Trunk This murder was practically forgotten when attendants in the
 railway station of Lille, inyesti-
 gating a cheap wicker trunk. dis
 covered in it the body of a man.
 The body was mutilated, but
 death had been due to strangula-
 tion, because q stout piece of tarred
 cord had been drawn about the
 neck.
 In the pockets of the dead man
 were the private papers, including
 the automobile drivers license, of
 Frederic Rigaudin. The features
 were so broken that identification
 by this means was impossible and
 at first the police suspected Ri
 gaudin of the crime, and as a ruse of placing his own clothes and papers on the body of his victim . But later finger print examination
 in Paris proved beyond a doubt that the victim was Rigaudin him. self.

 It is highly irritating to the mo- torist who had been without his car for 48 hours to have to listen to an argument over whether the man who took it was acting amino furandi," or merely 'cepit ct as- portavit" the automobile from its alleged resting place beside the curb. So there is a growing de- mand for amendment of the exist ing law.
 Meanwhile it is possible for the victimized owner, if he wants to go to the trouble, to bring civil action against the ,joyrider-to sue him for the inconvenience and mental dis tress he has caused. So far. how ever, no such case has come into court.
