VICTIMS ARE BURNED
Escaped Lover, Destined to Become
T hirteenth Victim, Is Expected
to Give Startling Testi
mony at Trial.
Paris.—French detectives continue
the investigations into the strange case
of Henry Landru, under arrest charged
with the murder of 11 women and one s
boy. Landru is being detained in
prison while the police are completing
the net of evidence which, they as
sert, will show this modern Bluebeard
to be the arch-criminal of modern
times. The police have also taken into
custody Mile. Fernade Segeut, who was
with Landru at the time of his arrest.
She is believed to know much of Lan
dru's past affairs and, according to
the police, was destined to be his thir
teenth victim. Paris is said to be im
patient for the trial, which is expected
to reveal a tale of shocking and fright
ful inhumanity.
Bones and Ashes of Victims.
It is believed by the police that
most of the victims of Landru disap
peared at his secluded country home,
Villa Gambais. There detectives have
discovered charred bits of women's
clothing, burned bones of human be
ings, ribs and pieces of ribs, arm bones
shin bones and human teeth. In nu
merous ash piles, believed to contain
the remains of some of the victims, de
tectives have discovered bits of melted
glass, hairpins and teeth.
In the kitchen of the home were
found meat saws, such as only a butch
er keeps, and a kitchen stove which,
in the opinion of the police, served to
burn the bodies. In the cellar great
stains of blood were found, covered
with sand. Discovery of a large can
filled with tar has led the police to the

Seized and Handcuffed Landru.
theory that Landru used tar with coal
to create a fire sufficiently hot to con
sume bodies.
Sensational Arrest of Bluebeard.
Landru was arrested in Paris, where
he was living under the name of Quil
let. Two detectives entered his home
on pretense of being eager to purchase
his automobile. Once they were in
side, they seized and handcuffed Lan
dru and told him he was under arrest.
Shouting and screaming and trying to
tear off the handcuffs, he protested
against the arrest.
LOVERS REFUSE TO PART
Pennsylvania Girl Burns Self to Death
as Sweetheart Dies by
Bullet.
Northampton, Pa.—Two lovers, Nava
Newhanl, sixteen years old, and Pal
mer Lilly, nineteen years old of North
ampton, Pa., died in a tragic manner
as the result, it is asserted, of a sui
cide pact. The parents of the girl had
refused to permit her to accept the
attention of Lilly.
The young people walked to Hower
town, a mile away from tlieir home,
where they sat down by the roadside
and ended their lives. The girl, with
the assistance of her lover, it is
thought, set fire to her dress aud was
burned to death. Then young Lilly,
according to the theory of the coroner,
shot himself several times through the
head, dying a few minutes later.
The pair left a note on the ground
In which they told of their purpose to
die, as they could not live apart.
Found Lost Safe and $25,000.
^ San Francisco.—Ten years ago E. C.
McCormick of this city lost his office
safe, containing between $25,000 and
$30,000 in bonds. The safe failed to
follow him when he moved. Recently
an attorney came upon a strong box
that no key would fit. A locksmith
opened it and revealed the missing
bonds.
