HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Seaforth News, 1954-02-25, Page 3Mistake in Spelling Meant A Hanging Through the darkened streets of air -raided London, under the probing rays of the searchlights, pretty Freneh-born Emilienne Gerard ran to safety, seeking the arms of the man she loved, Shrapnel Hissed down into the empty roadways. Every now and then the shuddering crash of an explosion drove her into the shelter of a friendly doorway. It was a night of death . and the stage was set for murder. The warning sounds had driven mast of the foreign popu- lation of Soho to the deep safety of the Underground. Desperately, Emilienne told herself that if one of the bombs were marked with her name she would pre- fer to die with her sweetheart, Louis Voisin. She little knew that Louis was deep in the passionate embrace of another woman. She little knew that slender, sultry -eyed Berthe Roche was already her rival. In the turbulent, shifting sea of war -time London, Berthe Roche loved her man with the swift hell -cat intensity of a fiend. She was playing a game of dangerous kisses with Louis Voisin, one kiss for every bark of an ack-ack gun . . and love euddenly turning to terrible hate at the sound of Eanilienne's footsteps on the basement stairs. Voices were raised in the Soho night. Like a tigress, Berthe sprang at Emilienne, raining blows On her head, Then she seized a poker and struck again, till Emilienne sank hi a sea of blood. Louis looked down at her callously. A butcher by trade, he must have noticed that Emilienne still breathed, that her heart still beat. But Berthe whispered feverishly, insistently, in his ear: "Kill her! Strangle her!" Like a man in a trance Louis Voisin 'seized a twisted tOwel , , And with demoniac cruelty Berthe Roche must have laughed as she glimpsed the next grim phase. A fake murder plotted to hide a real murder! But first the bed: of Emilienne Gerard must be cut to pieces, dissected with butcher's skill. Next morning Berth° was up early, busy with buckets of water, telling a neighbour that Voisin had killed a calf and stained his clothes. It took a day to interweave all the loose threads of the plan she had con- ceived in her evil brain. And first a bottle of ,blood had to be taken to Emilienne Gerard's flat and smeared on the walls. The head and hands of the unfortu- nate woman were stowed in bran in a cask in Louis Voisin's coal -cellar.

Choose Stainless Steel Tableware Care $$Y EWA MAUI IN a very short time, stainless steel has come out cd the kitchen and Into the dining room, where it ;penes the table in convene with good china and crystal. Nearly every housewife has some stainless eteel in her kitchen which she uses for stirring or other food preparation. Time, she wonders how the more expensive stainless (selling for perhaps $9 a place setting) differs trona the cheaper varieties that offer a set for four persons et a mere Isle. The answer, as always, ilea in quality. 1?'iret, there's a matter et finish. Unlike the inexpensive stainless, the quality istairilesa has no rough edges and is buffed to bring out the lasting, high Luster ot the stainless itself. Many brides-to-be are picking stainless eteel as their only tableware in starting out, Later on, they can add sterling, but at the outset they have one good quality set that will serve handsomely both for family and guests. In shopping for stainless, then, watch for hollow handles on knives and graded pieces. Graded pieces are those tapering in thickness toward the edge ot the spoon bowls, handles and tips of fork tines, just as in the beat sterling. Such grading improves the appearance, feel and balance of the tableware, The woman buying stainless should always hold a piece in her hand and inspect it carefully for such qualities, Stainless is usually most beautiful in very simple designs, but there are a number of patterns on the market today from which This bridr-to-bo caret lrutpcctn x atzelale s steel slitwu roc the housewife can choose. neigh and L. -ratline, two qualities that spell the dil caber between Designers no longer translate silver designs into stainless; they good tableware MA the lase expensive variety. The pastern shr design for the stainless itself- Is inspecting is called "'flatlet.' y Then the legs easily identifi- able remains were parcelled and carried easily through the desert- ed dawn. Knowing that her rival was now safely Out of the way, Berthe turned to her lover with a ferocity 01 renewed de- light, Such was the crime that startled London during the clos- ing months of World War 1. Amid the fallen leaves in Re- gent Square, a roadmap noticed a bundle wrapped up in a meat sack. It contained the ghastly torso. How could it be identified? To Chief Inspector Wensley of Scotland Yard the problem pre- sented no difficulties. Despite her cunning, Berthe had over- looked three tiny threads of red cotton on a sheet, threads form- ing the laundry -nark "II H." It took only a matter of hours to inquire through all the local laundries for two miles around and trace the mark to Emilienne Gerard, Her neighbours had still not noticed her absence, for she had a husband serving with the French Army and was some- times permitted to go to see him. But a quick scrutiny of her flat showed Wensley that Emilienne had taken a longer journey. He noticed the stains on the walls with interest, for, to the trained eyes ot the police, there was not enough blood for such a murder, Emilienne's flat, at all events, was not the scene of the crime. Inquiries began into the French -woman's known compan- ions. A man carne forward who had dined with her on the night of ''.re air-raid, and she had said nothing of leaving London, This was important, for as soon as Voisin was traced the butcher swore that when he had last seen Emilienne she had told him she was going to see her hus- band, The word "Belgiam" had been detected on a piece of brown paper found with the body. Five times Voisin was asked to write "Belgium" . . and five times he misspelt it "]elgiam," And with a calm that nearly fooled the police, Berths. Roche said that she knew nothing of any quarrel, that she had never set eves on Mme. Gerard, Voisin, too, spread his hands in bewilderment as the police talked of crime, But when an ear -ring, identified as Emilientte's was found in hie kitchen, the detectives searched farther. In the cask, in the 'semi -darkness of the cellar, they found more remains hidden in sawdust. Berthe broke into screaming abuse or her companion.
