SEAFORTIi, Friday, Oct. 10th, 1919:
WITTY BLUEBEARD
AMUSING PARIS
It is probably no original remark
to say that among the French, even
their rascals have a vein of grace
and gallantry that no other race can
boast of save in the pages of fiction'.
A case in point is that of Landru
internationally famous as a. modern
Bluebeard, who is accused of having
caused. the death of a dozen women.
An account of his alleged crimes has
been given, and while it may have
convinced readers of his guilt, the
evidence itself has so far been unable
to bring about a like result in Paris.
Landru, after having been inprison
for months, and 'questioned a thous-
and times is still unconvicted,' and
there is some chance that he never
will be convicted. There has been
not the slightest bit of direct evi-
dence against him, although' there
appears. to be an overwhelming lot
of . indirect evidence. The state has
not been able to prod ice or identify
the body of any of his victims or
any part of a body. There is a cloud
of suspicion, but not a single light-
ing flash of absolute proof. It is
easier to imagine that Landru • en-
ticed to his suburban home a dozen
women, killed them off, and conceal-
ed all evidences of his crime, than
to imagine the coincidence of the
dozen women innocently vanishing,
and now refusing to come forward
to speak a' word for the man who
had been their lover. '
But Landru has not to prove that
the women are alive; it is the busi-
ness of the state to prove that they
are dead, and a strong presumption
is no more proof in Paris than in
Toronto, although the g means by
which the presecution ` tries to turn
presumption into proof are widely
different. The effort is to , make
Landru contradict _himself and
eventually' break down and confess.
So day after day and week after
week he has been questioned by
Judge Bonin, and has had the op-
portunityl of personally examining
the witnesses brought forward. His
composure through this ordeal., and
the witty remarks which he ad-
dresses now to the Judge and now
to the witness have. made Landru
one of the favorite subjects of dis-
cussion in Paris. Unless the foreign
news is important he can be sure of
finding himself figuring on the front
page of the papers. One day in
August as the judge entered court,
he remarked to Landru's attorney:
"I do not think I shall be able to go
for my holidays," and the prisoner
said; "Alas! neither, I am afraid,
shall I." Again when the judge ex-
pressed incredulity that the prison-
er's sons• had not expressed curiosity
concerning some of his mysterious
doings, he said: "Monsieur, my
children were taught to obey me, not
to ask questions. I very much fear,
monsieur, that your own children

GIRLS! WHITEN YOUR SKIN
WITH LEMON JUICE
Make a'beautY lotion for a few cents to
remove tan, freckles, sallowness.
Year grocer has the lemons and any
drug store or -toilet counter will supply
you with three ounces of orchard white
• for a few cents. Squeeze the juice of
two fresh lemons into. a bottle, then put
in the orchard white and shake well.
This makes a quarter pint of the very
• best lemon skin whitener and co u lexion
beautifier known. Massage this fra-
grant, creamy lotion daily into the face,•
neck, arms and hands and just sec how.
freckles, tan, sallowness, redness and
roughness disappear and how smooth,.
soft and clear the skin becomes. Yes!
It is harmless, and the beautiful results
will surprise you.

Landru replied: "That was a very
delicate' situation, but I am sure
that you understand it. I am sure
that you would have replied in the
same fashion if ithad been your
mistress." There was general laugh-
ter in which the judge did not heartily
join.
Since the trial began it has de-
veloped that some years ago when
Landru was in prison on a charge
of misappropriating funds, he had
been examined by an alienist who
pronounced him irresponsible. Two
years later ' another expert made a
similar report. When these facts
were brought to light it was suggest-
ed that Landru ought to be examin-
ed for his insanity before wasting
time over his alleged crimes, but
when this was mentioned to the
prisoner, he replied: "I don't think
it would be as interesting as the
present hearin. Still, if tine judge
and I could .h ve our sanity tested
at the same t me I : would not ob-
ject." This middle aged, homely
Lothario,. who appears to have exer-
cised almost a hypnotic influence
upon women, may be irresponsible
from a legal point of view, but he
loses little in the exchanges with the
judge, and his frequent displays of
wit are having the tendency to make
him rather a favorite with the public,
despite the enormity of his supposed
crimes. There seems little prospect
that he will always be able to !fend
off his accusers, and his own 'atti-
tude is said to be that of a man
who knows that he is doomed, but in
the meantime takes the keenest re-
lish in the battle with his accusers.
