Office Equ \ ' COLUMBIA, SOI maiiHBMnBsii t ' ' FRENCH 'BLUEBEARD* SMILES AT JUDGE J REFUSES TO SIGN PETITION ASKING LIFE IMPRISONMENT INSTEAD OF DEATJjL Henri Desii*e Landru, the "Bluebeard of Gambais," who's trial "was completed at Versailles France, last week, smiled for the first time since his trial opened, as he listened to the words of Judge Gilbert, sending him to the guillotine for a series of the most heinous crimes in the history of French jurisprudence. "Thank you gentlemen," said Landru, flourishing his weather-beaten * hat in a mocking bow to the jury, and he disappeared through the little door leading to the Versailles jaiL While the verdict was awaited, the convicted slayer of ten women and a boy spoke words of encouragement to his counsel, M. Moro-Giaflfori, who, tired and worn out after his strenuous efforts to save his client from death, was on the verge of collapse. "Strange it is a man standing in the shadow of death should console his defender," Landru remarked at one time to those " * sitting near by. He refused to be a party to a petition asking President Millerand to commute the sentence to life imprisonment, which was signed, among others, by the jury. "I refuse to ask for mercy," he told the latter. "A man like me wants justice, not mercy. You think I am guilty, then let me die." His remarks after reaching the cell were also charactistic of this strange character, the record of whose deeds * as unfolded in the dingy Versailles court room has drawn the attention of all France and of thousands of persons in other countries. "It has been a great show," he said. "I hope the public is satisfied. I give you a rendezvous for Hie beginning of February or the end of March to show you how an innocent man dies." , The last hours of the trial saw one of the greatest crowds at and around the court room ever seen in Versailles. Pickpockets began operations in the press of the gathering while the jury was out and three men complained that their wallets had been taken. "If the trial lasted another day, I would be unable to find a seat myself," Landru told the gendarmes as he surveyed the throngs struggling to enter after the recess. Landru seduced his women victims through promises of marriage. After luring them to his villa at Gambais the prosecution charged that he fliiTMaaH nf fto#> hfldioi &11ICU Miyiut ?U1V? uwyvww V* ?? ? ? by burAig them in a small stove, after first cutting them' into small pieces and crushing the skulls. iKe stove was one of the principal exhibits at the triaL The motive ascribed to Landru was that of robbery, various entries in a note book being cited to prove that he kept account of the amounts derived from each crime. The victims . were mostly married women witif small properties who had been separated from their husbands. The evidence was principally circumstantial, the only direct testimony being about a pound and a half of bones, some of the fragments of which were so small that they had to be viewed under microscopes. . , ===== ? mi IIMMIIII ii linn im* .RDWARE CO., | I l% . v m mm i t s and Embalmer | ' / ; OTOR HEARSE ? ^ ^ I ffins and Caskets : I d Burial Robes. ;; Stackley Undertaking Dept. quipped to serve ; NIGHT Night Phone No. 126 :: Supplies for 1922 I is Ledger Sheets I Books Columnar Sheets || ;K IN COLUMBIA | / rnajg Post Binders B if Ledgers Ring Books ? i of Blank Books and Loose Leaf' =* nth Carolina.
