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

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
