LANDRU’S TRIAL.
AUSTRALIAN AND N.Z. CAIILE ASSOCIATION. PARTS, Nov. 28. To-day the Laiulru trial was occupied with the Advocate-General’s indictment of La mini, which contained many impassioned passages, in which he desciilied Lamlru as “the Bluebeard of Gambais.” There was little argument or hard fact, however, adduced to connect Lamlru with the murders. The Advocate-General said that some of the public thought it was impossible that the prisoner could have had relations with 283 women, and have murdered ten;'but the crimes of Lanin, were only too real. Tf Lamlru had escaped justice so long, it was only because the detective service had been disorganised by the war. This had made such crime on a wholesale scale possible.
