' There has just been enacted an astonishing prison drama culminating in a double murder, the central figure of which was Joseph Uiraudot, who was arrested for murder in 1926 and esoaped. He obtained a position as kitchen man and formed a 1 alson with the cook, Louise Dervaux. They quarrelled, and she betrayed him. He was rearrested and escaped again. He ascertained wlieie Louise was employed and shot her dead . and also critically wounded a Chinese man-servant who was her lover.
Giraudot then surrendered to J .+e police. He says he intended committing suicide but unfair statements in newspapers made him his decision and he decided to defend his honour.
