TRAGEDY IN PARIS.
MYSTERY’ OF BODY IN RIVER. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyrlgtt. Received Sept. 29, 5.5 p.m. Paris, Sept. 29. The Daily Chronicle’s Paris correspondent states that the Seine mysteries have been fathomed. On April 8, 1920, & sack containing the mutilated remains of a man was discovered. It was first thought to be a British soldier, then a Canadian orderly, but after eighteen months the police found it was a waiter named Jobin, and they have arrested Jobin’s wife, and Burger, her lover. It transpires that • Jobin found Burger penniless, and gave him food and shelter, and found him a job. Burger lived with the Jobins, and made love to the wife, who assisted him to murder her husband and dismember the body. The couple took the dead man’s savings and bought a cafe. Burger even compelled his stepdaughter, aged eleven, to assist in throwing the body into the Seine. When questioned by a magistrate the girl was so unnerved by fear of her step-father’s reprisals that she collapsed and sent to hospital.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
