LANDRU’S TRIAL.
A SEVERE ORDEAL. DUE TO FRENCH METHODS. By Telegraph.—Press Assn —Copyright. Paris, Nov. 12. Landru continues to withstand the strain of judicial insinuations notwithstanding the grossly partisanlike attitude of the Judge. Two of his questions give instances of bias. ‘“You look as if Vernon 11 et Villa did not suit your purpose, you probably wanted a quiet isolated place in which to dispose of other women. You had six residences in Paris. Why look for one more?” L&ndru answered non-committally. The Judge then recited various alleged episodes of Landru’s past, some of which elicited loud and callous laughter from the spectators. The accused contented himself with the quietly spoken remark ■ “The crimes of which I am accused are ridiculous.”
