THE LANDRU TRIAL.
MYSTERY OF YOUNG GIRL.
DENIAL OF MURDER. By Telegraph.—Press Asun —Copyright. Received Nov. 16, 8.20 p.m. Paris, Nov. 15. To-day’s accusation of Landru was unlike the earlier days, which concerned a middle-aged woman of some means, and related to Andree Babeley, a young domestic without money. The police had been unable to find how Landru met her. Landru, rising in the dock, said: “There is no mystery. I saw her weeping at a railway station and she said she had quarelled with her mother. I offered her shelter in my vacant room in the Rue Maubenge, in Paris. Later the girl became ill and went to the Villa Gambols to complete her convalescence. Ijandru admitted he took a return ticket for himself and a single ticket for Andree. He angrily denied that he murdered the girl. He was then confronted with the girl’s mother, who faced Landru and accused him of murder.
