LANDRU’S TRIAL.
A DISORDERLY SCENE. By Telegraph.—Brew Assn —Copyright. Paris. Nov. 26. The prosecution at the Landru trial has closed its case. Anatomists gave evidence in connection with at least three distinct bodies, as three skulls, five feet and six hands had been found. One person was tall and had good teeth, while another was short, with bad teeth. Landrus counsel ironically asked an expert if he would add the color of the hair. Landru protested that he had not been shown the bones when they were discovered. M. Legasse, representing the relatives of one dead woman, jumped up and cried angrily: “You want ua to show you the bones; there they are.” There was an uproar in court, Landru heatedly shouting, and the president, the publie prosecutor and two counsels all speaking together for some minutes. Landru asserted that the bones had been put in the garden after he left Gambais. Evidence for the defence has commenced. —AllB.-N.2. Cable Assn.
