LANDRU’S TRIAL.
NEARING THE END. CASE FOR THE PROSECUTION. By Telegraph— Fyma Awn.—Copyright. Received Nov. 29, 5.5 p.m. Paris, Nov. 28. At the Landru trial the day was occupied with the Advocate-General’s indictment of Landru, which contained many impassioned massages, in which he described Landru as “the Bluebeard of Gambois”, but there was little argument or hard fact adduced to connect Landru with the murder?. The Advocate-General said some of the public thought it was impossible that prisoner rould have had relations with 283 women and murdered ten, but the crimes of Landru were only too real. If he had escaped justice so long it was because the detective service was disorganised by the war. This made crime on a wholesale scale possible.
