SERIES OF GRIMES Asylum Aflend'am Accused of Killing ‘Many Inmates. Parls, Dec. 29.—Whenever Leon Thabuis, keeper of the feeble minded ward in an insane asylum, wanted ‘a. drink of absinthe his favorite tipple, he killed one of the inmates entrust- ed to his charge, according to the po- lice theory, and with the 20-cent bonus allowed him for the extra work in- volved in the death of an inmate kept himself supplied with the drink. Thabius is facing trial for what is belleved to be the most gruesome series of crimes ever committed in France. An investigation into his rec- ord as keeper of the ward in which idiots and feeble minded persons were’ confined followed the death of an old inmate. It was found that the man had been strangled. Thabius said he killed the man in self-defense after being attacked by him. Thabius’ rec- ords showed a death every other day for the preceding fortnight. ‘When the bodies of the inmates were exhumed it was found that every one had been strangled. Other ex- humations showed dozens of similar cases. Everything pointed unmis- takably to the attendant’s guilt. The officers now say Thabius took the franc bonus and spent it for ab- sinthe, an over indulgence in which is.believed to have made him a crim- inal pervert.

New York, Dec. 29.—As Samuél Leiberman was going over his . ac- counts at the desk in his lunchroom he glanced up to see a forlorn and tat- tered old man with white beard and hair looking at him appealingly. He asked what was wanted. The visitor, who looked as if he might be eighty, asked if he could have some coffee and bread as:he had not eaten in sev- eral days and felt he could not hold out much longer. Leiberman motioned him to a chair at the first table and told a walter to bring some hot chicken soup and cof- fee. The old man muttered his thanks and as the waiter put the soup before him uttered a cry, threw up his arms and fell backward on the floor. A phy- sician was summoned and said the man was dead of starvation. INVESTIGATE STOCK COUP Exchange Committee Probing Rock Island Episode.
