By the Associated Press, VERSAILLES, December 1.—Henrl Desire Landru, the “Bluebeard of Gambals,” emiled last night for the first time since his trial opened. A flickering expression of emusement crossed his face as he listened to the words of Judge Glibert, sending him to the gulllotine for a series of the most helnous crimes in the history of French jurisprudence. “Thank you, gentlemen!” said Lan- dru, flourishing his weather-beaten hat in a mocking bow to the jury, and he disappeared through the little door leading to the Versailles jail. Consoles His Attorney. While the verdict was awaited, the convicted slayer of ten women and a boy spoke words of encouragement to his counsel, M. Moro-Glafferl, who, tired and worn Out after his strenu- ous efforts to save his client from death, was on the verge of collapse. . “Strange it is that a man standing in the shadow of death should console his defender,” Landru remarked at one time to those sitting nearby. M. Moro-Giaffer} in his address cast doubt on all the evidence produced by the prosecution. He reminded the jury that a person could be proclaim- ed legally dead only when they had been missing thirty years. In support of his client he cited cases of persons who were missing having returned years afterward, when hope for them had been abandoned. He also refer- red to notable cases of alleged mis- carriage of justice based on circum- stantial evidence. Declared White Slaver. “A white slaver, yes; an assassin, never,” exclaimed M. Moro-Giafferi, pointing toward Landru. He added that the possession by the grisoner of papers identifying his alleged vic- tims corroborated the theory that Landru probably had sent the women abroad with false papers in “white slave” traffic. “These women all are alive” said M. Moro-Giafferi, referring to the ten women Landru was charged with “but they are ashamed to ! make their whereabouts known. Make a thorough search of the United States and Brazil, Argentina and other iSouth American countries, and I am confident you will find Landru’'s so- called victims.” Refuses to Ask Mercy. “I am innocent!” Landru shouted to the jury. This was the first time in the thirty-two months since he was arrested that the prisoner had used the word “innocent” in public. Here- tofore he had contented himself with saying: “Show me my guilt; make out your case.” Today, however, he was showing more emotion than at any time during his trial. Landru refused to be a party to Mille- rand to commute the sentence to life imprisonment, which was signed, among others, by the jurors. “I refuse to ask for mercy,” he told the latter. “A man _like me wants Justice, not mercy. You think I am guilty; then let me die!” His remarks after reaching the cell were also characteristic of this strange character, the record of whose deeds as unfolded in the dingy Ver- sailles courtroom has drawn the at- tention of all France and of thousands of persons in other countries. Pickpockets Busy. “It has been a great show,” he said. “I hope the public is satisflea. I give you @ rendezvous for the begin- ning of February or the end of March to show you how an innocent man dies.” The last hours of the trial saw one of the greatest crowds at and around the courtroom ever seen in Versailles. Pickpockets began operations in the press of the gathering while the jury ‘was out and three men complained that their wallets had been taken. “If the trial lasted another day I ‘would be unable to find a seat myself,” Landru told the gendarmes as he sur- veyed the throngs struggling to enter after the recess. Promised Marriage. Lendru seduced his women victims through promises of marriage. After luring them to his valla at Gambais, and crushing the skulls. The stove was one of the principal exhibits at the trial. The motive ascribed to Landru was notebook being cited to pro he kept account of the amounts de- rived from each crime.

MUST HAVE WARRANT. Federal Dry Agents Forbidden to Make Unauthorized Raids. ROME, Ga., December 1.—United States District Judge Sibly has handed down a decislon forbldding federal prohibition enforcement agents from entering places of business or homes in search of whisky without a proper warrant, declaring that any liquor discovered by this method cannot be used as evidence and ‘must be re- turned to the owner. The ruling_was made in the case against A, C. Gross, former sheriff, who was freed by peremptory in- structions from the bench. The evi- dence showed that officers had found part of a still in Gross' smokehouse and another part in an adjoining building. The officers had no search warrant and according to Judge Sibly were Wwithout authority to enter the defendant’s premises.

Happy married life grows out of mutual love, common sense, a great deal of sympathy, patience and for- bearance and a fair amount of good nature on both sides of the table. Cantilever Shoes will not reincar- nate love where there was no love, but they cultivate the ingredients of happy married life. Cantilever Shoes are properly shaped for health and comfort. The flexible arch suppérts the foot rest- fully and yet permits the muscles to keep their important strength by ex- ercise and good circulation. The arch muscles are not restrained as by the rigid shank of all ordinary shoes; the foot feels light and free.

He said he had taken pris- oners over the route in similar vans on fifteen previous occasions without such attention; moreover, the escort ‘was not large enough to allow him to open the doors of the van without the possibility of the prisoners’ escape. ‘When the Moplahs entered the wagon, he testified, they appeared to be in a healthy condition. ‘The policeman described the scene 8 AM. to 6 P.M. prisoners were 1lying down; many were unconscious and the others were sroaning.
