MEAUX, France, August 28.—The brutal slaying of a simple country girl by her rich admirer from the city s re-enacted in a field near this sterday, while a crowd of 1,500 persons, Parisians and peasants gazed on the spectacle morbidly. In Paris, miles away and in all the big d towns of France, millions of others eagerly awaited details of the spectacle in the afternoon papers.

A steady stream of automobiles tame from Paris bearing spectators fnd all the rounds around resounded With the clopping of the sabots of the villagers hurrying to the spectacle. Guyot's long, low, red automobile was hicusht out by the police and the Recused placed the wheel. A big policemun sat beside him playing the | sole of the dead girl. Guyot then Wwas told to demonstrate how he had ®trangled his sweetheart with his right hand and drove with his left. Unperturbed. Guyot stepped on the as, pretended to argue with the po- iceman and. gripping the wheel with his left hand reached over with his ¥ight und clutched the thick necked Eendarme by the throat. Guyot told the police that he thus €hocked the girl to death with his re- lentless grasp. When she slumped down in her seat dead, he said, he turned off on a side road and stopped by a hayfield. With much animation, he showed how he dragged the body ©f the girl from the car and placed it on the new mown stubble near a haystack which was found completely Eurned when the body was discovered y the police.

SAYS MANN But Leader of African Expedition for Zoo Plans to Give Young Animal Personal Attention on Voyage. Dr. Willilam Mann, who is heading the Smithsonian-Chrysler expedition after wild animals for the Washington Zoo, is going to try mighty hard to bring that giraffe his party has cap- tured safe and sound back to Wash- ington. But he admitted in a cable- gram to the Smithsonian today that it is going to be a hard job and he can’'t guarantee it. The giraffe, Dr. Mann cabled, is only & feet tall, which indicates that he's a young fellow who has many more feet to grow, as his cousins some times attain the height of 18 feet. In addition, he is described by Dr. Mann as “delicate,” which means that he may succomb to sea sickness or one of the diseases which attack these animals in captivity. Nevertheless, Dr. Mann added to his brief cablegram the fact that he is going to live with that giraffe him- self on the long journey back home, and that means something in favor of the giraffe. Dr. Mann, in addi- tion to being a sclentist, knows a lot about animals. He is going to take care of the giraffe himself and watch every sign which might indicate the animal is getting sick. Dr. Mann said that the ship which will bring the animals back to Wash- ington will sail from Daressalaam on September 4, and the wording of his cablegram indicated that this will be the last chance to get the animals back this year. Dr. Mann intended to try to bring back at least four wiraffes, but, the fact that he must sail one week from today probably means that ke must give up the idea of getting any more giraffes and bring only tais one back. ‘The animal i3 now 80 miles from the rallroad, Dr. Mann said in his ¢ablegram. s and girls should not get Experienced Motion Picture Machine Operators and Assistants All who have had experi- ence in a Metien Picture Booth Apply Mr. Machet Park Theater 4618 14th St. N.W.

I had not seen her since, but we had corresponded in.a friendly way, and when I wrote her I expected to go to California by automobile she want- ed to make the trip with us.” Spann sald- there was no question of an engagement between himself and Miss Franklin. He denied that she had killed herself because of a broken romance as far as he was concerned. A coroner’s jury returned a verdict of death by gunshot wound, but left the cause open. The pistol which killed the young woman was one she brought with | her. Before leaving Ardmore she re- marked that it needed repairing, and there was some bellef that she was working with it and that it acciden- tally discharged. Spann and Farmer were requested by the sheriff to remain in Childress until the arrival of Miss Franklin's mother. —_— A railway is to be built through Zululand. and bath. SATURDAY, AUGUST 28. 1926.
