‘PASSION’ DEFENSE LEAVES JURY COLD Paris Court Turns On Woman Who Slew Her Lover By MINOTT SAUNDERS Paris, Dec. 12—After two score women glayvers have gone free or es- caped with very light sentences in the Paris courts on the plea of “crime of passion” during the t few monthe, a jury of men has act- ed with sternness and sent an ele- gant middle-aged killer to 20 years of hard labor. Mme. Fabre Bulle, dignified, fash- ionably dressed wife of a wealthy clock maker, used all her feminine wiles in the dock to win the sym- pathy of the court, but she had com- mitted a horrible double murder and her method was harsh and premedi- tated. The usual appeal of having been swept away by love fell flat. Evidece showed that this woman, at the age of 48, bought a revolver and took lessons in marksmanship before she set to work on her vic- tims, A curious aspect of the case was the fact that for 20 years Mme. Fabre Bulle had been a loyal, faith- ful wife. The impulse for flirtation came to her while riding in a anb- way. She was then 43, and she made the acquaintance of Joseph Merle, a well-to-do business man who was 12 years her junior. They fell in love and the woman desert- ed her husband, although Merle told her that he was living with Julliard, a sweetheart of 49. Killed for Love When the new love failed to de- feat the old, Mme. ¥abre Bulle sought to outshine her rival by moving into the Merle household. This went on for some time, With hoth women meeking favor without any apparent advantage. Finally, with determined cruelty, the new- comer shot and killed Merle while he was asleep. and then turned her fire on her rival “He promised to break with her and he had begged me to divorce my husband,” said Mme Fabre Bulle when shes was asked in court for an explanation of her act. She Kept her head bowed, but tried to use her aitractive eyes with mour ful effect, though her attitude dur- ing the (rial was one of patient boredom. Some women slayvers had put it over and she, with wealth and distinction, seemed to feel se- cure. After describing the double killing she said “Why should I say no one will believe me? T tried to kill myself but the trigger was caught and nothing happened 1 wandered about the place not know- ing what to do next.” Husband Testified kvidence showed that had fled to her husband’'s home, but she could not areuse the servants. Scan- tily dressed, she wandered about the woods during the night, and in the morning stumbled into a police station, barefoot and tired.

When the husband was called to te stand he begged the court to try to understand him. He said: *1 am overwhelmed, but I emphasize that for 20 years this unfortunate woman was a devoted and respectable wife. What happen- ed? What mysterious force dragged her into this guilt? It 1s a mystery. “T am divoreced now. She is only a stranger to me. What she did was so unbelievable, so difficult to understand. She was the last per- son in the world I would have ex- pected to enact such a tragedy. She herself closed the door to her home and never opened it again.” The jury deliberated for less than hour and found the woman guilty on every point 1 They agreed to “extenuating circum- stances,” which saved her from a gertence of death she fined 000 £ < 1o relatives of her victims.
