UKE CHAPTER OF -CABDRAU STORY French Couple, Arrested on Ar- rival Here, Charged with the Murder of Rich Woman in Her Paris Apartments. KNIFE WAS IN HER HEART. Prisoners Came Here Under As- sumed Names and WIil Be Held for Extradition Papers “Abroad, ay fram Charged with complicity in a recent Parisian murder mystery, surpassing ‘even the phantasies of those master elaborators of criminal fiction, Poe and Gaboriau, Henri Alfred Thibeouf and his Pretty companion, Marle Piette, are Prisoners in the detention cells at Ellis Island. ..They were arrested at the request of the French authorities as they were about to land from the French Mner Bretagne. Nothing in their appearance suggests ertminal predilections, Thibeouf fs thirty and prepossessing. Marle Plette is chic and twenty. She ts a Belgian. Both were exceedingly well dressed They had plenty of money. Thibeouf @eclares he is a mechanic, but he has fielther the appearance nor manner of one used to labor. His companion is equally refined. They were emphatic but well bred in their protestations of innocence. Like a Gaborian Tale. In the Bois de Colombes, which lies iri the suburbs of Paris, Mme. Tisseau, afi‘ elderly woman, owned a large house fm which whe rented several apartments. Her yome was luxuriously furnished. fre reemed to have few relatives and he rumor got abroad in the neighbor- Mood ‘that the old lady kept her savings ‘fiiddén away in her bedroom. “Deo. 1 Mme. Tissesu was found mur- dbrea Upher ped. Her throat was cut. The wRapon, one of her own silver “Knives, lay beside her. The assassin had Yinsacked her apartment. Her silver- ware, Jewels, trinkets and papers had @isappenred. Tf she had a bank account sthe police could find no trace of it. They gontluded the stories of her hidden wealth were well founded and had proved her undoing, | ‘The only chie the police had to work on was that two well-dressed men, one with several teeth missing. had called on her and Inspected one of her vacant apartments. ‘On the allegation that Thibeouf was the principal in the murder and thet his friend, Marie Piette, was an accom- plfce, the French Minister for Foreign ‘Affairs cabled to have them held. Cou- @ert Bros., counsel for the French Gov- ernment, made formal application to the loge! authorities, and when ,La_Bre- tagne reached her pler two Headquar- “ters detectives, several Customs Inspec- tors and a private detective arrested “the couple. Thibeouf and Mile. Piette awere ordered into a cabin, and told they ‘were under arrest. Their surprise was genuine, «: They were ‘sand -searched, (against the removal of her finery, but @howed no other agitation. Nothing ® jdqvas found on her but a roll of money. > #2 From the man the police took @ large ‘Gwallet filled with money and papers and 'm small revolver of the “pepper-box” ‘pattern, with the bullets slit 6o that YAhey would cause an ugly wound. Their taken to separate cabins gage was sealed and held for the ich authorities, F On the snip's list the couple were en- tereu as second cabin passengers under the names of M. Mongodin und Mme. Jouanne. They readily admi:ted their identity, Thibeouf explained that he had taken the name of a comrade be- cause he was a deserter from the army and had to borrow a friend's papers. Thibeous declared he deserted the army in August, 190), and nad his me after jn Begium, spain and Portugal. Last July he reiucned .o Paris, working as a repairer of auto- mobiles and bicycles.
