LANDRU'S VICTIMS.
BONES IN THE STOVE. PARIS, November 27The case for the prosecution against Henri Landru, who is charged with, the murder of 11 women, has closed. Anatomists who examined the remains found at the villa rented by Landru at Gambais gave evidence that they belonged to at lease three distinct bodies, as the debris of three skulls, five feet, and six bauds were found. One person was tall and had good teeth. Another was short and had bad teeth.
Landru's counsel ironically asked one of the experts if he would add the colour of the hair. Landru protested that he had not been shown the bones when they were discovered.
M. Lagasse, representing the relatives of one of the dead women, jumped up and cried angrily: "You want us to show you the bodies; there they are. : ' Uproar followed, Landru shouting angrily, and the President, the Public Prosecutor, and two counsel all speaking- together for some minutes. Landru asserted that the bones were put in the garden afteT he had left Gavnbais.— (A. and N.Z. Cable.)
