"PINK SILK SHEETS."
[CAUSE OF CRIME FASSIONEIi. LONDON, May 15. "I want pink silk sheets in my trousseau," said fair-haired Christiane Aubin, to her fiance, Andre Bourdin, a promising young engineer. Although she was conducting several - intrigues, he believed that she was unsophisticated. His dreams of the future were shattered, however, says the Park correspondent of the "Daily Mail," when he discovered a cheque in her favour signed by an elderly admirer. Bourdin hurried to the admirer's flat and found him sitting up in a pink silk sheeted bed. Rushing to Aubin's dwelling, he drew a revolver and shot her dead. The tale of his tragic love so moved the jury that they acquitted him.
