THE GARDEN OF DEATH.
WHERE RICH GAMBLERS WERE j LURED TO DESTRUCTION. | . * Juan Aldigo and his assistant, Munoz, have been condemned to death on six charges of murder at the gambling saloon which they kept at Pcnaflor, near Seville (says the Madrid correspondent of the "Daily Express"). The two men were professional gamblers and tricksters who lured rich men to their den, and, after murdering them, buried them in graves already prepared in the garden. Several wellknown men of Seville had disappeared, and the wife of one of them, named Be.iano, put the police on the track by mentioning that her husband was a gambler. He was traced to Aldige's house and his body found buried in the garden. Further examination brought five other bodies to light, some of which had been buried for over two years. The garden has been termed "The Garden of Death."
