SECRET LANDING
TO MISS MARSEILLES MOB MAN ACCUSED OF MURDERS Australian Press Association. PARIS, 4th July. Piorro Rey, alias Prat, who was ar-rested-in Algiers and charged with the murder of women in Marseilles, was landed secretly at Marseilles to prevent his being mobbed by a crowd of many thousands, who had waited for hours for the arrival of the ship from Algiers. A tug with two policemen went out and Rey was taken aboard and transhipped a mile from the coast to a polico launch and landed at a secret place. Rey wore a seedy black coat, blue cotton trousers, and his hat was pulled down, but his coarse features were not hidden. Rey's only answer to the polico was: "I'm done for. Kill me, but don't bother me." The Magistrate extracted little more, save: *?I have, been, sentenced so many times I have forgotten under what names." Rey ended: ''Now leave me alone. I'll answer when I havo counsel."
