LANDRU'S CYNICISM.
FATE OF ALLEGED VICTIM.
CANADIAN BURIAL REPORTED A ind N.Z. PARIS, Feb. 16. Landra appears determined to maintain grim cynicism to the last. The Petit Journal received from Montreal a letter from a Frenchman who declares he was informed reliably that Madame Heon, one of Landru's alleged victims, was buried in Montreal a few months ago. When the letter was shown to Landru's counsel he replied: "I shall be mystified to the last. When last I saw Landru in his cell I implored him to hide nothing from me. Landru replied: 'Very well, I will confess absolutely everything. Sit down and listen. I took H women and burned them with a lighted candle, which did its work well.' " The French consul at Montreal has been ordered to verify the document.
