MYSTERY IN PARIS.
THREE BODIES IN FIELD. TWO OF VICTIMS STUDENTS. STRANGERS WITH MONEY. NO TRACE OF MURDERER. - By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received August 12, 5.5 p.m.) A. nnd N.Z. PARIS. Aug. 11. A mysterious affair is engaging the attention of the best detectives in France. The bodies of three young .men were found in different parts of a field on the outskirts of Paris. One had been shot three times in the skull and another had been shot in five places. Tlio third body was lying some distance from the others. It has so far been ascertained that two of them were Czccho-Slovakian students who had recently arrived in Paris with a considerable sum of money. It is believed that an acquaintance lured the two men, with the aid of an accomplice, to the field and then murdered them. It is believed that later the murderers went, back to the field and quarrelled and one of them killed the other, which would account for the one body being found removed from the others. The survivor apparently obtained possession of the dead men's baggage, which was at a hotel in Paris, and then decamped.
