SCALDED TO DEATH
SHOCKING FRENCH MURDER. (United Press Assn. —Telegraph Copyright.) (Rec. 5.5 p.m.) Paris, October 24. Yet another monstrous murder has been perpetrated, this time at Montpellier, where Jean Tourel, a former municipal employee, was scalded to death by his wife and mother-in-law. The latter disapproved of her son-in-law having control of the family s business affairs, so persuaded the wife to prepare a cauldron of boiling water which was hurled over Tourel while he was asleep. Tourel died quickly from shocking burns. The wife was sentenced to life imprisonment and the mother-in-law, in view of her age, to ten years solitary confinement.
