FRENCH BLUEBEARD.
ANOTHER SENSATION. ALLEGED VICTIM TRACED TO CANADA, tA. and N. Z. Cable.) PARIS, Feb. 16. Land™, though under sentence of death, appears determined to maintain the grimmest cynicism to the last. The Petit Journal has received from Montreal a letter from a Frenchman who declares that lie has been informed reliably that Madame Hoon, one of Landru's alleged victims, was buried in Montreal a few months ago. When the letter was shown to Landru’s counsel the latter replied: ''l shall bo mystified to tho last. When I last 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 eleven women and burnt them with a lighted candle, which did its work well.” The French Consul in Montreal has been ordered to verify the statement in tho letter.
