UNWRITTEN LAW AGAIN SAVES MURDERER.
FRENCH COURT ACQUITS HUSBAND WHO SHOT WIFE’S PARAMOUR. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Aus. and N.Z. Cable Association. PARIS, July 22. Albert Lancel, charged with the murder of Robert Marge, was acquitted. Albert Lancel was charged with the murder of Robert Marge, a French aviator and athlete. Lancel went to Marge’s flat and found his wife lightly clad in the bathroom. A fierce quarrel ensued during which Marge was shot. At the trial Lancel declared that he fired in self-defence. Much interest was taken in the trial, a mysterious woman arousing much curiosity. The woman went in a taxi-cab with Lancel to the flat and waited while he forced the door. Lancel refused to divulge her name. “The tragedy is over. I would not provoke another," he said.
