14 KNIFE WOUNDS FOUND IN BODY.
DEAF MUTE DETAINED IN CONNECTION WITH MRS WILSON’S MURDER. (United Press Assn.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) LONDON. May 21. A Paris message states that there were fourteen knife wounds in Mrs Wilson’s neck, breast and back, any one of which would be fatal. There was money in the woman’s handbag, so robbery was not the motive. She had been playing golf and chose to walk home alone. When she did not arrive her husband informed the police, whose dogs eventually found the body in the brushwood. A man’s tom coat, covered with blood, was found near the place where a deaf mute named Vambre works. Vambre, by signs, deifies the murder, but he has been previously charged with assaults on women, and he has been detained at an asylum for degenerates.—Australian Press Association.
