LOVELY EYES OF LA JANA.

Lure Murderer to His Arrest. BERLIN August 2. The fascinating smile and lovely eyes of La Jana, the beautiful new German film star, which have captured thousands of film fans in Germany, have to-day, according to the Polish police, brought about the capture of the Vampire Man, the human fiend who, as recently reported in the “ Daily Express,” has killed three Polish girls and attacked and wounded eleven others. The man is alleged to have made a complete confession of his guilt. He is stated to be Thadaeus Einstein, a twenty-seven-year-old cobbler. While an army of police and 200 police dogs have searched forests for the last ten days, Einstein was living in the garret of a little house in the town of Wloclawek. In full view of the garret window was a cinema, and two days ago the cinema began showing a film of La Jana. A portrait head of the beautiful girl flashed her smile right into the garret. At four o’clock this afternoon Einstein raced across the road and stood staring at the portrait. And at that moment, Watasha Slatek, one of the girls who had been attacked but who escaped, passed by the cinema. She saw Einstein and informed the police, who found Einstein still gazing at the film star’s portrait. A short struggle and he was overpowered. In the police station four of the wounded girls identified him as the assailant. And then, according to the Polish police report, Einstein admitted that within the last three weeks he had killed three girls and had attacked at least eleven others.
