Paris, Oct. 20.—French detectives,

Alps grewsome Indications of the ex
istence of a death trap for tourists
which has been In operation for several
year*.
The own had been sent Into ■ the
mountains to Investlaste the mystery
surrounding the disappearance of Dep
uty Alphonse Braunschweig, a Swiss,
who disappeared August 10. Paul play
was suspectad and the detectives
traced the deputy to an Inn In the
Tyrolese Alp* kept by a family ot
peasants having s very bad reputa
tion. In the last six yenrs many tour
ists have disappeared on their way to
and from excursions In the neighbor
ing mountains, and In every case they
were known to have passed the Inn.
A thorough search of the Inn re
vealed a suit of clothes which had evi
dently belonged to the lost deputy, and
which showed signs of having been
worn by the owner during a violent
struggle. It la surmised that he was'
murdered at the Inn nnd his body
dragged through the forest and thrown
over n precipice. Peasants living In
liuts nit the mountain side report hav
ing heard tho watch dog at the Inn
howl dismally during an entire night
shotily before the deputy's disappear-,
once was noted.
While searrhlng in th. district a
body In an advanced stage of decom
position was found buried near the Inn.
It Is believed to he that of another
tourist who disappeared a few months
before the Hwlss deputy.
The Inn Is In the district lying under
the Jurisdiction of the court at Bozen.
The detectives asked the authorities
for n warrant to arrnat the Innkeeper
and his entire family, but were re
fused.
The-.Austrian ambassador here has-
been approached by M. Haiuard, chief
of the I'rench secret service, and ha*
