Paris, Oct. 20.—French detectives,
sent out by the secret service'depart
ment have discovered In the Tyrolese
Alps grewsome Indications of the ex
istence of a death trap for tourists
which has been in operation for several
years.
The men had been sent Into the
mountains to Investigate the mystery
surrounding the disappearance of Dep
uty Alphonse Braunschweig, a 8wlss,
who disappeared August 10. Foul play
was suspected and the detectives
traced the deputy to an Inn In the
Tyrolese Alps kept by a family of
peasants having a very bad reputa
tion. In the lust six years 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 is surmised that he was
murdered at the Inn and his body
'dragged through the forest and thrown
over a precipice. Peasants living In
huts on the mountain side report hav
ing heard the watch dog at the inn
howl dismally during an entire night
shortly before the deputy’s disappear
ance was noted.
While searching In the district u
body In an advanced stage of decom
position was found buried near the Inn.
It Is believed to be that of another
tourist who disappeared a few months
before the Swiss deputy.
The Inn Is In the district lying under
the Jurisdiction of the court at Bozen.
The detectives asked the authorities
for a warrant to arrest the Innkeeper
and his entire family, but were re
fused.
The Austrian ambassador here has
been approached* by M. Halbard, chief
of the French secret service, and has
communicated with Vienna. Develop
ments are anxiously awaited.
