FRENCH BLUEBEARD
‘ PAYS WITH LIFL
GUILLOTINE TOOK OFF HIS HEAD
AT EARLY HOUR TODAY.
Versailles, Feb. 25—Henri Desire
Landru, “Bluebeard of Gambias,” con
victeg of the murder of ten women and
one hoy, gave his life this morning in
exchange for the eleven he had taken.
The triangular knife of the guillo
tine fell at five past six, the slight de.
lay causing many to think that Landru
was making a confegsion,
“It is an insul{ to me,” Landru said.
“Had I any confession to make, !
woulq have made it long ago,” He
refused the sacrament but convm‘sedl
a few moments with the priest.
The Guillotine was erected only
a few feet from the main entrance
to the jail. Landru walked the steps
without faltering. An executioner’s
assistant caught him abou the waist
and levelled him on a table, which
ws immediately suspended. The
‘heavily weighted knife slid down,
and the whole affair was over in
less than twenty seconds.
The crowd which was kept at
such a distance that it saw nothing
of he details uttered no cry. The
silence was only broken by bugles
sounding the reveille in the nearby
barracks and the Angelus bells.
