Chloroformed in Famous Express

DEAD WOMAN WITH HANDS AND FEET BOUND BY STEEL WIRES PARIS. Chloroformed, gagged and bound, a young widow was found dead, wrapped in a rug, in tho famous StrasbourgVentimiglia express at Beaulieu. No motive for the crime was disclosed. Theft appears to bo ruled out, for though her handbag was empty there was still a diamond bracelet on her wrist and rings of value on tier fingers. Tho result is that the police are interviewing her friends to find out if she had any enemies, or if it is a case of the ‘‘eternal triangle.” The police are working on tho theory that she was killed in revenge. Tho victim was Mine. Suzanne Garolla. She had boarded the train at

Lyons on her way back to Cannes, where sho was employed as manageress of a famous chocolate firm. At Marseilles a ticket collector noticed that she was asleep, completely hidden by tho rug. When three hours later ho passed down the corridor collecting tickets he tried to rousd her. As sho did npt inovp.he pulled the rug, back.. Then he saw a chioroform ( pad fall from her mouth. Her hands and feet were bound by thin steel wires. She 'was dead. Back of this tragedy lies another. She had written to her ten-year-old son to meet her. Ho was there. Tho train came in. No mother. Then came nows of tho murder.
