Aug. 31 (U.R) The mad butcher Of Rue Lesuer was no Nazi propaganda myth, but swarthy and sinister-looking. with the sadistic features of a krafft-ebing nightmare and the cleverness of a scientist. And he probably is the bloodiest of all bluebeards. Police were none too happy about Dr. Marcel Petiot, who, according to Nazi newscasts. murdered and burned scores of persons most of them women during the occupation. There had been some suspicion that the whole thing was a Nazi in vention. "A mvth?" a nnlice official t asked. "How we wish he were. I He is only too real. We already have identified S4 victims and heaven only knows how many more there are." Petiot, who still is listed in the Paris telephone directory, escaped and led police a chase through France.
