BLUEBEARD REAL
,
Paris. 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. He is rumored
to be somewhere with the Ger
man army.
