that they bad te be examlfvl by micro
scopes. The defense challenges the au
thenticity of the bones, attaching great
Importance te Its claim that the police
of Nantes searched I.andru's villa nt
Oambals en April 14. 1010, without
finding any Ftieh evidence of violence,
although the Paris police claim te have
found them en April us et tue bame
year.
"Wliat lias wen your method et exe
cuting victims by firearms, poison or
strangling?" wr Judge (lilhert's first
question ie Land: u r-- court reconvened
today. The judge admitted that the
prosecution could consider all three of
these hypotheses, recognizing that in
the nt.turc,ef the case it was unnble te
istahllsh any one of them by absolute
proof.
"It would be much simpler te make
tiiv hypothesis that I killed nene at
all." responded I.nndrii.
The prosecution undertook, although
unable tn establish the method of kill
ing, te prove that the alleged victims
were (remitted. Pointing te the small
cook stove, plnced In the center of the
court room, this prisoner shouted de
risively :
"Why. you couldn't cremate a
chicken in It."

ONE MORE KILLED
BY BELFAST SNIPER
Renewal of Rioting Feared by
Authorities Fourteen
New Dead
CARS RUN WITHOUT LIGHTS
Hy tlw Assftclnicd Tress
RelfiMt. Nev. 23. Rclfast's long list
of fatalities ns the result of factional
rioting began te grew early today, one
victim being added almost nt the outset
te the thirteen killed in outbreaks at
tending the assumption of governmental
powers by the new Ulster Parliament
yesterday.
There wr.s comparative quiet in the
city after midnight, and the day opened
quietly, but in view of Inst night's
events little hepe was entertained that
this quietude would be enduring. Fears
cf further trouble were realized by the
time activities were en in Deck street,
n foreman who was engaging laborers
there for the shipyards being picked off
by n sniper. The foreman, whose name
will Rranten, dropped dead en the spot.
Meanwhile precautionary measures
for safety were being tnkch by the
working population, workmen' cars
in the early hours proceeding without
lights se that they might bave better
chances of reaching their destinations
without "asualties.
The 0 o'clock curfew today was or
dei ed Imposed in the affected nrea in
Fast Relfast, and the riot center en tha
Antrim side of the River I.ngan, where
the present troubles arose.
During the morning n woman of mid
dle age was shot and critically wounded.
Oceasieual bursts of firing occurred dur
ing the dinner hour In several districts,
causing pedestrians te tice for safety.
Londen, Nev. 23. (Tiy A. P.)
The first formal cenference between
leprcsentntlves of the Government and
of the S'nn Fein since the meetings be
tween Rrltlsh Cnbln'et members ami the
1'lster rejircseiitati-.es was held In
Downing Street today. Prime Minister
Lloyd Ciiorge and Viscount Rirkcnhead,
tho'Lerd Chancellor, met Arthur Grif
fith and Michael Cellins, the Dall
F.Ircann delegates, who were accom
panied by Damen J. Duggan. After the
conference Lloyd Geerge communicated
with Sir James Craig, Premier of Ul
ster, asking for u postponement of their
conference until Friday.
The Government put Dcferc the Sinn
Fein various alternative proposals for
meeting Ulster's objcitien te the pro
posed nl'-Irelnnd Parliament, ns well
us n suggestion thnt Ulster be left
temporarily as she Is while the rest of
Ireland receives fiscal autonomy, which
would make its taxation less than that
of Ulster.
The Sinn Fein publicity department,
however, declares the Dall Elrcann can
consent te none of these plsns. The
all-Ireland Parliament, I lcelarcs,
must be established at the uset and
net postponed for any term e yea-s.
It likewise insists thnt the I I'dlanient
must be te constituted that Ulster shall
net have mere than her proportional
representation In the body.
Ul-ter objects te any nil-Ireland
Parliament, nnd refuses te nbanden its
representation in the imperial Parlia
ment. It would only discuss nn all
Ireland Parliament, it Is declared, en
the condition that the sit counties bad
in such a Parliament the biunc icpic icpic
sentntlen ns the remaining twenty-six
counties.
Tlie discovery yesterday that a num
ber of machine guns nn.i rifles had been
stolen from the Victeria Rarrncks at
Windser was followed today by news
that n similar robbery occurred Sun
day night at the Chelsea Rarracks in
Londen from which two machine guns
and a number of rifles were taken. The
guns stolen nt Windser have been re
covered at a house in Londen where
they had been hidden.
Galwny, Ireland. Nev. 23. (By A.
P.) Forty political prisoners confined
