MURDER FOR A ***THRILL"!

TRAGEDY IN RUSSIAN GIRLS' SCHOOL

TRIO OF " AVENGERS."

[British United Press,]

Moscow.A pretty and precocious y elever girl of 10, Zoe Parlors, who murdered her best friend for the thril" of it, was the prota goniste strange tragedy of twisted emotion played out to a tragic finish in a Leningrad bigh school.

The gruesome story was spread on record at a trial at the con-

clusion of which: Zoe was sentenced to ten years imprisonment and her accomplice. Zinaide Yvanova, to three years. In view of their youthfulness and their apparently sincere repentance, the court re- duced these terms to Sve and two years respectively.

AND A SEQUEL.

TWO-HOUR SEARCH FOR "MISSING" FIREMAN,

The story of how a ship' turned back on her course and searched for two hours for a man "over- beard," and how she gave the shrch up as fruitless and continued her journey to Colombo, where she reported the sad occurrence, only to find the "missing" man peace fully asleep on a hatch cover some time later, was related at Colombo when the s.s. City of Lyons put into part from Rangoon.

Abdul Hamid, fireman, on board," was on watch, did not go below, and was reported missing. A care- iul search was made till 5.23 4m. bus with no success.

The conclusion arrived at was that the fireman had fallen over- board. The ship was accordingly turned, round and she went "back My life was gray and tedious." in the hope of picking him up. Double look-cuts were kept and a Zoe explained at the trial in re- counting the origin of the crime.ife-boat and crew were in readi I thirsted for strong experiences, nesa, but a search lasting about two for deep emotions.""

hours proved 'futile.

decided

draw to

Anna

Zukova into her schemes for making life more stimulating. Together they induced a boy one year their senior, George Lensky, to join their trio of Avengers." They took

a formal oath which all three sign- ed with their own blood. They agreed to commit at least one

murder within, a mouth.

H

A boy by the name of Smirnoff was picked as the first victim. He was lured to a school room and was elaborately flattered and made a little drunk Then Zoe brought in the axe with which he was"to. be decapitated.

Plans Go Astray.

At this point Anna and George quit the game. Zoe was furious. in that moment of frustration Zoe decided that Anna must pay with her own life for such cowardice

and

treachery. Perhaps, too, jealousy on account of this power of Antia over George entered into her feelings, though she denied it at the trial.

In search of an accomplice, Anna discovered Zinaide, a class-mate whose face was disfigured by an accident, as a child. "Zinaide was flattered by the sudden attentions of the briliant Zoe and became passionately attached to her.

Skilfully,' week after week, Zoe stirred ber new friend into a fury of jealousy and hatred against her old friend. The ugly disfigured Zinside began to look upon presty and vivacious Anna as a kind of symbol of all her own misery. She was fit lietenant to Zoe when the fatal evening arrived..

- Best In Her Skull,

|

All hope of recovering the man was given up and the steamer con- tinned her voyage to Colombo. Og her arrival the Port Surgeon was informed that the ship's crew" was short by one member, a fireman, who had fallen overboard where the City of Lyons was en route to Colombo.

Later in the morning the "E" of Lyons while she lay at her Flag was again hoisted on the City moorings, and on the Port Surgeon boarding the vessel for the second -time that day, he was informed that the missing fireman had been dis covered in No. 3 hatch of the ship. The man was found fast asleep."

Zoe's parents were away, and the three girls gathered to chat, evitably a quarrel developed be tween Anna and Zinaide. This was the sigaul for a combined attack on Anna. They beat her skull in with a marble candlestick, and tried to finish her, by stabbing in theed throat with a pair of scissors. When this did not suffice, they used A pressing iron. It took an hour for them to kill her.

"When it was over," Zoe told the court, I felt relieved. As if a weight had been lifted from my spirit. My unnatural craving for haman blood had been" satisfied.”

The two girls carried the body to the attic and agreed to meet next day with knives and axes "to eut it into tiny bits.

AN OLD WOMAN'S DEATH.

Two boys, aged 14 and 16, are alleged to have confessed to the brutal marder of an old woman in her bed at Vaucresson, near Paris,

Le Guel or Le Guen, a. grocer's delivery boy, aged 14, and Hélie, chasseur at a restaurant in Rouen, subsequent evidence led to their were arrested for vagabondage, and being suspected of this crime. Hélie is alleged to have made a

statement, which was more or less substantiated by his friend.

Used Iron Bar,

The two boys had become friend- ly in Paris shortly before. Easter, und soon spent what little money they had saved from their last jobe. When the question of procur ing further funds arose, Le Guel said that he had often delivered "groceries at the villa of Mme. Barry, who was reputed to keep large sums of money in the house, and that he knew how they could break in and steal it.

According to the reported state. ments of the boys, they went to Vaucresson and entered the house by the kitchen window. They found Mme. Barry asleep, and Hélie struck her several times on the bead with an iron bar which he had picked up in the garden. While they were searching the room for money Mme. Barry began to shout for help, whereupon one of them battered in her skull and then both left the house.

They had found only 10f, with which they returned to Paris.

Both deny that the murder was premeditated.

The crime was reconstructed in the presence of the boys, while an angry crowd which had collected outside the villa had to be kept back by the police...
