Gaoler Made Made

For Bridal Pair ESCAPE RUSE

MOVES COURT

Paris, April 1.

THE story of a sentiment al gaoler, of the prison cell which he made comfortable for a wealthy prisoner to receive his pretty young bride (at £5 a visit), and of the bride who contrived her husband's escape, disturbed to-day the judicial solemnity of the Seine Assizes.

New Kitchens, 20 Cooks, For Palace

London, Mar. 31. Buckingham Palace is to have new. kitchens and if M. Logros, Queen Elizabeth's Parisian chef, copies to full scale the hotel kit chen he has set his heart upon, the palace will need 20 cooks and 10 dishwashers when running at capacity.

One of the first things Queen Elizabeth did when she took over her new home, which looks more like a midwestern high-school than a palace, was to inspect the kitchens. She decided they would never be adequate to the demands of coronation entertaining and the dozens of banquets planned. Legras was sent to inspect famous London kitchens.

In the dock stood blonde Christiane Pelissier; charged with helping her ex-banker husband to escape from the cells of the Palais de Justice.

Pelissier himself, beldegroom and escapee, is in a Belgian gaol sen- tenced for using a false passport.

The story moved the court. The rather pathetic, pale young bride ap- neured almost to be a badly-treated Mme. Cazenavette told of the ruse by woman. Then prosscuting counsel which she had freed her husband..

PRISONER CONE

Pelissier, awaiting trial for bank frauds in the Sante Prison, was from time to time taken to the Palais de Justice to help recountants in their investigations. Then he was under the care of guoler Vallet.

"I never believed that amlatite, affectionate people could trick me," exclaimed Vallet. Fer- suaded by the couple, he prepared a special, well-furnished cell for them, where he would lock them in together and leave them for whole! afternoons. The cell became known as the "love cell." It was never used for ordinary prisoners.

After three months Christiane call- ed one day, bringing' secretly £200 Luigi's kitchen, built to his order, and a false key to the "love cell." She cost £4,000.
