PERFECT MURDERS

GO

WRONG

GENERALLY speak-

ing there are two

sorts of murder-premedi-

tated and unpremeditated:

says

so there are roughly two Peter Cheyney

types of murderer; first, the man who thinks the whole thing out carefully and docs it; and second, the one who just does it and thinks after- wards.

The murder committed, both find themselves confronted with the same difficulty the disposal of the body.

And it sometimes happens that the second type of mur- derer, his brain clarified by the realisation of his 'fearful deed and his own danger, produces, with tho sudden brilliancy of panic, the better schome for getting rid of the body of his victim.

This typs fuckily ́is rare, and is usually confined to murderers of "artistic" nature on whose highly strung nerves fear has a "tonic" effect

How 10 dispose of the body? That is the question.--It is one which interests many. Innocent people who, reading of a murder case, discuss-

That is the question which every murds face to face with the mute must ask himself when he and accusing body of his victim.

What will the police do? Where will they look?

Shall he bury it as deeply as pos alble as Wiedmann buried a victim? Shall he take lonely cottages and distribute, bury, and burn cut as Landru

did?

Shall be use the technique of the surgeon; study books of anatomy BO that his knife may dissect into small pleces n body that may be hidden here and there?

But

there is always the head. What shall he do with the head?

Shall he use an acid and a bath? But the acld must be obtained, and having worked out his murder, chemists ask questions and some- decides on, one of two post-murder times remember faces. courses of action.

But for his carelessness in dispos- ing of the pellets he would havo escaped.

BLAZING CAR CRIME

N outstanding example of the A second type of murderer (the wise one) who plans complete destruction of the body, thereby obviating any possibility of identify- ing the victim, is, in my opinion, Alfred Bouse.

Rouse who was a logical and cicar-thinking murderer of the Landru (the French "Bluebeard") type-decided that the best means

THE first of the new-Columbia records I have played this month is one of Chopin'a Plano Sonata in B flat minor. The planist is Kilenyl.

This record is excellent. There is a Chopin Mazurka on the sixth side which also is extremely well played. Another blue-ribbon production is the H.M.V. record of Cesar Franck's Violin Sonata. The players ore Heifetz and Arthur Rubinstein.

Experience has taught one that great names, though possessed by players who are magnificent each in their own sphere, do not of necessity combine Into a workable ensemble. But in this case there is nothing to

RUXTON'S MISTÁKES.

Ewe seek a case where the murderer "used" diabolical cunning in the prep¤ration of bla plot only to nullify all his thought by two faluous mistakes, we noed not look farther than that of Dr. Buck Ruxton, of Lancaster,
