Paris, Mar. 10.
Publicity is given to a very curious letter written by Lanaru, the day before his execution, to M. Godetroy, the Advocate General, who conducted the case for the pro secution at the Versailles Assizes. Although Landra knew that his end was near, the handwriting of the letter, which covers seven large sheets of paper, is perfectly regular and shows no trace of emotion. Landru endeavours to show that he and the leader of the prosecution were reading each other's mind during the trial, that. M. Godefroy was never satisfied of Landru's guilt but continued to pite evidence on evidence in the hope that the prisoner in the dock would make some admission, and that he knew Landru had guessed his secret. 1 the letter is sincere, we should have to believe that, throughout his trial, Landru was more interested in the psychology of the Advocate General than in his own fate.
