Bluebeard of France Dies on a Guillotine in Versailles
June 17 Paris report says Eugere Welmann, German bluebeard, was executed at dawn in Versailles for murdering Jean de Kove, a Brooklyn dancer, and five others. His body and head were buried in the convict's corner of Les Gonards cemetery, alongside his prized holy medals, as more than 5,000 spectators watched the grisly spectacle. The crowd included the farm boy Jean Le Blanc’s sweetheart and the girl’s mother, both said to have been duped by Welmann.
