.MOTHER OF 8 DIES IN NOOSE WITH LOVER Pay With Lives for Kilting Woman's Husband for Secret Affair. CALM ON SCAFFOLD Clandestine Romance Story One of Drab, Lonely Life in North Country. By United Press HULL. Quebec. Aug. 23.—Mrs. Marie Viau. mother of eight children. and her lover, Philibert Lefebvre, were hanged today after admitting they killed the woman's husband so they might carry on their clandestine love affair. Two postponements during the night lengthened the hours that the 42-year-old woman and her 32-year-old lover had left to live, but shortly after 8 a. m. they were hanged on the double gallows brought here from Montreal. She was the sixth woman to be hanged in Quebec. fit black flag flew over the county Jail and a crowd of the morbidly rurious thronged nearby streets at time of the execution. Lefebvre preceded Mrs. Viau to the gallows. Shortly before 8 o’clock he was led from the little Hull jail up the nine steps to the trap and at 8 a. m. the trap was sprung. After he had been pronounced dead Mrs. Viau was led to the gallows and the trap was sprung at 8:16 a. m. The couple bore up comparatively well through the last minute arrangements. Story of Lonesome Life Both wept and were near collapse when they were taken from the Montreal jail Wednesday and brought here, but they soon overcame the first hysteria and waited calmly for death. The story of the love affair between the motherly Mrs. Viau and the war-veteran lover is one of the drab, lonesome life of the backwoods country in the north of Quebec. Zephir Viau and his wile had a email farm. The income froja the it w acres was small. Zephir had to go to the lumber shanties to the north in order to earn sufficient money to support his large family. The loneliness became more acute for the woman, with her husband away so much of the time. She met Lefebvre. Their chance acquaintance grew into a love affair. Viau learned of the affair. He warned his wife and Lefebvre. But he could not remain home to see that his orders were carried out. Fed Poison to Mate Then, according to the confessions the couple made, Mrs. Viau exacted a promise from Levre that he would marry her should anything happen to Viau. Shortly afterward, when Viau went to the shanties, he was given pills in which there was poison. Mrs. Viau said later she gave her husband poison in soup and in medicine. He died suddenly, his death being listed as natural. The parish priest of Montpelier, the district where the Viaus lived, did not believe Viau had died of natural causes. He complained to the authorities and they ordered the body exhumed. In the viscera chemists found sufficient poison to have caused the deaths of six people. Mrs. Viau and her lover were arrested, confessed, tried in Hull and convicted. None of the woman’s children was at the trial and Lefebvre also was without sympathizers. for he has no relatives living in this community.

MAJOR BATTLE IN MANCHURIA LOMSJEAR Chinese and Russians Mass Huge Armed Forces for Conflict, FIGHTING IS BITTER Five Days of Border Clashes Are Believed Prelude to Big Scrap. BY RANDALL GOULD United Press Staff Correspondent SHANGHAI. China, Aug. 23. China and Russia trembled on the brink of war today as observers predicted the imminence of a major conflict between great bodies of armed forces on the Siberian-Man-churian border. The predictions were based on the maneuvering of large units from both sides into positions of startegic importance. General Chang Hsueh-Liang, youthful war lotd of Manchuria, ordered the mobilization of the entire reserve forces of the three northeastern provinces Heilungkiang. Kirin and Fengtein—which are estimated to number at least 120,000 men. Troops Move North Official reports from Peiping indicated that 50.000 Mukden troops were moving northward by way of Taonanfu and that in addition heavily loaded troop trains from Kirin province were moving toward the border by way of Changchun. While most of these troops are believed destined for the western border, where fighting has been frequent in the vicinity of Manchuli, some of the strength is expected to be diverted to the eastern area in the vicinity of Pogranichnaya. Chinese intelligence officers, reporting on the Soviet concentration cn the Manchurian border, assert that the Soviet Union has between thirty thousand and forty thousand veil-trained troops in position. Both the Chinese and the Russians have large forces concentrated near Manchuli, near the western border, which is the western terminus in Manchuria of the Chinese Eastern railway. Believe Clash Certain Observers believe that the five days of border clashes between the opposing forces, none of which has attained the rank of a major engagement, are but the prelude to a conflict on a far-flung front. The last reported clash along the border was said to have entailed bitter fighting in which tanks, armored cars and field artillery were brought into play. Many casualties have been reported from the.border i fighting, but Chinese reports indi- . cate that the Russians have been repulsed in every instance. Chinese : troops are under orders to invoke | only self-defensive measures and to avoid adopting the offensive.

The Zeppelin, with nineteen passengers and a crew of forty-one, left the Kasumigaura naval base at 3:13 p. m. today (1:13 a. m. eastern standard time) for Los Angeles, a flight of approximately 6,118 miles.

If Dr. Eckener manages to evade storms and maintains the high speed across the Pacific that he did on the flight across Siberia from Friedrichshafen to Tokio, he should reach Los Angeles before noon Tuesday. The Zeppelin’s voyage is the first non-stop flight across the Pacific ever attempted by any 'type of aircraft. Departure Was Delayed All passengers went abroad at 2:25 p. m. for the flight across the Pacific oceon to Los Angeles, the first trans-Pacific dirigible flight ever attempted. The passengers had been ordered aboard Thursday night but winds prevented a takeoff then and they returned to their hotels. Damage to the rear motor gondola and typhoons to the northward had delayed the departure of the Graf Zeppelin for two days. Shortly after noon today, however, weather reports handed to Dr. Hugo Eckener, the commander of the huge air liner, indicated that his course along the Aleutian islands and down the Pacific coast over Seattle, Portland and San Francisco to Los Angeles would be almost entirely free from disturbing elements. The Zep was walked out of the hangar at 2:55 p. m. (12:55 a. m., Four days are expected to be consumed in this third stage of the , four-lap journey about the globe. Lakehurst in Week With 11,080 miles of its 20,000-mile . circuit of the globe completed, the Graf Zeppelin faced a journey of approximately 6,000 miles to Los Angeles, and then across the United States to Lakehurst, its starting point. Dr. Eckener hopes to reach Lakehurst in six days’ flying time, not counting a stop of probably several days in Los Angeles. If he achieves his object, he will have flown around the world in twelve and one-half days’ flying time, and probably about twenty-two days elapsed time, which would be anew record for circumnavigation of the globe. With his probable route lying on a great circle north of the Kurile islands and across the tip of the Aleutian Islands down to Seattle and Los Angeles, Dr. Eckener has some 6,118 miles to cover—or about 700 miles less*than his flight from Friedrichshafen to Tokio across Siberia. The latter flight took 101 hours 50 minutes, so with fair weather he should reach Los Angeles before noon on Monday. City to See Zep Indianapolis probably will get its long-awaited glimpse of the Graf Zeppelin when the huge dirigible, after crossing the Pacific, flies from Los Angeles to New York on the last lap of its round the world trip, it was announced at St. Louis today. T. B. Clement, T. A. T. general traffic manager, said that Dr. Hugo Eckener, commander of the Zeppelin, had been invited to make use of „ the T. A. T. weather bureau and radio facilities on the cross-country * trip over the transcontinental air- • way, which is lighted for night flying, in order that he may not be ’ delayed by unfavorable weath conditions. The route would be over the following cities: Kingman and Winslow. Ariz.; Clovis and Albuquerque, N. M.; Maynoka. Okla.; Wichita, Kan.: Kansas City, St. Louis, Indianapolis and Columbus.
