Trial in Headless Woman Mystery Heard Monday.
PROVIDENCE, R. I., Nov. 9.—The case of Henry Deslovers, who is charged with the murder of the woman whose headless body was found in the Blackstone river last June, will come up for trial in the superior court here Monday. The victim of the murder is supposed to have been Angelo Delmarle, but the failure to find the missing head has prevented positive identification. The Delmarle woman disappeared shortly before the discovery of the body and witnesses testified that she had last been seen walking towards the river with Deslovers, with whom she lived. Both the man and woman were Franco-Belgians and were employed in the mills of Woonsocket. A week or so ago Desire Capaert, a friend of Deslovers, was arrested as an accomplice in the alleged murder. He was given a preliminary hearing in court today.
