The bishop of Chartres, the municipal officers, the entire population of the village where the crimes were committed and numbers of strangers followed the biers. Briere, who claimed that the murders were committed by two tramps, ,but who is suspected. of having slain the children himself in a fit o' drunken madness, has not yet confessed, but the authorities are satisfied that ' he is the murderer.
