The country was in the throes of the most disastrous depression this nation has ever known. None found it tougher than the isolated Canadian farmers who had no market for their produce. That's why William J. Larocque and Emmanuel Lavictoire decided to go into the murder business for fun and profit. Both men owned scrub farms about a mile apart near L'Orignal, Ont. No matter the amount of toil they expended. nothing seemed to lift them from the abject poverty they en- dured day by day. Both men were approaching 60 and had been close friends for years. During the severe winter months, huddled beside their Quebec heaters puffing away on their pipes, they plotted to insure the lives of acquaintances, murder them, and make the deaths appear to be terrible accidents. It is doubtful if Larocque and Lavictoire ever considered the possibility of being caught. They acted openly, with little regard for con- cealing their actions. Athanase Lemarche was to be the diabolical pair's first victim. Athanase's father, Felix, was an elderly gentleman who resided in the township of Cumberland. Speaking as a friend of the family. Larocque approached Harvey Cameron, an agent for Manufacturer's Life Assurance Co, about insuring young Athanase. Cameron, ever on the lookout for prospects, thought it a great idea. Accompanied by Felix and Larocque, the young man was issued a policy for $5,000, with double indemnity in case of accidental death. Father Felix handed over the first premium of $62.50, a princely sum during the depression, and was promptly nam- ed beneficiary. Athanase. who apparently was not all that swift, was then boarded out with a Mrs. Desjardim. This kind soul ran a home specializing in the care of the mentally afflicted. Not satisfied with the sum of $10,000 on Athanase's life, Laroc- que was successful in obtaining another $10,000 on the boy's life through Northern Life Assurance Co. Again Felix was named the beneficiary. Athanase wasn't long for this world. On April 4, 1930, he accidentally fell off the ferry dock at Masson, Que., and pro mptly drowned. Chief witnesses to the unfortunate accident were none other than our friends Larocque and Lavictoire. Daddy Felix collected from the insurance companies, but never seemed to be able to hold onto the loot. Larocque and Lavictoire only had to ask and Felix would cough up the amount requested. Lavictoire bought a new truck. Larocque picked up a sleek new Ford. It has been suggested that Felix was in on the plot to murder his own son, but in light of future events, this avenue of inquiry was never fully in- vestigated. However, there seems little doubt that the two men were blackmailing Felix. Everything had come 'up roses for the two friends now turned murderers. They looked around for additional vic- tims. Insuring their prey proved to be more difficult than it had been with the unfortunate Athanase. Many applications were refused. For some reason, when they applied to La Societe dos Artisans Canadienne Francais Insurance Co. for a $5,000 policy on Leo Bergeron's life, the application was accepted. When the policy was issued, it of course contained the double indemnity clause in case of accidental death. This time Larocque was named as beneficiary. Leo Bergeron was a poverty stricken young farm laborer. It had been his misfortune to desperately need $10, and to have asked Larocque for some help. Larocque, never one to overlook an opportunity, hustled Leo down to the Bank of Nova Scotia in Rockland. The manager loaned Leo the ten spot and had Larocque sign a promissory note. In this way Leo was indebted to the cunning Larocque. By ROBERT EVANS MOSCOW (Reuter) --- A racy new novel about the monk Rasputin and his royal liaisons on the eve of the Russian Revo- lution has captivated Russian readers -- but also won official condemnation as a bourgeois and antihistorical work. The novel. Just Before the End by Valentin Pikul, with its colorful language and almost explicit sex scenes, became a literary sensation when it ap- peared in instalments this sum- mer in the monthly journal, Nash Sovremennik (Our Con- temporary). It portrays the last Czar Nicholas II and his consort Alexandra as licentious libertines and contains what some Russian Jews see as a strong element of anti< Semitism. The 51-yearold Pikul. who has published several works of historical fiction, describes the book as a documentary novel and bases much of his account on purported memoirs of court- Racy novel about Rasputin captivates Russian readers Leo, who labored long and hard on the farm of Eugene Morin, began to smell a rat, or I should say rats. He had a premonition that Larocque and Lavictoire were planning to kill him. During the harsh January of the year of 1932, both Laroc- que and Lavictoire took turns trying to lure Leo over to Larocque's farm. Leo stubbornly refused to budge. He told Morin that he knew that he would meet with foul play if he ever ventured onto Larocque's property. The two schemers persisted. They offered the young lad more money in one month than he could make in a full year working for Morin. Leo finally consented to visit Larocque at his farm. Lavic- toire accompanied him. Once at the farm Leo saw Larocque waiting for him beside a barn. A team of horses stood harnessed to a small portable thrashing mill. Leo walked in the barn. Larocque n0n~ chalantly asked him to close a cowshed door. Leo complied. When he turned around the two men rushed him, jabbing him in the groin, hands and arms with pitchforks. Leo duck- ed and weaved, screaming for mercy, but the men showed none. Using the handle of the pitchforks they rained blows upon Leo's head with such ferocity that one of the pitchforks snapped as the young man sank to the ground, his head a bloody mass. Larocque and Lavictoire than rushed the horses into the enclosed barn. Being whipped with no place to go, the team bucked and thrashed about, inflicting terri- ble blows with their hooves t0 Leo's prostrate form. Larocque hid the pitchfork handle on top of a dusty Old beam. According to a prearranged plan, Lavictoire dashed across a field to seek help in quieting the horses from a neighboring farmer, Alcide Deschamps. As Deschamps ap proached the barn he could hear the bucking horses and Larocque's obvious attempts to quiet them. With Deschamp's help, the men moved the portable threshing mill out of the barn and settled down the horses. There lay Leo Bergeron, with half his skull crashed away. Within an hour doctors and police were at the scene. Police examined the horses' hooves. They were bloodsplattered. It looked like a pure and simple farm acci-- dent. Before the body was removed, a police officer made a discovery. He found a broken pitchfork handle, on a . It was obvious that the handle had been recent- ly p ced there. Neither Larocque or Lavictoire could ex- plain the presence of the pitchfork handle. The handle wasn't perfectly clean. There was stains on it which were later identified as human blood. Bloodstains were also evi~ dent on the walls, indicating that Bergeron must have received several blows which had bled profusely before he had fallen. Police wondered if any man could stand after be- ing kicked repeatedly by two horses. When the story of the two men's insurance schemes came to light, both men were arrested and charged with murder. Before going to trial the Crown had Leo Bergeron's body ex- humed. Although an original post mortem had been con- ducted, indicating that Leo's injuries were consistent with being kicked to death by horses, this closer examination sealed the fate of the two accused men. Small puncture wounds were found in Leo's groin, arms. and hands. These were the wounds inflicted by the pitchforks, proving that Leo had been struck many times before the horses did their work. Both men were found guilty of murder. On March 15, 1932, William Larocque and Emmanuel Lavictoire walked briskly to the scaffold built especially for the occasion in L'Original, and were hanged for their crimes. iers.

Pikul suggests that Russia came close to defeat by the Germans and Austrians in the first two years of the war only because of the treachery of Rasputin and the empress. whose German origin he stresses. and of Zionist Jews. But many Russian readers who disagree strongly with Pi- kul's version of events say they However, Pikul and his work have come under political and literary attack from the weekly organ of the official writers' un» Ion. The weekly, Literatumaya Rossia (Literary Russia) said the novel is little different from cheap pulp fiction in the West. Pikul's sex episodes are mild compared with Western stand- ards, but they are startling for Russian readers. Literaturnaya Rossia's critic. historian Irina Pushkaryova. accused the author if "revelling in scenes showing the royals and their courtiers engaging in sin." In a rebuke aimed at Pikul's portrayal of his Jewish charac- ters. the critic said the author had shown "a non-class ap» proach" by 'inSIsIcntly empha- sizing the nationality of certain personalities linked to Rasputin and the Czarist clique."
