On the next day, Jan- wary 9, the news broke in screamers: “Bta\ found at Chamonix, a suicide!” The papers printed the word in quotes: “Suicide.” “ ‘When Hissier,'in his Bayonne pris- Ltn aun Cay Ba had en his own life, he fairly popped with unbelief. Rn + “Suicide? The hell you say! A man like Stavisky? Never on your life, Til never believe it, never!” And neither did anybody else, ex- cept the Radical-Socialist press and the Surete detectives who produced the body. The Radical press was, pledged to/ support the government] director. and the government was more or less pledged to support its police. And that was a circle which one could call vicious. Typical of press opinion is the e@i- torial of Leon Bailby, editor and pub- Usher of Le Jour, January 9, 1934: «+» Stavisky is found writhing in death-agony, so says the Surete Generale. The Public calls it * “assassination,” and the Public's instinct is seldom deceived. Poli- tical murder disguised as suicide is no longer a novelty in France. And if one gives careful thought to the facts it seems impossible that a man like Stavisky should have harbored, even under the stress of the moment, a desire to depart from this life. The cir- » cumstances of that dramatic mo- » Ment cannot explain his act... Materialist as he was, despising men and mankind which he had found te be easily corruptible, he must have foreseen ® fatal end- ing to his career. Apparently he had hidden several million francs . in foreign countries, safe from the fluctuations of exchange. He could have lived well and comfortably ..+ And even if he had been taken by the police, Stavisky possessed documents which, had he used them cleverly, would have light- ened his sentence and shortened his prison term. No, decidedly, @ man like Stavisky would never ‘have committed suicide. Public Was Cynical” ~ ‘This sounds pretty logical. This article and all the others crystalized public opinion. Public opinion in| France was cynical. Public opinion knew perfectly well that if Stavisky had wanted to talk somebody would have been ruined, somebody would have been pulled down from a high Position. Who? There was already Albert Dalimier, who had recommend- ed the Bayonne bonds. There was) already Gaston Bonnaure, Deputy, who had been his lawyer and who had introduced him to the Hungarian op- tants. It was not a far stretch of imagination to suppose that Stavisky was protected by even more highly situated gentry. Somebody wanted him out of the way. Dead men tell ‘no tales. A man named Pigaglio had signalled to the Surete that Stavisky was some- where in the depart:nent of Haute- Bavoie. That was the early part of January. This Pigaglio was an em- Ploye of Serge Alexandre. His duties included the publicity and advertis- ing for the Empire Theatre. Further- more he had a police record second-class stool pigeon by the na- “I wanted to help the police,” he admitted two months later urder ex- amination, “but at the same time I didn’t want to betray too completely my benefactor.” A nice, clean, depend- able friend.

Niemosynskl was picked up at Chamonix. Under hot questioning, the boxer gave them enough information to base their work on that town, but that was all. Then they learned that Pigaglio own- ed or had use of a villa called “Les Valions,” at Servoz. On inspection it Proved to be in such bad shape that nobody could live there. Finally they earned that the nice villa, “Le Vieux Logis,” at Chamonix had been in- spected recently by a_ prospective client. That seemed odd, for it was out of season. Inspector Charpentier of the Surete paid a visit to the owner of this villa. ‘Together they visited the place, Char- pentier pretending to be another pros- Pective client. The owner showed him around but there was one room which he did not open. “There's something wrong with the lock,” said the owner. I've got to wait for the locksmith of the town. He has gone away to a funeral. Any- how, it’s just a bedroom, like the others on_the second floor.” Charpentier was intrigued. ‘What The Police Said Returning to his men he learned that they had picked up a certain Henri Voix, also a Stavisky man and formerly employed at the office of the famous Public Works Corporation which, by this time, had closed its eect Voix was with his girl-friend, Lucette Almeras. They were market- ing in town, they said. Charpentier telephoned Paris for instructions. Instructions told him to proceed as he thought best. “With three picked men he returned the “Vieux arial and forced the door. The place had a vague air of being inhabited but the mysterious bedroom door was still locked. They decided it would be easier to enter by an out- side window than to force that lock. As they opened the window there was a revolver shot. Inside, on the floor, lying in a little pool of blood, with blood pouring from his mouth, was Stavisky. Near his Rand lay a smoking revolver. That was the end of Serge Alexandre the Magnificent. This sccount is almost word for word what Inspector Charpentier gave Paris headquarters in his second of- ficial report. Between the first re- Port and the second there were some striking contradictions. Furthermore the newspapers—hot on the story at the moment—believed not a word of it. Reason: they already knew some facts and soon learned others which a|ripped the Charpentier story up the Tuatter of bad checks and misuse of| back. funds in connection with a summer camping club... andwasusedasa| = Syndicate) | Convent mena Newspaper Woman Volunteers to End Drouth in Drouth in State With Her Rain-Making Device Solution of the drouth problem ‘nd production of roaring rivers in North Dakota is just a matter of rail- road fare in the opinion of one Wash- ington woman.

McCoy, Carrington, will be a candidate for governor by the “Peo- Ple’s Choice Party,” declared to be a non-party political organization re- cently formed, according to announce- ments sent out from Carrington over the signatures of Frank R. Wells and L, H. Graves, chairman and secre- tary, respectively of the state organi- zation. The announcement asserts that the decision to endorse McCoy was reach- ed at a meeting in Carrington, at- tended by representatives from num- erous counties in the state. The form- al statement said only a candidate for governor will be offered and the party would concentrate its efforts on’ that office. McCoy was declared to be travel- ing in the western part of the state and to have given no indication of his reaction to the endorsement, however, the formal statement expressed eon- fidence that he would accept. The candidate is described as hay- ;| ing been born on a farm in Logan county, W. Va., where he lived until he took up the ministry. He came to North Dakota in 1914 and is said to be widely known by reason of addreas- es to public gatherings and over the Postoffice to Redeem Old Air-Mail Stamps Shipment of the half million head of cattle offered to the government by North Dakota farmers in the AAA cattle buying ee is under full headway, with state extension service forces cunie every effort to get the animals to the processing Plants as rapidly as possible. All available stock cars are being called for in order that the animals may be moved from the farms at ® fast clip. According to a check-up late last week by A. J. Dexter, assistant: direc- tor in charge of the work, 40,139 farms had been visited by appraisers and 429,531 head of cattle had been offered for sale by the owners. Neces- sity for moving this huge number of cattle off the farms has caused the extension service organization in co- operation with the county commit- |tees to concentrate increasing atten- tion to this problem. By July 5 thee had been loaded and shipped 1.473 cars containing 62,496 cattle. and there is a likelihood that thou- |sands of head of additional cattle will ‘be offered by farmers of the state.
