Clever Trap ne & * IN PRI a ee NCE ING Police Again Play Dumb Is Revealed UEST ee” By FULTON THATCHER GRANT CHAPTER THIR’ Part I ‘The inquest's first move, naturally, | was an attempt at identification. Ad- yocate-general Durant, one of Albert Prince's best friends, was hurriedly called for and brought to Dijon where he viewed the sad remains of the man. Identification? Such as it was it was based upon the remains of the deceas- ed’s head. Advocate-general Durand testified that he recognized the back of the head as belonging to his friend, Counsellor Prince. Now this is important. In view of the mystery surrounding Prince's death I must call attention to the fact that this incomplete identifica- tion, plus the convocation found in the brief case mentioning Prince's name, were the only pieces of evi- dence ever offered to show that the body was that of the Counsellor. As for the immediate examination of the remains, doctors called in found no trace of wounds, no bullet-hole, no sign of a knife-thrust on any portion of the scattered cadavre. From this fact two possibilities were establish- ed: (1) that he had been poisoned, doped or intoxicated before being tied to the rails, or (2) that he had been bound there alive. It remained for a thorough autopsy to determine which. Next comes a study of Prince's own movements. It was shown that he took the 12:32 train and reached Dijon at 4:40 p. m. on February 20. The counterfoil-half of his round trip ticket was found. Purthermore it was established that, upon arrival, he had gone to the tele- graph office at the station and sent the following message to his wife: Arrived. Going to clinic. Consul- tation at six o'clock. Doctor Halling- er says state as normal as possible. Albert. The original script of this tele- gram, in Prince’s own handwriting, was found. It was sent at 5:08 p. m. But here are two astonishing facts in this connection: (1) Mme.

Charles Prince is Dr. Ehringer, not Hallinger. Albert Prince knew him very well. And strangest of all, Dr. Ehringer |himself had never heard of the fam- ous telephone call, had never ‘phoned nor caused such a message to be sent. Fell Into Clever Trap could be no doubt that Counselloy Prince had been called into a care- fully laid trap, enticed away from Paris by a false call, and killed by someone who wanted him out of the way. But the investigators, checking his Movements in Dijon, learned that he leaving a small suit-case, and had gone away, brief case in hand. He Was next found at the Combe-aux- Fees in fragments. Here is the official itinerary as es- tablished: 4:40—arrives at Dijon station 4:45—Hotel Morot 4:55—returns toward station 5:00—sends telegram Then he is lost to view. Before! long Inspector Belin of the Surete Was sent out to Dijon on the investi- gation. But Inspector Belin, the “big city” sleuth, seemed to get exactly nowhere. In fact his first report to the press was inclined to favor the theory of suicide! Suicide! Suicide!!! The press Pounced on the word. Hat not the Surete Generale already insulted the intelligence of the public with the “suicide” story of Stavisky? Was this to be another absurdity of the same nature? Prince, ® man who probably knew more of the details in the Stavisky case than any other living soul, is called out to Dijon by a fake telephone call—to see his mother on her sick- bed when she is not ill at all; sends a wire back to his wife which avers that Dr. Hallinger (and there is no such doctor) calls his mother's state “as normal as possible,” vanishes in mid-air and is found several hours later with nis body in pieces on a ao track, And they call it “sui- cide.” So much for the cleverness of the national police, the Surete. Not only that but Judge Pressard who, as you will remember, had been transferred under the sanction of Daladier at the same time Chiappe had been “promoted to govern Mor- cco”, came in for some sharp criti- | clsm by publicly crediting the theory of suicide. We shall speak more specifically of | M. Pressard shortly. | Advance Girl-Friend Theory Another theory, brought forward! by no-one-knows-who, is that Prince had deceived his wife and had gone to Dijon to see some girl-friend. It add- ed that the girl-friend was of the un- derworld and that she had a mac- quereau (@ very special sort of boy- friend), unknown to Prince, who ar- ranged with her to avenge some spite or jealousy on the counsellor-judge. Now this is not a pretty theory. It does little credit to the private life of M. Albert Prince. It was shown, as & matter of fact, that his private life was immaculate and that any such suggestion was absurd. But M. Camille Chautemps, ex- Premier of France, permitted himself to suggest, publicly and at the Cham- ber of Deputies, that Prince's death could be ascribed to just such a sordid cause. “Cherchez la Femme” was the idea. Chautemps, by the way, is the brother-in-law of M. Counsellor Pressard. However, leaving these specula- tions, let us return to the facts re- vealed by the police, meager as they were. In Dijon it took the investi- gators some twelve days (to March 4) to obtain the following material. Re- sult: They were no nearer the solu- tion of this crime than they were the moment they found the body. But here is what they learned. A station master from Plombieres testified that he had seen, toward 7:30, a large, rich-loozing closed car stand- ing parked near the railroad tracks on the road to Tallant, just a few me- ters from the scene of the crime. After carefully checking at the cen- tral it was learned that no telephone call had been sent through to Paris from Dijon at eny time near that when Mme. Prince received her fatal message. The concierge or janitress of the boarding house where Mme. Charles Prince lived in Dijon, in the rue Con- dorcet, reported that two men had called during the month of January and had asked about Mme. Prince, name of her regular doctor who was, to be sure, Dr. Ehringer. Furthermore a servant in the same house reported that a woman had pre- sented herself at the house, had asked for Mme. Prince, had requested the servant to take her card up and had waited for a reply. The maid said that she found Mme. Prince all ready to go out, but that when she delivered the card the old woman had seemed annoyed and had said, “Tell her I'm Then, in view of these facts, there | had gone straight to the Hotel Morot, had registered and taken a room there, | THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE.
