THE STAVISKY FRAUDS.
POSITION OF THE WIDOW. SHOULD RETIRE INTO OBLIVION. (United Press Association—Copyright.) (Received This Day, 12.45 p.m.) PARIS, January 2. Madame Stavisky, dressed in black, with a purple scarf, buried her face in her hands as the Public Prosecutor asked for a sentence of from 12 to 15 months’ preventive detention, which would mean her release, as she has served that period. Madame appeared in court on a charge of complicity in the Stavisky frauds. The Prosecutor added that she was a good mother and was necessary to her two children, but she should understand that, having married the biggest crook of modern times, she should lapse into silence and oblivion. She, with tiie full knowledge of the source of her husband’s wealth, led a life of luxury and dancing. She did not provoke the financial crisis, but she did profit from it.
