STAVISKY TRIAL
MADAME’S ORDEAL IN COURT. PROSECUTOR,’S LENIENCY. (U.P.A. by Elec. Teh Copyright) PARIS, Jan. 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 12 to 15 months’ preventive detention on the charges of complicity in the Stavisky frauds. That sentence would mean her release as she has served that period.
The prosecutor added : “She is a good mother and is necessary, to her two children, but she should understand that- having married the biggest crook, of modern times she should not have lapsed into silence and oblivion. She, with a 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- did profit from it.” _
