VIOLENT SCENES.
IN FRENCH CHAMBER, DEPUTIES COME TO BLOWS. BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT. (Received July 14, 10.5 a.m.) LONDON, July 13. The Daily Mail’s Paris correspondent reports violent scenes in the French Chamber during the debate on the Amnesty Bill. Communist deputies and opposition members exchanged blows, and the President of the Chamber suspended the sitting. The cause of the free fight was a Nationalist deputy’s allegaiton that Marty, who was the notorious chief of the Black Sea mutineers, and is at present a Communist deputy, had desired to betray the country for money, whereupon the whole Communist party and some Socialists left their seats and desperately attacked the centre benches. Marty, followed by other Communists, avoided the ushers and officials’ cordon by running along the top of the back benches, but the giant-like Maginot, squarely blocking the gangway, brushed his assailants aside and repelled the attack singlehanded.
