MYSTERY OF GLOZEL.
ARCHAEOLOGICAL FINDS.
EXPERT ALLEGES FRAUD.
(Received Decerxshei 30, 5.5 p.m.) A. and N.Z. PARIS, Dec. 29,
The mystery concerning the archaeological discoveries at Glozel has been carried a step forward. M. Dussaud, of the French Academy, an expert on inscriptions, openly accuses Emile Fradin, the son of the farmer on whose land the finds were made. He asserts that as Fradin's knowledge of antiquity increased the finds became altered, and included more inscriptions. This was so especially after Fradin had borrowed a book on archaeology from a teacher in Glozei. The Paris correspondent of the Times says M. Dussaud demands a judicial inquiry into the alleged discoveries. M. Dussaud says the director of tho St. Germain Museum is preparing an independent report, showing that the bulk of the finds were manufactured out of stones carved with steel instruments.
