ESPIONAGE TANGLE
STAVISKY'S CONNECTION EVIDENCE AT INQUIRY LONDON. March 22 One of the greatest crime and espionage tangles of modern times, involving Englishmen, Frenchmen, Germans and Swiss, is slowly being unravelled at the Stavisky inquiry, says the Daily Mail's Paris correspondent. Henriot's evidence, it is understood, has revealed an amazing connection between Stavisky and a Martinique rumrunning gang operating between the West Indies and the United States. Letters have been produced indicating that Stavisky attempted to suborn judges. Investigations by the French police have resulted in the arrest of a spy possessing a dossier on the latest moves in the mechanisation of the British Army. The police are so convinced that London harbours an important cell of a vast spy organisation that M. Liger, a famous French detective, is conferring with Scotland Yard. Yesterday he met the directors of a London bank cpncerning the transfer of large sums abroad. ' M. Liger is also seeking an English girl dancer who was associated with Stavisky's right-hand man.
