FRENCH PLOTTERS
FURTHER REVELATIONS CAGOULARDS' ACTIVITIES PLANS FOR A CIVIL WAR By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright * (Received January 11, 5.5 p.m.) PARIS, Jan. 11 "The Cagoulards affair is entering upon an entirely new phase," said M. Dormoy, Minister of the Interior, in an address to journalists. He alleged that Locuti, an engineer in the Michelin factory, confessed that he had placed a bomb in the offices of the Federation of Employers on September 12, while Macon, who had since joined General Franco's troops in Spain, took a bomb to the metallurgical offices.
Locuti added, said M. Dormoy, that Maintainier, an engineer, and Moreau de la Meuse, a wealthy industrialist, had assisted in the preparation of plans for the manufacture of bombs. All three had been arrested. They belonged to a notorious terrorist organisation, which aimed at provoking civil war in France in order to lead to a foreign war. The Minister said a second confession was made by Thomas Bourlier, an officer in the Army reserve, whom de I'Oncle revealed. The authorities, after Bourlier's confession, which referred to the details of the Cagoulards' Army and police, made searches of 16 houses and seized numerous documents.
