FRENCH MURDER TRIAL
PANDEMONIUM IN COURT. A CONVICT’S EVIDENCE. (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) Paris, October 25. At the murder trial at Aix-en-Pro-vence, a druggist gave evidence that he delivered twenty gallons of sulphuric acid to Sarratt in small jars during August, 1925. A convict testified that one of Sarratt’s lawyers sent a letter to him in gaol arranging for a false witness to declare that persons resembling the man and woman, who were allegedly murdered had ordered the bath, thereby removing from Sarratt the blame for doing so. The Prosecutor shouted to the lawyer concerned: “It is a pitv you are at the Bar.” This unloosed pandemonium and the Judge adjourned the Court for an hour, after which the Prosecutor and the lawyer shook hands and the trial proceeded.
