STAVISKY FRAUDS
PROCEEDINGS AT TRIAL JEWELLERY APPRAISER’S CHARGES. (United. Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) (Rec. 7.25 p.m.) Paris, November 7. There was uproar at the Stavisky trial when Henri Cohen declared that he reported to the Surete Generale that as an appraiser of jewellery at the Bayonne municipal pawnshop he was valuing fake jewellery at the prices of genuine under Stavisky’s instructions. Ten days later Stavisky appeared with Cohen’s letter in his hand, remarking significantly: “I am good to friends, but implacable to enemies.” After this Cohen decided to be wiser and shut his mouth.
The prosecutor promised an immediate investigation into the allegation. Cohen also declared that Albert Dalimier, a former Minister who resigned as a result of the Stavisky scandal, but who was exonerated from any personal contact with the swindler, repeatedly rang up Stavisky and made appointments. There was no further mention of the charges against M. Laval, which the Press dismisses as having no foundation.
