“WHY SHOULD I NOT NAME HIM?”
SCENE AT STAVISKY TRIAL FRENCH PRIME MINISTER INVOLVED United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright (Received November 7, 7.35 p.m.) PARIS, November 6. The name of M. Laval (Prime Minister of France) was linked with that of the murdered Judge Prince by M. Bardi de Fourtu, in an outburst from the dock at the Stavisky trial. Accused of allowing Stavisky to “window dress” prospectuses with his name, M. de Fourtu, who is a former cavalry general, shouted: “How could I not have full confidence in Stavisky, seeing that a highly placed personality, who to-day occupies a still higher position—why should I not name him, M. Laval —intervened with Judge Prince, then Director of Financial Prosecutions, to stop a certain prosecution against Stavisky?” The Prosecutor revealed that inquiries had not yet closed, and further prosecutions would follow without fear or favour. Hayoite, a former secretary of Stavisky, accused the French banker, Senator Baron Maurice de Rothschild, of tricking Stavisky in a £20,000 deal in yearling horses. He further declared that jewels from Ethiopia were entrusted to Stavisky by a company of which Emperor Haile Selassie was honorary president.
