ARRESTS IN PARIS
ANOTHER STAVISKY AFFAIR? Received Dec. 25, 5.5 p.m. PARIS, Dec. 23. A section of the Press is discussing the arrest of Suzanne Linder and Herr Rosenfeld, and there is talk of another Stavisky affair. The action was taken as a result of suspicions being aroused- in the mind of a junior stenographer in Madame Linder’s department, from which a number of documents were alleged to have been found to be missing. A cablegram from Paris on December 21 reported that a sensation had been caused by the arrest of a handsome widow, Suzanne Linder, employed as secretary at the Quai d’Orsay for alleged complicity in the forgery of documents to facilitate the export of arms to Spain. Madame Linder had a suite of rooms at a fashionable hotel incompatible with her salary, but said that she privately conducted an estate agency which police allege was the centre ol an extensive arms traffic. Her wealthy Lithuanian friend, Hen Rosenfeld, had also been arrested. Madame Linder is a niece of the late M. Phillipe Berthelot, former Secre-tary-General to the Foreign Ministry.
