There was the sum OF 3,000,0O0 francs

"Now for the last scandal" ex.
claimed Dc Lahayo. "Tho committee

ofexanining the scheme comprised II ye
favorable and five opposed. The
eleventh member, before casting hi,
vote, o firred his services 10 the contrary
for 100000 francs. AS the company
refused the proposition. he formed
u syndicate, aided by u banker, and
caised n fall In the shares, compelling
the company TO yield. The scheme
was then approved by the committee,

money and those who did dot."
Understandable confusion followed this
assertion. NJ. Floquet, president Of
| the chamber, asked De Lahayc 10
give names, saying he considered him

therefore, signed by his colleagues.

lieved the charges arose from violent
