been stolen. Another comrade gave
him baggage check for valise left
at q railroad station. which contained

sold him revoIvers which were found
in his possession. but he could not
give the names.
One OF the strongest pieces of evil

THE prosecution holds that his wife
tried to fake up the aIibi. and that It
is certain that Blanchet was about
to denounce the fake when the latter
was shot and has Ssfnce disappeared
Dieudonne says the shooting was
due to jealousy about girl.
