CHAPTER THIRTEEN

There was another inquest In Paris
and, although It does not solve the
crime, It certainly does establish pos
sible motives and gives us a pretty
bright picture OF the possibilities
some Of which develop surprisingly
before this story Is over.
First OF all Presidert-Judge Les
couve, In charge Of the Stavisky In
vestigation, said that Counsellor
Prince had come to him some time
before with the story that he wanted
t. relieve his conscience" In regard
t. the famous scandal. He had q re-
port to make which was more than
important: 1t was dramatic. On his
first visit to Lescouve, Prince had told
his story verbally. Lescouve had re-
CURED him to put it in writing. This
the counsellor had done for the most
part, and the president-judge was IN
possession of Princes official report
While Lescouve was not yet prepared
to reveal the contents OF this, 1t seems
It contained material which would
involve some OF the higher judges Of
the criminal court inext,icably In the
matter of Stavisky's perpetual escape
from the meshes Of the law.
But Princes own personal notes
the unofficial ones-had not yet been
turned over. He was to have finished
and given these to Lescouve on Thurs
day after returning from Dijon. His
son Raymond assured the investigat.
ors that they had been in his brief
case with him In Dion. They were
not found. They had been stolen.
Next the investigation learned that
several days or weeks before his death
Counsellor Prince had been accostet
by g well-dressed man as he left hi
home one morning at 8 rue de Baby
lone. This man had greeted him witt
effusion, had claimed mutual &C.
quaintances and had urged the coun'
sellor to have lunch with him.
Prince decided that this was q bill
too hearty. He politely put the mar
off for lunch, promising vaguely tt

Another witness was Mademoiselle

but I'd like to know what direction
the man you Just sold one took"
Yvonne Taris told the police she
considered it an indiScreet question
and merely turned her back. The
man, she said. wore yellow coat, was
well dressed and had slight foreign
accent. Questioned more closely, she
said she had known NJ Prince since
seeing him at the Palais de Justice

 It was in the drama Twelve Miles Out" and Warren William and Frank Shannon were supposed to engage in a desperate fist fight as the climax of the play, They rehearsed and rehearsed, but the scene was just too tame. They couldn't make it look realistic enough.
 Finally the director, in despera- tion, gave them new orders:
 Just turn out the lights, slap your hands and grunt."
