While StaVlSKy was I1celnB 1TOH the scene of his fantastic career that ranged from petty theft to financial wizardry, police and court officials nervously fingered records whose repercussions they were be- ginning to imagine. In the corri- dors of the Chamber of Deputies politicians whispered uneasily, and with reason.
 They foresaw trouble, although not even the most imaginative could tell that a month later, on the night of Feb. 6 they would be huddled in those corridors in ter- TOT. listening to the roar of a bat ting mob, punctuated by the crack of guns.
 Trial Starts Next Week
 Next week 20 persons, ranging from deputies. two editors and a mayor down to Stavisky's shady man-of-all-work, and including the swindlers beautiful widow, go on trial The case has been called for Nov. 4. But the gigantic bond swindler that nearly brought rev. olution never returned from that ride to the Alps. ...
 There will always be controversy over what happened, because for every fact known there is a vital question remaining unanswered. On Dec. 23-the day the first arrest of the affair was made-Stavisky was called to the Surete Generale and questioned.
 It has been alleged that he was deliberately warned by inspectors whom he had bribed that his game was up. Whether they warned him or. not, the fact remains that soon afterward, with one Pigaglio, he sped to Servoz, near the Swiss from tier. Their arrival there coincided with the issuance of warrant for Stavisky's arrest in Paris.
 Two days later Pigaglio appar- ertly took fright and returned to Paris, and Stavisky went to Cha monix. There he found Henri Xoix, a weak little "stoolpigeon" whom he had employed as a person. al errand boy and spy. Voix had hired a cottage-the now famous Villa Chagrin-and secreted the swindler there. For four days they remained hidden-Stavisky, Voix and the latter's girl friend, Lucette Almeras, According to one of voix's stories, they played "bel- lotte." the national card game.
 Police Surround Cottage
 On Jan. 2, police discovered him and, according to the official ver- sion, the prisoner ended his career by shooting himself in the temple. For 12 hours he lay where he fell, and only hen was he taken to a hospital, where he died.
 There will always be those who insist the police killed Stavisky on instructions from high up to keep him from talking. Perhaps Voix could tell. In any case, Stavisky's end is by no means the only mys- terious death in his, sordid wake.
 Thus, while the storm grew daily to terrific proportions, it's author ended a life which is more fantasic than fiction but too sordid to be TO- mantle.
 Stavisky was born in 1886 near Kiev, the son of Polish Jewish dentist, Emmanuel Stavisky, who

Sylvia Sidney and Claudette

don't feel at ease.
In the case of Miss Sidney, she
thinks she has a very good reason
as to why she never is seen out
in public.
IT don't like to even talk about
this" demonstrated Sylvia, "but
I'm always afraid I'll be thought
a bore at these affairs. I don't

Maybe I'm lazy, I don't know.
However, I much prefer to stay
at home in the evenings reading

knitting fad in a serious manner,
and I like it immensely.

is one salient fact that seems to
