Paris, June 15.
A missing wallet is believed to hold the secret of the assassination of Professor Carlo Rosselli, the famous Italian anti-Fascist economist, and of his brother Nello, the historian.
Since the murder was discovered near Bagnoles de l'Orne on Friday night, police have received information that the wallet contained papers of vital importance, whose publication would have greatly embarrassed the
Italian Fascist authorities.
This wallet was, the only object removed from the pockets of the murdered mun.
Following investigations amongst the numerous foreign vinitors at the spa of Bagnoles, a young Italkan with plastered blonde hair was held fori questioning to-day.
MEN IN CARS
His description is stated to coire- spond to that given by a girl who, cycling home. on Wednesday night (when, it has been established, the erine was committed) almost sur- prised the assassins in the act.
She saw four men standing by two cars drawn up at the roadside a few feet from the spot where tho hodles were subsequently discovered. At her approach two men Jumped precipitately into each car and drove off.
The dagger found near the dead meu bears the same of a Florence Arm, and It is therefore thought possible that in order to irace the whereabouts of Carlo Rosselli the assassins followed Nello from Florence to Bagnoles.

The annual report of Lieuten- ant-Colonel A. H. L. Mount, Chief Inspecting Officer of Rail- waya, issued recently shows that the high standard of safety on British railways is being fully maintained.

In both train and movement ac- eldents the casualties among passen- xers, servants, and other persons totalled 335 killed and 8,038 Injured. The number of fatalities is the some as in the previous year, when the injured totalled 7,509, and compares with the annual average of 308 for the period 1930-34. The average: number of injuries for this period was 7,132.
The comparatively small increase in casualties is attributed to the greater incidence of movement ac- cidents. Many such casualties, the report states, are attributed is sug- Rested as the only means by which improvement will be effected.
