Paris, To-day.
Events are moving quickly in the investigation into the murder of two prominent Italian anti-Fas- cist exiles in Normandy on Saturday last week.
The murdered men,
Professor Carlo Roselli, and his brother, Signor Sabatini Roselli,
had been the chiew plotters among many Italians exiled for anti-Fascist activities. They were found done to death in the grounds of the Chateau Cou- terne, just outside the Norman watering place of Bagnoles-de-Lorne.
Now the Paris Surete, who have been working feverishly on the case from all angles. an- nounce that they have made two arrests, both foreigners.
The arrested men are

The police do not believe either was actively concerned in commis- sion of the crime but believe that the men knew the murderers and may be able to supply vital inform- ation.
PAST HISTORY Graziano is declared to be sought by the Italian authorities, who want him for kidnapping, for which 12-year prison term awaits him.
Hildesheim is also a shady char- acter, having forged a passport and

remained in Paris after having been ordered to leave by the authorities.
