One of his first duties had been to place orders for aircraft in the U.S. to the extent of more than £50,000.

Witnesses Of Crime,

The court had been shocked to hear that Mestorine had actually murdered the unfortunate jewel broker Truphène nct only in the presence of Suzanne Charnaux but also of three of his employees. Onc of thein, a lad of 15, declared that al the evidence he gave at the preliminary inquiry was false. He said:
