We are informed, Mr. Maguire received an intimation that some thing was wrong" at about 3 pm and he immediately proceeded to 118, Route Pere Robert. He made an inspection of the damage done and being acquainted with the facts proceeded to the French Police Station at Route Stanislas Chevalier where he arrived, about 8.30 p.m. On arrival, he informed the officer in charge who he was and immed iately perceived the 'boy in custody behind the bar in the charge room. M. Maguire, thereupon asked what was the charge against the boy and was promptly told to keep L.quiet it's nothing to do with you.

This was said without making any inquiries into Mr. Maguire's stand ing in the raatter.

Immediately after this, an in- dividual who stated that he was the father of the girl in question and was of Portuguese nationality said You keep quiet, I am prosecut ing in this matter." He refused to give his name and to this moment, we understand that his identity has not been disclosed to Mr. Morriss agent or his legal ad- visers. Repeated requests to the French police in this connection have proved so far, unavailing.
