PARIS, APRIL 15.

M. LEON TROTSKY (or “Mr. Sadoff” as he per- sists in calling himself) to-day made a laughing-stock of the French Surete-Generale and villagers in the de- partment of Seine-et-Marne, just outside Paris, when he was found secretly residing in an expensive villa at Bar- bizon.

:

Trotsky is afraid of an attempt on his life by White Russians. An atmosphere of mystery thus pervaded the household. Villagers never saw a movement in the gardens during the day, but much gossip was caused by mysterious comings and goings at night.

Finally the arrival at the house of a mysterious motor-cyclist, riding without lights, caused the Surete- General to rush a large force of detectives to the villa,

with the Chief Magistrate personally taking charge of operations. A raid was carried out, A bearded man with revolvers on the table was found. He was Trotsky, with every right to be there.
