ABSTRACT

Doyen would have referred to the testimony he had given about the Bor Mines before the examining magistrates Langier, Gibert, and Martin. The statement he had made to the examining magistrate, Pierre Laval went on, about the ceding of the shares of the Bor Mines was surely clear enough to contradict the assertions of General Doyen. The witness had incriminated Laval on the sale to the Germans of the shares of Hachette and Havas. Laval absolutely denied making such statements. The same Laval was accused by Mornet of an anti-Jewish policy when in fact Laval had laboured to sabotage German demands for anti-Semitic measures and for Jewish deportations. In the course of the court session, Laval further wrote the Attorney general had said that he, Laval, had furnished notes to the examining magistrates and that these notes proved nothing and added nothing.
