FILM OF THE MURDER
ONE SMUGGLED THROUGH
NEWSREELS IN LONDON
(Received October 12, 11 a.m.)
LONDON, October 11,
Scotland Yard saw uncut films of the assassination with the object of spotting international criminals. The censor deleted the lynching of the assassin and the close-ups of the dying King as too gruesome for public <?x----hibition.
Tho Marseilles police impounded films of tho procession showing tho assassination, and prevented tho transmission of such films to America.
However, despite the vigilance of the authorities, who instructed the Imperial Airways pilots to see that no films of the assassination were flown to ~England, one film corporation succeeded
in smuggling newsreels of the shooting to London, where they have been widely screened.
The "News-Chronicle's" Paris correspondent says that drastic measures against certain high police officials are expected today for alleged laxity in not protecting King Alexander.
■ ""We know the Police Department is gangrenous," says "La Liberte." "It is also incapable."
