Reports from Stockholm on the eve of the armistice anniversary say Heinrich Himmler’s Gestapo keeps the home front under tight control. Nazi leaders meet to strengthen security lines, hold quasi military party formations in readiness, and tighten oversight of industrial and port areas amid morale worries.

Fakery Used In Getting De Marigny Prints
Nassau Bahamas November 10 Attorney General Eric Hallinan summed up the prosecution case against Alfred de Marigny in the Bahamas supreme court. Chief Defense Attorney Godfrey Higgs argued a fingerprint in evidence was faked to convict the accused son in law of Sir Harry Oakes murder. Higgs urged acquittal on murder charges tied to the bludgeoning and burning of the aged millionaire last July. De Marigny sat in the prison cage as Higgs spoke. Justice Sir Oscar Bedford Daly would deliver the charge tomorrow and the jury would then deliberate. Nancy de Marigny, Sir Harry Oakes daughter and the final witness, sat watching. Higgs asserted de Marigny is a foreigner but should not be tried for prejudice. He questioned the fingerprint evidence, noting Captain Barker says he cannot locate the print origin. The defense labeled the print lifting as suspect. Sea FAKERY, Page Two
