Death in the Rue Vivienne

In the early evening Albert Clement and his wife left the office of Le Cri du Peuple on the Rue Vivienne and started toward the boulevard. A small bicyclist, standing near by in a dark blue beret and shirt, suddenly pushed his wheel into the Clements and fired four pistol shots, killing M. Clement and wounding his wife.

So far as the public knew, there was only one reason why anyone should have wanted to murder Clement. He was managing editor of Le Cri du Peuple, whose fat, loud, ex-Communist publisher, Jacques Doriot, has kept telling the French people that they should acknowledge Adolf Hitler as their Fuehrer.

Last week rumors increased that Adolf Hitler had threatened to replace Pierre Laval, who has not been able to curb French resistance, with Jacques Doriot.
