In a three-way campaign that is already getting heated, Miller is running for re-election against Union Secretary-Treasurer Harry Patrick and U.M.W. International Board Member Lee Roy Patterson.

With that, Police Commissioner Pierre Ottavioli disclosed that the mastermind of the crime was one Pierre de Varga, De Broglie's Hungarian-born partner in several questionable business enterprises. An accomplice, according to police, was another partner, Patrick Allenet de Ribemont. De Broglie had arranged a loan of $800,000 to both men to buy a Paris restaurant, La Ròtisserie de la Reine Pédauque, in which the prince also held an interest. The police said that an insurance policy on De Broglie...
