Finally the bobbies restored order: over 60 youths were arrested on charges ranging from burglary to assault...
Perkins claims that he was strolling on the pier after refusing-an aging degenerate's offer of 2,000,000 francs for one of his paintings-and the painter. Con Man Jean-Claude Brialy says he spent the night of the crime trying to peddle his kid sister to a tourist.
