MESRINE Jacques (1936-1979) nicknamed public enemy number on - Lot 64

MESRINE Jacques (1936-1979) nicknamed public enemy number one. 2 L.A.S. to Jeanne Schneider, Fleury-Merogis prison, September 15 and 16, 76. 4 pp. folio. Letters marked "F1". On September 15, he mentions Sabrina again, then announces, "Did you know that Madre has just been appointed Chief Examining Magistrate as a reward for investigating my cases. All he's got left is my murder case." He adds, "I don't know if you've read today's 'L'Aurore' and Jean Laborde's article about me, but it's promising! [] As Laborde says, "The Palais de Justice will be under siege on the day of my trial [] I'd like to put my escape case ahead of all the others! but it's unlikely! []"; on September 16, he's back in his first cell, the one he'd left 13 days earlier, which particularly exasperates him, under the guise of a joke he threatens the prison warden "I'm joking, because if I really want it it's name, address etc that I'm going to get []".
