La- flamme, K.C., noted figure in Cana- dian legal circles and a Montreal lawyer died this morning at his sum- mer residence near Montreal, N. K. Laflamme, K.C., was the best known lawyer in the province of Quebec on criminal matters for many years. His legal career was con- cerned with a number of the' most important cases heard .in Montreal and other Quebec cities from 1900 un- til 1925. While his claim to fame must rest primarily on his part as a lawyer for the defense in so many causes celebre, he was also an au- thority on all other branches of Que- bec law and towards the end of life was known as a sound consult: ing lawyer.

Among the notable cases in which Mr, Laflamme figured were the at- tempts of 'the New York authorities to secure' the return of Harry K. Thaw, murderer of Stanford White, the architect, when Thaw escaped into Quebec from Matteawan Asylum in 1912. Mr. Laflamme was one of a battery of counsel Thaw retained in an effort to remain in this country, an effort which would have been successful if the Canadian im- migration authorities had not taken Thaw from the Sherbrooke jail and forcibly ejected him to the United States. He w as also one of the lawyers retained by Mrs. James A. 'Stillman at a Montreal hearing into the unsuccessful = divorce action her husband, the New York financier, brought against her. He represen- ted the defendants in the unsuccess- ful proceedings started under the Bank Act against the officials of the Merchants' Bank after its absorp: tion by the Bank of Montreal.

The Graf's time of 55 hours and - 24 minutes on her eastward voy~ age was about 40 hours better than her westward journey to Lakehurst and 13 hours and 22 minutes bet- ter than her lag voyage from Lake- hurst to Friedrichshafen in Octo~ ber, 1928. So thrilled were the spectators here by the Graf's early arrival that there was a general feeling that if breaking the record was a. good augury, then the accomplish- ment of the Graf's first long hop' on her round-the-world flight spoke well for her chances on the' re- maining three laps. Nels of the Graf Zeppelin's early arrival spread like wildfire through the town and despite the weather great crowds had hurried to the Zeppelin works 'to welcome the airship. A heavy rain fell at noon. The ground crew of the Graf Zeppelin took her in hand quickly and within fifteen minutes the huge airship was' installed inside her' hangar.
