Wednesday. The testimony by Mr. Trem- iblay, first cabimet minister summoned by the commission headed by Chief Justice Fred- eric Dorion of the Quebec Su- iperior Court, was mainly con- fined to his July 14 meeting in his Commons office with Mont- real lawyer Pierre Lamontagne. Mr. Lamontagne has testified that Raymond Denis, then ex- eoutive assistant to Mr. Trem- blay, offered him a $20,000 bribe in the minister's office July 14 --with Mr. Tremblay absent-- to agree to bail for Lucien Ri- vard, wanted in the U.S. for smuggling heroin for the Mafia crime syndicate. Commission Counsel Andre Desjardins said Mr. Tremblay will be called again to testify on other aspects of the case. Prison Guard Viewed Attack WINNIPEG (CP)--A former Manitoba penitentiary guard testified Wednesday he saw two prisoners charged with at- tempted murder attack Jean Paul Fournel, a member of the Montreal Santa Claus gang. unidentified Gufy Masson; Rob- ert Gignac, charged with capi- tal murder in Montreal; Eddie Lechasseur, charged with fraud in Montreal; and Mrs. Rivard, whose husband is in Bordeaux Jail in Montreal. MET THROUGH DENIS Mr. Tremblay said he was in- troduced by Mr. Denis -to Mr. Lamontagne after the Commons adjourned on the evening of July 14. He said he had spoken briefly with Mr. Lamontagne about the case of Joe (Bananas) Bo- nanno, a Mafia figure who left. Canada July 30 after vainly try- ing to-obtain Canadian citizen- ship by saying he was a busi- nessman from Arizona. Mr. Lamontagne then was acting for the federal govern- ment, but later was working for the U.S. government, which is trying to have Rivard extra- dited to Laredo, Tex., to face dope smuggling charges. Mr. Tremblay said he and Mr. Lamontagne "'at no time" discussed the Rivard case which, he said, was not an im- migration department matter. He had never met Mr. La- Montagne before. | Normen Matthews, RCMP counsel, said Mr. Tremblay had Joseph Nazarko told a pre- liminary hearing Germain Ber-) nard, 27, and Stanford Roy Set-| tee, 24, attacked Fournel in a) recreation area of Stony Moun-| tain penitentiary. | Nazarko, now a guard at the! New Westminster, B.C., pen-| itentiary, said Bernard struck Fournel, serving life for non- capital murder, about four times with what he termed an "instrument." Earlier medical testimony said that Fournel was later treated for five wounds up to three inches deep in the neck, back and buttocks. Police said) a nine-inch knife was the at- tack weapon. The July 25 incident occurred less than a month after Four- nel was transferred to Stony Mountain from St. Vincent de Paul Penitentiary in Montreal. After the attack he was sent to the New Westminster prison. Fournel was in on a Dec. 14, 1962 bank holdup at St. Laur- ent, Que., in which two police- 4,800 Highway | Deaths Forecast OTTAWA (CP) --The Cana-| dian Highway Safety Council forecast Wednesday that 4,800 Canadians will lose their lives jon the country's highways next jyear--300 more than in 1964-- with 140,000 injured and an eco- nomic loss of $500,000,000.

RELATIONSHIP VAGUE Lawyers then dealt at some length with the Bonanno case, though Mr. Tremblay said he couldn't see its relationship with the Rivard case.
