JOHNS, Que. (CP)--Roch Deslauriers, Crown witness in a $10,000 influence-peddling case against Yvon Dupuis, testified Thursday he was pressured into signing two false statements about the former federal cabi- net minister last year. He made the statement dur- ing his second consecutive day of testimony at preMminary hearing for Mr. Dupuis, who left his cabinet post in January at the request of Prime Minister Pearson. The charges were laid in con- nection with unsuccessful efforts in 1961 to get a Quebec govern- ment charter for Mr. Deslau- riers to operate a_ racetrack with pari mutuel betting facili- ties at St. Luc, in Mr, Dupuis' riding of St. Jean-Iberville-Na- pierville. Mr. Deslauriers, a 31-year-old St. Johns chiropractor, said the latest sworn declaration, dated Dec. 26, 1964, contained the false statement that Mr. Dupuis "at no time asked for a gift, either directly or indirectly" in return for his efforts to have the racetrack charter issued. The truth. was, the chiroprac- tor said, that Mr. Dupuis had both asked for and received $10,000 in cash for his trouble. Asked by defence lawyer Raymond Daoust why he had sworn out the false statement, Mr. Deslauriers said he had been under "enormous -- pres- sure" from Real Rousseau, a Dupuis Witness Testifies He Was Pressured To Lie him by Mr. Dupuis as a lead- ing figure in the Liberal party. Mr. Deslauriers said he did not write the statement, but he signed it "to save Dupuis at Ot- tawa." The earlier affidavit sworn out in February of last year stated falsely, he said, that Raoul Go- beille was in Mr. Dupuis' office in the Parliament Build- ings May 9, 1961, when Mr. Des- lauriers handed the Liberal MP two envelopes containing $10,000 in cash, The truth was that Mr. Go- beille, the man who loaned him half the $10,000, accompanied him to Ottawa but stayed in the car while the chiropractor went to Mr. Dupuis' office. There were no witnesses to the trans- action. Mr. Deslauriers said he drafted the February affidavit himself because Bernard Pi- nard, Quebec roads minister, wanted eVidence against Mr. Dupuis. Mr. Deslauriers said - he also had Mr, Gobeille swear. out a false statement to the ef- fect that he had seen the money change hands. COMPLAINS TO MINISTER The would-be racetrack oper- ator said he went to Mr. Pinard last year to complain that, de- spite many assurances from Quebec cabinet ministers, the racetrack charter had not been issued. | He had told Mr. Pinard about giving Mr. Dupuis $10,000 and had said he was beginning to think 'the money had been an outright gift, since there had man he said was introduced to been no action on the charter, moved because his life had been threatened by some Bordeaux prisoners, a high-ranking police official replied: "I have no comment on this. "TI can only say he is being held in our cells at headquar- ters here. We don't see any- thing unusual about that." Mr. Mayrand said the QPP had been rotating the three ac- cused killers. for some time. They are always kept in sep- arate prisons, all in the Mont- real area, and are shifted from time ot.time, he added, THE TIME Ann Landers -- 12.
