"Poison Belt" Coincidence
Paris, Sunday, May 3.
Sir A. Conan Doyle's letter denying the charge of plagiarism in "The Poison Belt" has brought a reply from M. Rosny.
M. Rosny accepts the dates given by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle for the completion of his book, and says that he did not intend to attack the British author.
He adds that he merely drew attention to the resemblance between his own book, "La Force Mystérieuse," and "The Poison Belt" to defend himself against possible charge of plagiarism. — Reuter.
