Does anyone have any information on this trial and of Count Alfred de Marigny?
This is most certainly footage that has been widely used showing the trial of Count Alfred de Marigny charged with the murder of his father-in-law Sir Harry Oakes, who was murdered in 1943 under notorious circumstances in the Bahamas. The causes of his death and the details surrounding it have never been entirely determined, and have been the subject of several books and four films.
De Marigny, who was 6’5, and is the tall man seen accompanied by a white police officer and black official. He was acquitted and deported from the Bahamas. Sir Harry Oakes is briefly seen in the film (presumably from old film stock) and is the thick set white man wearing a white panama hat in one scene and immediately after is minus the hat. The black barrister – at –law is Godfrey W Higgs who defended.
Amazing - thanks MikeFraser. Sounds really fascinating.
Can anyone confirm that this is the trial of Count Marigny and when it took place?
What are people's theories?
I can confirm the previous comment that this footage regards the trial of Alfred de Marigny.
The location for this footage is Nassau, Bahamas.
Sir Harry Oakes' death occurred in July 1943. The case against Alfred de Marigny began later the same month and ended in November 1943, so the clip's date can very safely be reduced to that year alone.
I attach two newspaper stories of the era confirming those dates.....
