DUNIKOWSKI’S FEBRUARY 1935 GOLD SUCCESS

In 1935, there was a signifcant demonstration o Zbigniew’s Metalex Process orgold extraction. his demonstration was considered s!ccess!l b" the ex#ert’s

standards and too$ #lace ater %!ni$ows$i’s release rom #rison. he demonstration

was intended to begin the re&ision o Zbigniew’s co!rt case which was intended to

re&ise the g!ilt" &erdict, and restore his good name. Zbigniew '!estioned how the

old (!dgment wo!ld be o&ert!rned and a new in&estigation into the whole matter

wo!ld begin.

these three so!rces that one can

de&elo#ment o the b!siness that

Zbigniew called Metalex.

No$e- here seemed to be a

discre#anc" in -ot"s research

#a#er, and it can be chec$ed with

the news#a#er article in *+ig!re

1.. 2ccording to -ot"s */009,

in his research #a#er and #er the

translation, it indicated that the

earth sam#le was treated

witho!t ta$ing the a##arat!s o!t

o %!ni$ows$i’s #oc$et. owe&er, the news#a#er article a##eared to indicate that

the sam#le was treated while the sam#le was in %!ni$ows$i’s #oc$et. 4ased on the

sie o the Z6 ra" a##arat!s *+ig!re /., +ig!re 3., it wo!ld ha&e been di7c!lt to

ha&e had the a##arat!s in %!ni$ows$i’s #oc$et, !nless he had a wand attachment.

*8ince %!ni$ows$i did not lea&e an" details regarding this #oc$et irradiation, I

cannot confrm nor den" this e&ent, at this time.

2ccording to -ot"s */009, d!ring +ebr!ar" o 1935 the demonstration was

cond!cted with the #resence o the +rench chemist 2lbert 4onn. 4onn arg!ed that

the ex#eriment that he attended on that +eb. 1th was s!ccess!l. %!ring that

ex#eriment, 4onn #ro&ed his com#lete im#artialit" when he bro!ght his own roc$

sam#les which were to be treated b" the %!ni$ows$i #rocess. a$ing #art in the

ex#eriment were the Polish in&entors law"ers, Mr. -egrand rom Paris and Mr.

2meglio rom 8an emo, as well as, nine (o!rnalists rom Ital" and +rance. he

in&entor himsel was absent rom the laborator" or the greater #art o the

demonstration. e a##eared onl" when he had to r!n the radiator o the :Z: ra"s. Inone case, he treated an earth sam#le with :Z: ra"s witho!t ta$ing the a##arat!s o!t

o his #oc$et. In the frst ex#eriment witho!t the action o his :Z: ra" a##arat!s

C!illet co!ld exist witho!t those (!dges who were his arm" o generals.

C!illet wo!ld lose his mind when that whole s"stem wo!ld colla#se in

disarra".

2ter a ew da"s, A. @harles -egrand #romised he wo!ld soon ret!rn with hisentire staE read" or the attac$, and he went bac$ to Paris. In midB+eb. there

was an im#ortant meeting o a large gro!# o (o!rnalists who were

s"m#athetic to A. @harles -egrand. owe&er, among these there were also

those who came as s#ies or C!illet. 2n ex#ert chemist named Mr. 2lbert

4onn arri&ed, and he had wor$ed or the Paris rib!nal. A. @harles -egrand had

anno!nced #!blicl" and in ad&ance that 2lbert 4onn wo!ld be #resent at m"

Metalex demonstration, and it stirred #!blic interest.

he next morning a crowd a##eared at o!r tin" residence. 2ter I ga&e a

brie ex#lanation o m" theor", Mr. 4onn as$ed me to teach him the

combination o o#erations related to m" a##arat!s, and he learned it. 4onnbro!ght some mineral with him, and right ater o!r meal he made a ew

attem#ts. I saw that d!ring his frst ex#eriments m" ex#ert was clearl"

!nim#ressed, b!t then his

e"es began to gleam with

interest.

In the aternoon, 4onn was

assisted b" A. @harles -egrand.

here were a ew eat!res o

the ex#eriment which 4onn

was &er" thoro!gh abo!t, andhe too$ all related saet"

#reca!tions that an" ex#ert

wo!ld ta$e related to wor$ing

with radiation. It was abo!t

midnight when the res!lts

were in. Mr. 4onn had his

res!lts, and he dictated his

frst re#ort to the s!mmoned (o!rnalists. 2bo!t a hal ho!r later, all the radios

aro!nd the world broadcast the amo!s ex#ertFs &isit. 2 series o world #ress

articles co!ld clearl" harm C!illet, and it was $nown that thesedemonstrations made a great im#ression !#on m" enemies.

A. @harles -egrand was an excellent attorne" when it came to domestic

he wo!ld fnd the wa" to o&ert!rn con&ictions in Paris. It a##eared to me that

was a signifcant mining engineer d!ring that time #eriod. e had been an

im#ortant oil ind!strialist in Malo#ols$a, and he was a 4elgian nati&e. e

co!ld s#ea$ in &ario!s lang!ages which incl!ded Polish. I had met him once

beore and that was #rior to the +irst Jorld Jar. e read abo!t that ex#ert

2lbert 4onn while in 4r!ssels. 2t that time, he was in a conerence with an

older wealth" 2merican named Mr. Cross who was li&ing in -ondon and whohad some mining interests. Cross decided to come to see me in order to see

this mar&elo!s in&ention which Pa!l -egrand $new abo!t rom the stories that

he had heard. Jhen the both o them came to see me, I showed them a

doen o the ex#erimentFs eat!res which allowed them to do it themsel&es.

he" saw the whole #rocess or themsel&es which I had cl!ng to in s#ite o

e&er"thing that I had been thro!gh. Pa!l -egrand and Cross sta"ed a ew

da"s in 8an emo, and the" listened attenti&el" to m" stories com#aring it to

Pa!l -egrand’s 8N%I8 I I8)O o it. Pa!l -egrand had earned a

certifcate as a @om#an" 8#ecialist. It was rom his own research st!dies that

he had o!nd the name Metalex *condensed MetalBxtraction. e o!nd me

in his reerence boo$ as the #erson who lost the trial in Paris, and that I had

been b!rdened with the costs. e also had o!nd that I had ret!rned the

Metalex name, and I was no longer associated with it. I had ex#lained to him,

howe&er, since it originated rom the wor$ o m" ather, it was now m"

mother who was the legal heir to Metalex. 8ince m" mother was alread"

elderl", it wo!ld then be #assed down to m" older brother 8tanislaw. 8ince

Pa!l -egrand had $nown 8tanislaw or a long time, 8tanislaw wo!ld act as

Pa!l’s co!nsel in his in&ol&ement in this b!siness.

Cross was interested in this #ro(ect, reall" en(o"ed it, and decided to

#artici#ate. Je all disc!ssed the b!siness together. Je decided that i webro!ght the Metalex @om#an" to -ichtenstein we wo!ld not be #a"ing h!ge

taxes there. Je wo!ld tr" it o!t on a semiBind!strial scale in that location,

and meanwhile, we wo!ld search or a #erson or gro!# that co!ld gi&e !s the

increasing ca#ital we needed or o!r ind!strial b!siness.

2 #artnershi# or s!ch a #!r#ose in +rench was oten called 8ociete % Ft!des.

Cross had decided to (!st in&est in a small wa" in the b!siness as one o the

frst shareholders. Cross anno!nced in ad&ance that he wo!ld not be

in&esting a lot o mone" in this b!siness, beca!se he #laced his cash with a

&ariet" o enter#rises. e was a man who was insanel" sting", beca!se he

li$ed to in&est in big deals in 2merican stoc$s which were essentiall" li$e abowl o so!#. Jhen Cross and Pa!l -egrand agreed on how m!ch the" wo!ld

2t this time and in the !t!re, Cross and Pa!l -egrand had made certain

agreements to contrib!te certain amo!nts o mone". he" became obligated

to me to s!##l" minerals rom the mines o -a$e angan"i$a, since Cross was

a !t!re shareholder in that mining o#eration. In all o these assignments, I

recei&ed tem#orar" signed recei#ts !ntil the arri&al o m" brother when the"

wo!ld re#lace an" obligations into shares or the Metalex @om#an" and whenPa!l -egrand had an o7ce rom where he co!ld direct the @om#an".

2t the same time and on behal o A. @harles -egend and 2lbert 4onn who had

tra&eled to 8an emo, I reGected on m" need or more mone" or this

b!siness. I was obligated to loo$ at osenBMilde. hese g!"s tried m"

#roced!re thro!gh their ex#ert engineer. e insisted that he wanted to

immediatel" fnance the #!rchase o the machiner" which was at m" ormer

location at @a# Martin. &ent!all", there were three fnancial gro!#s in this

and the" are as ollows>

/ osenBMilde @om#an"

3 Pa!l -egrand and Cross @om#an"

I decided to !nite the three com#anies in a common com#an" !nder the

name o Metalex. I also decided to #!t into this gro!# m" mother and her

co!nsel who was m" brother, 8tanislaw. Je created a com#an" which

bro!ght together the #roced!re and the #artnershi# in order o descent.

hese gro!#s were bro!ght together to orm, or the time being, a

#reliminar" agreement.
