INGENIOUS PARIS ROBBERS.
A Dangerous Band Gathered in by
the French Police.
lFrom a CIicaRo II

fFrOm the Chicago Record-1
Recently a dangerous band OF rufisns
was arrested in exciting circumstances in
the Bois de Boulogne. The Bois is never
a safe place after dark, but for some
weeks past there had been a marked in
crease in the number OF robbeTies report
ed TO the police. The details furnished by
the victims made it clear that many Of
these robberies were the work OF the same
gang who had devised a method OF charsc-
teristic ingenuity. On sighting a solitary
passerby they would approach him, de-
clare themselves to be detectives. inform
him that he answered the description Of
criminal with whose arrest they were
charged. and that he must consider him.
self in custody.
Under the pretext of searching their vic
tim they then led him aside into desert
ed corner Of the wood and stripped him OF
all his valuables. while. IL he made the
least resistance, he was severely NAL
treated. In spite Of careful searching the
police were long unable 10 discover the
hiding place of the gang, though il was
believed that they had established their
headquarters in one of the more inacces-
sible thickets of the Bois. This proved 70
be the case
A few nights ago a policeman. who was
exploring the copseS at the back of The
Pavilion Chinois, stumbled on a regular
encampment. BY dint Of laying down
bed Of dried leaves and twisting the
branches into a sort OF roof the robbers
had made themselves a tent in the heart
of a dense mass of underwood. By the
light Of his dark lantern the policeman
was able TO see four sturdy rufians fast
asleep, each with a revolver at his side.
He went In search of assistance. and re-
turned with three Of his colleagues Two
of the policemen proceeded TO crawl
stealthily toward the sleepers with view
10 sezing their weapons. Their comrades
stood by with their revOlvers pointed ready
to fire in case of necessity. The strategy
OF the police was successful, and after
desperate struggle they arrested three Of
the four bandits.
At the police station 1t was found that
their capture was of even more Importance
than had been suspected. The chief of the
band, Eugene Bory. announced with pride
that he was known among his mvrfnfdons
as the Great Cayman," distinctive titls
he had earned by escaping from the con-
Wet settlement of New Caledonia. He had
been transported for a burglary committed
in the house of NJ. valiant, the Socialist
deputy. With three OF his fellow conyicts
he made raft. on which they crossed Che
River Maroni. a stream that swarmS with
alligators and sharks. They landed in
Dutch Guiana. where they lived on croCo-
diles and serpents. Bory obtained en-
ployment In a gold mine, stole quantity
of gold dust and reached England With
