There was not the smallest sign of any injury nor
could the player have suffered any pain from a
hifa which produced such marks.

BELGIUM POLICE
AFTER CRIMINAL S
on Track of a Dangerous
European Band.
L GIVES A CLUE

ANTW ERP, Oct. The police believe
they have got on the track of one of the
most daring and dangerous gangs o.
criminals in Europe. The discovery dates
from the wrongly delivered letter re-
ported a few days ago.
A merchant OF Antwerp inserted q b1,s-
mess advertisement in one of tho Io
cal papers asking that replies should be
addressed to number at the neyspancr
Office By mistake the newspaper clerk
gave him a letter addressed TO a number
very similar to his own
To his amazement the merchant found
that the letter concerned a murder COM
nitted in Paris. The writer complained
that although the murder had been duly
performed the proceeds were not al such
as he had been led 10 expect
He added instructions rs TO further
robberies with violence designed for the
near future. The merchant gave the
letter TO the police, and they, working
quietly. arrested at the same moment
the man who wrote the letter and the
man to whom It was addressed-one in
Paris and the other in Antwerp.
Further Investigations have shown
that the men were members OF a formid-
able gang of professional thieves who
never hesitated to murder their victims
when such a course seemed desirable
This gang OF assassns has agents
throughout France. Belgium, and Hol-
land. and II is believed also in Great
Britain. Full particulars have been sent

Dr.. WiEsiow contended also that his

iy that the more civilized the area the
more insanity there Is produced.
