TANGIER, Morocco, Feb. H.
Raisuli, the notorious bandit, died
today, 1t is believed that he was
the. victim of poison plot.
Raisuli first came into interna-
tional prominence when he kid
naped Ion Perdicaris, an American
citizen. The United States govern
ment Immediately despatched war
ships to Morocco and demanded his
release of the sultan. Despite the
young rulers demands, Raisuli held
out and refused to release Perdi-
caris until the sultan made him gov
ernor of the province of Tangier.
He continued as governor until
France and Spain demanded his dis
missal. He then fled to the hills
and began the series of raids, kid
napings and brigandage which made
him the most feared and most
talked of man in northern Africa.
DRAMATIC EscAPADE.
The most dramatic of his escap-
ades, however was the daring kid
naping of Walter B. Harris, Tangier
correspondent for a London news
paper He was stolen from his
beautiful home on the beach of Tan
gier and ransom of $4,000 for his
release demanded.
For more than a month Harris
held out, although he was kent
closely guarded prisoner in Raj
suli's mountain stronghold. When
a headless corpse was bundled into
his room and he was compelled to
live with it for more than a week.
Harris yielded and paid the ransom.
