LONDON, jan. THAT there We're
eight or more desperate men, armed
with the most modern of high power
automatic pistols, barricaded in the
Sydney Street house during last
Tuesdays battle with the police and
Scotch guards, was proved tonight
when searchers came across six ad-
dittional charred bodies in the ruins.
Two were found Immediately after
the battle. In addition 10 the bodies,
the police found one of the most com
plete coming plants they have ever
seen outside the royal mint. AS many
of the dies were for foreign countries,
the continental police have been no
tilted, and an interchange of cables
indicates to the police that the men
we're connected with an international
band of counterfeiters.
Perhaps the most startling admis
sion of the police. however, is that the
dead men may have had no connec
loon whatever with the recent tragedy
in Hounds Ditch, when three unarm
ed policemen were shot to death by
a band of robbers engaged in tunnel
ling their way into large iewelry es
tablishment.
1t is certain, however, from evidence
discovered in the burned fortress thai
the dead men were connected with the
earlier Toltenham outrage. with the
notorious bank robberies in Scotland
and with number.o other darjns
crimes which Scotland Yards has
been unable to fathom. That tht
men were desperate criminals there
can be no doubt. but the belief is
| lessening that they were notorious
anarchists. In spite of this, however
there are many officials connected
with Scotland Yards who still main
tain that the men were merely en-
gagged in counterfeiting and othel
bold crimes to secure money Will
which to carry on their propaganda
of anarchism and nihilism.
In the ruins of the Sydney Stree
house tonight near the six charres
bodies, the police found number o
ingeniously constructed time bombs
which had not exploded.
The mechanism of these bombs in
dicates that they were the handi worl
of some master mechanic. The grea
