ANOTHER CRIME
Committed at Paris, by
Bandit Anarchists.
Chief Of Detectives Shot Dead,
Another Seriously Wounded.
Another Murder, in January, Has
Been Traced to Gang.

Paris, April 24.-A further crime was
AIDED, this morning, to the long list of
those recently committed by the gang
of bandit anarchists which is terror
izing Paris. Assistant Superintendent
Jouin of the Paris detective depart
ment, was shot dead and Chief Inspec-
tor Colmar seriously wounded while
trying to arrest one of the gang nam
ed Gallot at Petit Ivry, suburb of
Parish, today.
The bandit, after shooting the two
well-known detectives, succeeded in
.escap ping, although he was pursued by
q number of policemen and civilians.
1t is believed that he was wounded By
a bullet from one of the polieemens
revoivers.
The Partisan public has been arous-
ed by this latest crime to the general
opinion that the gang must be sup
pressed.
Another double murder, that of an
aged man and his wife. who were
beaten to death in the month of Janu
airy in the village of Thias on the
Zine. has been traced definitely to the
same gang of bandits, and this brings
over a score. 1t is known to the au
thorities that many of the gang are
still at large.
Prefect of Police Louis Lepine says
that Assistant superintendent Jouin
with four detective inspectors, went,
this morning, TO the refuge of Bonnet.
wne is known as the Demon Chauf-
feur," and with GARNER. is a leader of
the gang The detectives were un-
armed, as the law does not authorize
the use of arms by them while they
are searching domiciles. Bonnet, who
was at first mistaken for Galot, anoth-
er bandit, was found in his lair. When
the detectives arrived he opened fire
on them, shot Jouin and Colmar down,
flooored the rest and then jumped
through O window. Brandshing a large
revolver he cleared his way along the
streets and escaped to the woods,
leaving a trail of blood.
Premier Poincare visited Colmar m
in the hospital, this afternoon. and in
formed him that lie would receive the
