AUTO BANDITS
Terribly PARIS

PARIS. March 25.-Automobue
bandits who i'm February terrorizod
many districts Of France by carrying
out an extraordinary series of crimes
have perpetrated in the last few days
fresh series of daring crimes, which
reached its climax this morning i'm a
murder on the public highway be
tween Villeneu, ST. George and Paris
gang of four bandits who occupied
an automobile ordered the chauffeur
of a private car TO stop. When the
chauffeur refused the highwaymen
shot him dead and wounded The oc-
cupant of the car.
After throwing the body Of the
chauffeur into a ditch the bandits en-
tered their automobile and drove to-
ward Paris.
Kill Two in a Bank.
a band of brigands bearing all the
appearances of being the authors Of
the early morning holdup arrived in
an automobile at Chantilly, the racing
center, at 1890 Four OF the men,
armed with revolvers, entered the
local branch of Paris bank, where
they shot the cashier and another en-
ploye dead and dangerously wounded
third man. The four rufIians then
seized a portfolio containing $4,000 IN
notes. A fifth bandit meanwhile was
keeping guard at the door of the bank
with a loaded carbine, while a sixth
sat ready at the steering wheel of the
motor car waiting to start immediate
ly the robbery had been accomplish
ed. The murderers dashed out, jump
ed on the motor and started at full
speed in the direction of Paris.
Fire Many Revolver Shots.
The alarm had been reased, but pur-
suit was warded off by the bandits
with repeated revolver shots. They
subsequently abandoned the automo-
bile, which was discovered at Asnler-
es, surburb just outside of Paris.
There is little doubt that the automo-
bile had been stolen by them. 1t had
been purchased from a leading firm
on the Champs Elysees and was being
driven to Nice with its owner.
1t was thought that the brigands
had taken the train from Asnleres to
Paris, but a strong force of detectives
posted at the Saint Lazare terminus
has failed to trace them.
May XIII Police Officials.
Public opinion is greatly aroused by
these analogous attacks in the vicinity
of the capital, The bandits are EN-
ploying most impudent tactics The
police today received a sheet of paper
on which were stamped what purport-
ed to be copies of their finger prints.
! These were naturally fictitious and It
was declared in some quarters that
the bandits soon will visit police head
quarters and shoot several of the Off
Gals.
