PHANTOM BANDITS o
Paris, Feb. 3.-The trial of the
phantom bandits began at noon
today Scores of fashionably
dressed women thfonged the Pal
ace of Justice, hundreds were
turned away; the bourgeoisie
crowded the streets around the
building; all Paris wanted to see
the notorious prisoners.
The men on trial are the re-
naming members of the Bonnet
gang, Carouy, Diedonne; Medge,
Soudy and seventeen lesser lights
of the underworld, who last year
held Paris in terror.
The Bonnet band was the Ted
dy Webb gang of France. They
used highpower cars and made
quick escapes. That is why the
Partisan gendamerie called them
the phantom bandits.
Their most startling crime was
the robbery of Chantilly bank,
in a Partisan suburb.
Members Of the gang waited
on a lonely road. a new and
powerful car came along. The
bandits shot and killed the chauf-
feur; desperately wounded the
passenger.
Taking the car, they drove att
top speed to the bank, fifty miles
away. There they shot and kill
ed two tellers, and escaped with
100000 amid the rattle of their
Winchesters as they fired at pur-
suerS.

Bonnet.

Bonnet.
Shortly after this the Bonnet
gang murdered M. Gaby bank
messenger, on crowded street
at noon.
Picked gunner waited for the
messenger at a place they knew
he passed each day with a bag of
money. When Gaby appeared,
one bandit grabbed the satchel;
another sent a bullet crashing
into Gaby's heart.
The murderers jumped on the
running board of a powerful car
that was waiting for them. The
car started. The bandits escaped,
firing at the police and citizens
who pursued.
There were other robBeries,
other murders. Then Bonnet
and Dubois, a confederateySwere
surrounded in a house at Choisy
lie Roi. There was a desperate
battle. The military were called.
1t was a regular siege.
Finally one whole side of the
house was blown in by dynamite.
Bonnet and Dubois were found
dead.
GARNER, who had been Bonnot's
lieutenant, and member of the
gang named Valet, were sur
rounded soon after in a house at
Nogent-sur-Marne. GARNER and
Valet died at Bonnet and Dubois
died.
With their leaders dead, the
rest of the gang soon were cap
tured. Most of them are just

Every place seemed to be taken, and
men and women, standing up, lined the

had been reserved for us and led us
to two on the side aisle near the front
and quite under the shadow Of the bal

were facing was a platform, rallied off.
