PARIS THRILLED !

PARIS, Dec. 6.-Ths exploits of the

have thrilled Paris. Her name is Hensn
riette Miffonne, alias Yevette, and she
lies today between life and death In the14
police tnfirmary as the result of a
wound received while resisting arrest.
Pretty, slim, well educated, and barely
20, it was at first thought she was only
an accomplice of q half dozen male gun-
men of the band arrested simultaneously.
That she slipped from a taxicab in
which she was seated with four COM
panions when the police attacked them at
Neuilly Saturday and sheltering behind
a tree tried to open fire on the inspec-
tors with an automatic, was attributed to
her affection for a male criminal named
Degory, who is thought TO be the leader
Of the gang which recently committed a
number Of hold-uDs and robberies ia
Paris and suburbs,
Her pistol Jammed and she rushed
forward striking viciously with the butt
at a policeman graphing with one Of,
the bandits by the roadside who was
trying to draw his gun. Another in.ss
Bpector was forced to shoot her down.
