GLOVES OF BOXERS
LEADS TO ARRESTS 4
BY JOHN o'BRIEN

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
PARIS, July 17-when Inspector
Balaguerie, OF the Paris central office
squad, who was watching boxing
bout in the cellar of a Montmarte
saloon the other night, noticed the
kind of gloves the fighters were using
he put two and two together rapidly
and before the night was over two
much-sought-for burglars and fence
were behind the bars.
Balaguerie, who won the Legion OF
Honor ribbon on the battlefield, is an
inveterate habitue of the ring. He
was invited to match between
Charles Monin and Paul Ffrminieux,
walters by profession, boxers in the
making perhaps and, as it turned out,
devoting their leisure moments to
other more lucrative but less legiti-
mate occupations.
Monin went to the mat and took the
count in the third round. He was In
pretty bad shape and Balaguerie went
into the ring to see is he might not
be of service. Getting close to the
fighter, he observed that the gloves on
his hands were the rubber kind used
by burglars to prevent finger prints
being left on the furniture.
Judicious questioning of Monin and
Firminieux led to confessions that
they were the authors of dozens of
mysterious robberies Of saloons, cigar
| stores, jewelry stores and so on, be-
sides having used chloroform In taxi
| cab robberies in the Bots de Boulogne.
They gave the address of the man
who purchased the product of their
crimes and he, Jean Vibert, joined
them in the depot early the following
morning.
