MAIL VAN HELD UP
ARMED BANDITS' BOOTY
SERIES OF CASES IN FRANCE
PARIS, February 26.
Armed bandits stopped a mail van at Aix-en-Proyence shortly after it left the Post Office, one taking the place of the driver. The van was abandoned six miles from the town and mailbags taken.1 The estimated loss is £10,000, including documents addressed to the Palais de Justice, Paris, relating to the murder '■ of Mrs. A. Garola, found strangled last year on the Strasbourg-Riviera express.
The hold-up follows a robbery involving £13.500 outside a bank at Nice recently and the theft of valuable mails at Antibes on January 7.
