WANTED BANDITS.
THREE AMERICAN BROTHERS.
SOUGHT IN NEW ZEALAND.
A notice posted up in the vestibule of the main post«ixffice at Hamilton gives details o’f 15,30'0 dollars reward offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of three American train bandits. Although no official iriformation is available on t,he point, there must be some motive for displaying the notice in New Zealand, and from it the. inference would be drawn that the wanted men are suspected of being somewhere in New Zealand. On October 11, 1923, three brothers, R. A- A. de Autremont, Ray Charles de Autremont, and Hugh de Autremont, of Eugene, Oregon, are believed to have been responsible for the blowing up and robbing of the South Pacific mail train near Siskiyon, Oregon (U.S.A.). There was conclusive evidence of their guilt, but, they have never been found. The crime was added to by the shooting of a mailman and the burning of his body, together with the shooting Of three trainmen. On the notice in which the reward offered by the United States Post Office Department is set out are the photographs and descriptions of the' three' bandits. •.
