SENSATIONAL ROBBERY.
Paris, February 1
Three burglars armed with Browning pistols were surprised robbing the goods depot at Orleans station. They fired at the railwaymen, who attempted their captuie, and jumped on a tram just leaving for Paris.
The gendarmes at Angerville were advised by telegraph and attempted to arrest the miscreants. The robbers killed one gendarme and wounded another and then fled, except one who remained on the train, and, when it arrived, blew out his brains in the telegraph office, where he was locked.
The inhabitants at Angeryille chased the others and attempted to lynch them for the gendarme’s murder.
One was caught and has been identified as Joseph Rennard, associated with those alleged to have been concerned in the outrage at Montmartre last month, when a bank messenger was shot and robbed.
The gendarmes pursued the other to Stampes, where he suicided, crying “ Hurrah.”
