MOTOR BANDITS’ TRIAL
REPRISALS FEARED BY POLICE. (Sydney “Sun” Cable.) LONDON, February 11. The Paris police are fearing reprisals on the part of the friends of the motor bandits now being tried. 1 The judge who is presiding at the trial has received dozens of threatening letters. His private house, which is No. 13 in the street in which he lives, is being closely watched by gendarmes, whose presence is not without some inconvenience to' other tenants of th*. same establishment. One, for instance, who was late in getting home for lunch, entered the house in a great hurry. He was instantly pursued and collared by two gendarmes, who turned out his pockets and searched his person generally for the bombs or other deadly things that were not there. It was long before the ' gendarmes could bo convinced that their prisonej was not some would-be assassin, and next day the judge, by way of soothing the ruffled feelings of his neighbour provided the latter with a special seat on the bench.
