MURDEROUS ROBBERS
MARSEILLES SENSATION BANK MESSENGERS SHOT {Australian and N.Z. Press Association) PARIS, Thursday. Five masked bandits to-day drove in a taxi to the entrance of the AlgiersTunis Bank, opposite the Stock Exchange, Marseilles, amid hundreds of people and held up three messengers who were about to take a sum of money to a large factory on the outskirts of the city. The messengers resisted, whereupon the bandits fired from revolvers at them. They then tore the money pouches from the messengers, reentered the taxi, and drove off at a furious pace. At first the onlookers thought the affair was a moving picture scene. However they found that one of the messengers, Loudier, aged 66, was dead, and that the others were seriously wounded. The bandits secured £3,000. Subsequently three of them were captured near Avignon.
