AN ALGERIAN TRAGEDY.
A terrible drama has just been enacted at Bedeau, in the Algerian province of Oran. A Moorish Jew named Ben Soussan, against whom information had bsen laid by a neighbour for cruelty to his family, attacked this man on the roadway and stabbed him to death.
A constable who sought to interfere had his body completely cut open, and a second policeman who went to the assistance of his comrade, was stabbed to the heart.
Two other'men, one of them the murderer's brother-in-law, were also fatally 3tabbed, and then the desperado stalked off to his own house, where he barricaded himself, and a detachment of the Foreign Legion had to be requisitioned before he would surrender.
