AMERICAN BANDITS.
AN INHUMAN CRIME. (BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION —COPYBIQHT.) (AUSTRALIAN AKD N.Z. CABLE ASSOCIATION.) (Received November 15th, 11.5 p.m.) NEW YORK, November 14. One of the most daring and inhuman robberies in. this city of unusual crime occurred to-day. Two bandits ,i n an elevated railway station waited until two bank messengers carrying 43,600 dollars alighted from a train. The bandits opened fire without preliminary warning, killing both instantaneously, then seized the money, rushe'd down the steps and departed in a waiting automobile, racing through busy city streets at seventy miles per hour. The police frankly admit doubt of their ability, to apprehend the murderers.
