Another was murdered and robbed to-day. Two youths aged 20 and 17 respectively, hailed a taxi at Gare du Nord, and asked to be driven to Creil. When outside the. city one opened a window and shot the driver in the temple, and he fell on the wheel dead. The car ran Into - a hedge, where the assassins robbed him of thirty shillings, and made off, leaving the taxi and the corpse on the roadside. The police traced the assailants within a few hours. When they were brought to, the polico station, crowds of taxi-men made an attempt to secure the murderers, but the police protected them.
There have been many almost identical attacks in the past few months.
