MASKED BANDITS
SHOOT AND ROB BANK MESSENGERS (Australian Press Association.) (Rec. November 22, 7.25 p.m.) Marseilles, November 22. Five masked bandits drove up iu a taxi-cab to the entrance of the Elgerotuni Sienne Bank, opposite the Stock Exchange, amid hundreds of people, and held up three messengers taking money to a large factory on the outskirts of the town. The messengers resisting, the bandits fired from pistols and tore the pouches from the messengers’ bodies. They then re-entered the taxi and drove off at a furious rate. The crowd at first thought it was a movies stunt, but found that a messenger, Loudier, 66 years of age, was dead, and others seriously injured. The bandits secured £3OOO.
