ROBBERY IN SYDNEY
SHOT FIRED AT WOMAN TWO SUSPECTS ARRESTED Sydney, August 6. Two masked robbers, who secreted themselves in Michael Briggs’s butcher shop at Redfern last night, bound and gagged Briggs and covered him with a revolver. They then commenced to hunt for cash, and discovered a bottle of whisky. They had impudently consumed a large portion when a woman neighbour, hearing tlu> men’s threats to Briggs, telephoned the police, who dashed to the scene in a car and arrested the bandits, but not before a shot was fired by one at the woman who gave the alarm. To-day William Wilton and William Nelson were remanded on charges of Robbery under arms. Nelson was also charged with having fired a revolver with intent to murder.
