TAXI-DRIVERS MURDERED
SERIES IN PARIS TWO YOUTHS ARRESTED (By Cable—Press Assn. —Copyright.) PARIS, February 13. Taxi-driving is becoming one of the most perilous occupations in Paris. Another driver was murdered and robbed to-day. Two youths, aged twenty and seventeen respectively, hailed a taxi at the Gare du Nord, and asked to be driven to Creil. When outside the city, one of them opened the window and shot the driver in the temple, and he fell on the wheel dead. The car then ran into a hedge, where the assassins robbed the driver of 30/- and made off, leaving the taxi and the corpse on the roadside. The police traced the assailants in a few hours. When the, pair were brought to the police 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 last few months.
