SYDNEY BANDITS
CROWD AFRAID TO ACT.
[BY CABLE —PRESS ASSN. —COPYRIGHT.] (Recd. October 2, 8 a.m.) SYDNEY, October 1. Two armed men held up an employee at a taxi-cab depot at Darlinghurst, to-day, and stole £6. A second hold-up, to-night, occurred at Darlinghurst. Three young men entered a cake shop, and demanded £5OO from Alexander Shearer, whose wife in the next room overhearing the argument, slipped out at the back, with the intention of giving an alarm. She reached the front of the shop just in time to see one man leaving. She seized him and her husband rushed to her aid, and closed with the second man. Three shots were fired, but nobody was hurt.
