ROUND-UP OF CRIMINALS.

SIXTY UNDER ARREST. FRENCH POLICE BUSY. 8Y CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION —COPYRIGHT PARIS, July 22. The police announce that sixty members of the most dangerous gang of criminals which has ever infested France are now under arrest. For a month there have been, frequent arrests of Poles charged with minor offences. It appears that they formed a powerful organisation, andi they are now charged individually or collectively with fourteen murders and a hundred and seven burglaries. There -was the case of a man whose body in pieces was found distributed in packages in the Villette district of Paris, the head alone not being discovered. One of the bandits accused a compatriot butcher named Felus of the murder. Felus did not confess to this crime, but confessed that he murdered a Russian engineer named Dutfoy, who was found) stabbed to death in a train between Paris and Versailles. There were also eases of a little girl murdered and cut to pieces; a farm woman stabbed to death when giving an alarm of a raid on a farm; and a woman shot in the presence of her three children during a burglary. These are only a few of the crimes, hitherto mysteries, with which the Poles will be charged.
