PREFERRED DEATH.
HUNTED BANDIT’S LAST FIGHT. BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT. Received 10.10 a.m. to-day. LONDON, Dec. 14. Preferring death to capture, a bandit, at first believed to be Ballastro, but turning out to be Ballastro’s accomplice, Alas sari, made a desperate stand near Tonnerre, despite a previous wound in the leg. A cordon of pursuing gendarmes, intrepidly facing twelve successive shots from Massari, surrounded him, whereupon he committed suicide.
