SEARCH FOR BANDIT.
DESPERATE BATTLE ENSUES. SUICIDE OF DESPERADO. A. and N.Z. LONDON. Nov. 14. Preferring death to capture, a bandit, at first believed to be Ballastro, for whom the police have been searching in Italy, but turning out to be Ballastro's accomplice, Massari, made a desperate stand iD spite of a previous wound in the leg. A cordon of pursuing gendarmes, intrepidly facing 12 successive shots from Massari, surrounded him, whereupon he committed suicide.
