Tlio messengers resisted, whereupon the bandits fired from revolvers at them. They then tore the money pouches from the messengers, re entered the taxi, and drove off at a furious pace. At first tlio onlookers thought the affair was a moving picture scene. However they found that one of the messengers, Loudijjr, aged 66, was dead and that the others were seriously wounded.
