REDFERN ROBBERY.
ACCUSED BEFORE THE COURT. (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) (Received August 6, 5.5 p.m.) SYDNEY, August 6. William Wilton and William Nelson were remanded on charges of robbery under arms in connection with the Redfern robbery last night. Nelson was also charged with having fired a revolver with intent to murder.
[A message received yesterday stated that two masked robbers, who secreted themselves in Michael Briggs’ butcher shop in Redfern, bound and gagged Briggs. covered him with a revolver, and commenced to hunt for cash. They discovered a bottle of whisky and impudently consumed a large portion, when a woman neighbour, hearing the men’s threats to Briggs, telephoned to the police, who dashed to the scene in a car, arrested the bandits, but not before a shot was fired by one at the woman, who gave the alarm.]
