POLES IN PARIS
CRIMINAL GANG UNEARTHED
CHARGED WITH 14 MURDERS AND 107 BURGLARIES By Tclecrraph—Per Press Aasn.—Copyright Received July 22, 8.5 p.m. PARIS, July 22. The police announce that sixty members of the most dangerous gang oi criminals which ever infested France arc 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. They arc now charged individually, or collectively, with fourteen murders, and 107 burglaries. There was the case of a man pieces of whose body were found distributed in packages in the Willette district of Paris. The head alone was not discovered. One of the bandits accused a compatriot butcher, named Felus, of the murder. Felus did not confess 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 are, also cases of a little girl murdered and cut, to pieces; a farm [woman stabbed to death when giving [alarm of h, raid on her farm; and another woman shot in the presence of three children during a burglary. These arc only a few of crimes, hitherto mysteries, with which the Poles will be charged.
