On Wednesday Carony, one of the so-called motor bandits who

have spread alarm throughout France, was arrested at Lozere, near Paris. A few days previously a man called Bondy, also believed to be one of the bandits, was arrested in the north of France. The crime in connexion with which these arrests were made was committed on Monday week. Four men held up a motor-car between Paris and Fontainebleau, shot the chauffeur dead, drove the car to Chantilly, and looted a bank, killing two of the clerks and firing indiscriminately in the street with repeating rifles. They then drove away, abandoned the ear at Asnieres, boarded a train, and dis- appeared. It is believed that the same gang committed the notorious Rue Ordener crime as well as others.
