The police swarmed into the wreckage. No sign of life was noticeable until a form arose from the tonneau of a partly demolished automobile, and a man. subsequently sub-sequently Identified as Dubois grazed the head.s of the Invaders with four bullets A volley of shots followed and he fell dead with a piercing shriek. Two large mattresses lying on the floor, one on top of the other were seen to move slightly and the police .stood by with polntod revolvers. Suddenly throwing the top mattress Bonnot raised his gun to fire, but was shot down before he could pull the trigger He was rushed to the Hotel rje Dleu alive but died a few minutes later before he could be placed on the operating table. Two hundred detectives had been searching for the desperadoes ever since their most startling crime the robbery of the bank of the Societc Generate at Chantllly on March 2.", In which they killed two men and wounded several others oth-ers M. Sutchard, chief nf the detective service, has been in command of his best men and their work has been going on day and night. They were spurred on bv the open defiance of the bandits, whose leaders sent in to police headquarters their finger prints, accompanied by a sneering note to "come get u' " On each occasion when the police got dose to the robbers It was at the. cost of a killing or wounding. The most thrilling thril-ling Incident of this sort was on April 23, when the leaders, Bonnot and CJarnler, were cornered In a house at Petit Ivry, a suburb of Parts. Assistant Pollt e Superintendent Super-intendent Jouin and Chief Inspector Col-mar Col-mar went In after them. A hand to hand battle followed. In which the desperadoes killed Jouin and severely wounded Col-ma Col-ma r. After that 8 spirit of vengeance gave added force to the work of the police. They vowed they would avenge their comrades com-rades and they did Statement of Bonnot On Bonnot wis found a f-iatement consisting con-sisting for tho most part of an anarchistic anarchis-tic confession of faith and concluding with the words, believed to have been feverishly scribbled at the ia6t moment. "I die. Jules Bonnot"' j He wa-s armed with four revolvers and a carbine. It Is estimated that 200,ono persons visited vis-ited the scene during the day. They saw only the ruins of the garage. The medical examination showed that Bonnot's loft arm had been shattered by a bullet. It was an old wound, however, and he undoubtedly shot himself accldentaly when he murdered Jouin. This explains why his arm wa.s in a sling Gamier, Bonnot's CO-chief, Is tlll at large but the police say they arc on his track, atuj e.-I e.-I per t to capture him I The Paris newspapers ive prominence to the fart that the garitge retreat of. the bandits from which thev c-ondiictod' the series of automobile crimes was owned b. Alfred Frotnentln. known as "the millionaire anarchist." Fromentln eras a friend of Francisco Ferrer founder r.f I he modern school in Spain, whom he frequently visited at Barcelona. In 1 ror after the execution of Ferrer, he published a pamphlet entitled, 'The Truth on the Work of Ferr r " Fromentln founded at Cholsy-le-Rot a number of small villas, which he called "The Red Nest." They were occupied almost al-most exclusively hy persons of anarchlsth belief. Fromentln's friends Insist that he s the enemy of violence and that If his property prop-erty was the headquarters of the bandits ' It must have been without his knowledge. knowl-edge. Bonnot was about 30 vears old He formerly ser'-ed In the engineers corps of the army. He was an expert chauffeur the real brains of the band and always was at th- steering wheel of the nir when the bandits were operating.
