Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from File No; 113 In the Paris journals of February 28, 186 , - there appeared the following intelligence: - "A daring robbery, committed during the night at one of our principal bankers´, M. Andre Fauvel, has created great excitement this morning in the neighborhood of the Rue de Provence. The thieves, who were as skilful as they were daring, succeeded in effecting an entrance to the bank, in forcing the lock of a safe that has heretofore been considered impregnable, and in possessing themselves of bank-notes, of the value of three hundred and fifty thousand francs. The police, immediately informed of the robbery, displayed their accustomed zeal, and their efforts have been crowned with success. Already, it is said, P. B., a clerk in the bank, has been arrested, and there is every reason to hope that his accomplices will be speedily overtaken by the hand of justice." For four days this robbery was the talk of Paris. Then public attention was engrossed by later and equally interesting events; an acrobat broke his leg at the circus; an actress made her début at a minor theatre; and news of the 28th was soon forgotten. But for once the newspapers were - perhaps designedly - wrong, or at least inaccurate in their information. The sum of three hundred and fifty thousand francs had certainly been stolen from M. Andre Fauvel´s bank, but not in the manner described. A clerk had also been arrested on suspicion, but no conclusive proof had been forthcoming against him. This robbery of unusual importance remained, if not inexplicable, at least unexplained. The following are the facts of the case as related with scrupulous exactitude in the official police report.
