INCOME TAX CLAIMS AGAINST DUPONT

pone de Nemours Company, manu- facturers of explosives.
The robbery was as audacious, as It was successful, for it occurred in Argyle Street, one of the math thoroughfares to Homintin, in the vicinity of the railway bridge.
In a subsequent report
to the police, Lo Lan Sang, the victim stated that three men posing as detectives stopped him at 8.20 p.m. and demanded to, search him. While one went through his poc- kets, two kept watch, and when he attempted to raise an alarm, they
re threatened to pull out their valvers.
After a hasty search, the robbers made good their escape with $20 in cash. It is not certain whether the men were armed or not, as no weapons were actually displayed.
