Bad Assault Case In

Tahiti

Papeete, Sept. 12.

A FRENCHWOMAN, cycling to Papette on Sunday evening, September 7, after visiting friends at Punaauia, was attacked by five hoodlums, who violated her and stole her purse, contain ing some 8,000 francs. A car which came along caused the hoodlums to run away.

She was picked up and taken to Papeete, almost unconscious. The police have been out on the search, and the arrest of the criminal gang is expected soon.

Tohiti has been remarkably free of that kind of crime, and we all hope for an early arrest aand stern justice.
