Big Ammunition Find by French Police

Thousands of Cartridges besides Pistols and Rifles Further particulars regarding the capture of arms and ammunition by the French police and in connexion with which charges are to be preferred against Dr. Max Kindler, E. Oldenburg, Dudley Warner and two Chinese, show that Warner was arrested—with two Chinese at a house in Avenue Joffre. Six automatic pistols were then found and it was ascertained from the Chinese that some more ammunition was stored at 40 Weihaiwei Road, the home of Oldenburg, a German. There the police secured 4,000 rounds of ammunition for automatic pistols similar to those captured, 300 rounds of ammunition for German army rifles, 5 Barabellum pistols and several German army rifles.

Kindler and Oldenburg are detained by the French authorities, while Warner is lodged in the Gaol. No date for the trial has been set, as the investigation is still proceeding. Kindler has been charged with securing $20,000 from a Chinese under false pretences and was out on $15,000 bail until re-arrested.
