Tottenham and its neighbourhood was the scene of a series
of extraordinary outrages on Saturday morning last. Two Russian immigrants, named Hefeldt and Jacob, armed with powerful revolvers, waylaid a clerk who was bringing the weekly wages, about £80, to a rubber factory in Chestnut Road, and dashed away with the bag, firing indiscriminately on their pursuers and every one within range, as they made their way down side-streets on to the marshes. The murderers --for by this time they had killed a policeman and a little boy—hotly pursued by the police and the public, emerged on the main Ohingford Road, where they successively held up an electric tramcar, firing at and wounding the passengers, a milk-van, and another horse and cart. Taking again to the fields in the direction of Hale End, they were cornered by their pursuers after a chase of some miles, and Hefeldt shot himself ; but Jacob made his way to a cottage at Hale End, and after a desperate resistance, ii which he was wounded by a policeman, killed himself with a shot in the head. Hefeldt, though dangerously wounded, is still alive. Three constables were also hit by bullets, and fourteen other persons were wounded, several seriously.
