After attempting to kill a woman who scorned his attentions, Mohammed
Ben Asmen, a Moroccan sheik, fled to the Argenteuil Forest near Paris
and there defied the efforts of the police to capture him. When the
sheik first saw the beautiful Mme. Sophie Bolle he was smitten, and he
followed her to her home and demanded that she leave her husband and flee
with him. She ordered him away, whereon he attempted to kill her. He
was frightened away, but returned and again tried to slay her. Then the
police were called, but he eluded them in the forest.
