“Not long after eight o' clock, the gang's luxury limousine was parked in rue Ordener. "We were fearflully armed", recalled Ganier, "I had no less than six revolvers on me, of which one was butt-mounted witha range of eight hundred meters; my companions each had three, and we had about four hundred rounds in our pockets; we were quite determined to defend ourselves to the death".”

“They shot their way out, leaving three police men dead and two wounded, but in the confusion accidentally shot their own leader.[...] Rather than surrender, the two mend did battle with seven hundred police and dozens of soldiers, dying only when the house caught fire and burnt to the ground.”

“Lacombe: "I would have liked to eat black bread with black hands, but I was forced to eat white bread with red hands...Fate bears the responsibility of all this. It was the sole set of circumstances which arose, and with which I was faced that made me kill people of my own class, exploited like me, but ignorant and too zealous in defending the interests of their masters. I consider them as guilty as myself. I regret having killed workers, but aren't they made to kill each other patriotically on the battlefield or during strikes?".”
