WESTERN MAIL THURSDAY DECEMBER 9. 1926.  No. 312. THE BARRY BANDIT AGAIN.- Menacing Demand For Money.   A further story of the activities of a man who has become known as "Barry's terrorist" was forthcoming on Wednesday, when Mr. Haydn WILLIAMS, a fitter's apprentice employed by the Great Western Railway Company at the locomotive sheds at Barry, described a somewhat unnerving  experience.   Just as WILLIAMS was crossing Gladstone-road, Barry Dock, towards his home, Sunnybank, Buttrills-road, about ten o'clock a man approached him in the darkness and, in a gruff and menacing voice, demanded "a gasper." When WILLIAMS said he had no cigarettes the man walked alongside and demanded  money in a threatening manner.    " I realised my danger." said WILLIAMS " and tried to keep waylayer at a safe distance. When within a few yards from my home I dodged the man and rushed past him through the open gate, slamming it in his face as he ran after me. I caught no glimpse of a weapon, but I have no doubt that he had a few more minutes elapsed he would have probably used force."   Mr. WILLIAMS states that his sister also underwent a similar experience recently when a man demanded money from her in a secluded part of town.    Mr. WILLIAMS describes the man as tall somewhat rough-looking, and clean-shaven. His features were concealed by a heavy muffler. RECENT WILLS. MR. W. H.
