When gendarmes began searching the Paris-bound train, Antoine Diez, carrying a satchel containing $14,000, hid outside one of the cars by holding on to two hand rails. Nearly 300 miles later, just outside Paris, the exhausted Diez threw the satchel into a field, jumped off the train, and walked into the city.
