Last night city policeman Jesus
Trevino saw Vicente Hernandez
trying to dispose of an upholstered
chair of extra nice quality. and
suspicioned that all was not right.
He notified the Marshall and in
company with Constable Justo
Herrera went to investigate. Her
dandez was arrested and confessed
that the furniture had been taken
from the old Castaing house near
the fish market, and implicated
two other men. The officers went
to work and located whole lot of
furniture consisting of upholstered
chairs, settees, center table, part
of dining table, lamps, ETC., some
of it being the property of VIII
Linton, r B. Rentfro and some 10
Frank Rabb. The house was locked
and the owners of the furniture
supposed it was intact but when the
house was opened, it was found
to be almost empty According
to Hernandez story, two other men
are implicated, one entering the
house and handing the stuff out to
a confederate, who turned 1t over
to Hernandez for sale. All the fur
niture has not yet been recovered
and officers are out today trying to
locate the articles that are still
missing.
