GIRL
CONFESSES THEFT
lMPLIcATES FAMILY IN SHOP
LIFTING
Thousands Of Dollars Worth Of Ex.
pensive silks and Other Goods
Found In Rooms Occupied
by Mexleans

A partial confession Of guilt in con-
nection with the alleged shop-lifting
operations of the Sanchez family in
Los Angeles is said to have been made
by Merced, the 16-year-old daughter
ard one of the four members OF the
family arrested i'm the Hoffman house
on North Main street Friday after
noon from whom $4,000 worth OF silks
and finery were recovered.
Although the detectives expected
some member Of the family would
break down and make a full confession
they were well nigh unable to over
come their reserve, as for more than
nine hours they sat in the headquarters
refusing to answer questions. At last
I. was decided to take Merced, the
youngest of the girls, and endeavor to
make her talk. She was taken alone
to the detectives office and was there
by the police to have confessed that
certain things were stolen in this city,
hut refused to say that the family had
conducted operations in any other
place.
1t ip claimed by the police that the
two girls are not the daughters of
Sanchez, although they go by his name,
but are the daughters of his wife by
q former marriage.
Family Is Unconcerned
The entire family take their arrest
with the greatest unconcern and refuse
to discuss it with any person. They
are said to have a large sum of money
and to have offered to give bail in any
sum for their liberty, but the police
have refused to accept it.
All yesterday managers from the
leading department stores visited the
police headquarters and identified
goods stolen from their establishments
until at o'clock nearly all of it had
b1on claimed. Some jewelry, consist
ing of rings, watches and chains, were
found among their possessions and II
is thought they also were stolen, but
the owners have not yet been found.
The family is said to have completed
arrangements for it's return to Mex
ico and would probably have been
away fl ON Los Angeles by today had
the members rot been captured. The
police say it was probably their inten-
tions to smuggle the goods into Mex
icO where it would be disposed of by
s, me members of gang of which they
are thought to be members.
According to the police, Merced is
the most dangerous member of the
gang. She is an attractive girl with
great dark eyes and a winning smile
1t is claimed that while the father,
IHOIHer ana eluer daughter would eX-
anime goods this girl would cast lam
gushing glances at the clerk and dis
tract his attention while the others
would slip the articles they wished
under their coats.
Reports that four persons answerin,
| the descriptions of the Sanchez fam
lily conducted operations in Denver an,
Salt Lake have been received and tn,
police are awaiting word from otheI
| eastern cities where it is thought they
also worked.

Mr.. Charles s. Many, 12 Water st.,
Ossining, N. Y, writes:
IT had catarrh for ten years and tried
a great many kinds of medicines which
cost me a lot of money, but did me no
good. Instead of getting better seemed

It will be noticed that the governor
says he has not had occasion TO use
Peruna for other ailments. The reason
for this is, most other ailments begin
with cold. Using Peruna to promptly
relieve colds, he protects his family
against other ailments.
This is what every other family in
the United States should do. Keep Pc
