father was wine merchant there.
Having more fancy for an out of door
life than counting room, persuaded
him to give me a position in his bust

grape growing districts and bought
wine at the vineyards,
One day l was travelling on horse
back over the southern slope of the
mountains when l heard a voice:

head was that l was stopped by a
brigand. and | was right.
Il must trouble you. senior, to clasp
your hands on the top of your head"
A brigand jumped over a wall
and. holding gun in the hollow OF
his arm, came toward me. He wore
the costume of the country. which is
picturesque, and had devil may
care way with him. He asked me to
hand him weapon carried at my
hip. keeping me covered meanwhile
and his eye fixed on mine. that he
might detect in time any indica-
ton of purpose to use It, AS soon
as he had possession Of 1t he told me
to proceed. conducting me to a camp
where a dozen men were lounging.
From papers on my person the brig
ands discovered that l was the son of
a rich wine merchant in Madrid and
resolved TO demand large ransom for
my return. The man who captured me
went out in search of some one to
carry the message to my father and

that it might ruin him financially. But
was very much deceived by the girl.
The day after her departure. at /
O'Clock in the morning. the only senti- |
mel of the camp was stabbed in the !
back and every sleeping brigand
jumped upon by soldier and pinioned !
before he could use a weapon. The 4
band had long been the terror of that
region. and the girl had resolved to
risk the sacrifice of herself and her
family to rid the country of them. She,
knew every foot Of ground about their /
camp and had guided the soldiers. en-
abling them TO surprise the brigands. |

IN THE DYNAMITE TRIAL
Prosecutor Is Informed That

Secretly Unidentified
fRr Associated Press.O

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, Nov. All
Suggestions that Orrie E. McManigal,
in boldly blowing up jobs about the
country, was actually in the employ OF
the detectives who followed him. were
set up by the defense at the dynamite
conspiracy" trial today.
Senator Kern, for the defense. fatty
asked McManigal whether he, while
dynamiting, was not in the employ OF
the National Erectors' association, an or
ganizatioH whose open shop" policy
was being opposed by the iron workers
union.
MECHANICAL denied he was employed
by anyone other than J. ] McNama-
ra, or that he acted as a spy" in the
ranks of the dynamiters.
Isn't il fact that just before your
arrest you were indifferent whether
you were arrested or not?" asked Sen
ator Kern.
II was indifferent. 1 expected to be
arrested at anytime. I changed my at
titude after the people were killed in
the Los Angeles Times explosion"
Had you been in communication with
persons interested in your arrest?"
II had not. Officials of the union
had double-crossed me. ]. B. McNa-
mara had tried to kill me and L knew
after the Times explosion we would be
caught. 1 told j. j. Mcnamara
puessed I'd get job from the National
Erectors' association. He replied.
You do that and see how long you'll
last"
District Attorney Miller served no
tice on twelve of the defendants this
afternoon that he was advised their
bonds had been Unidentified; that II
this was true he would ask the court
to set aside the present bonds and
ask for new ones.
Attorneys for the defendants said
If new bonds were required today they
would be unable to procure them ano
the defendants would have to be ia
ken in custody.
Among those so affected are Frank
M. Ryan. president of the Iron Work
ers' union, and John t. Butler, vice
$4,000 bond.
Federal Judge Anderson said he
would sustain the district attorney II
it were shown the bonds were indem-
nified.
IF the bondsmen have been given
security for the bonds, the bondsmen
then have no interest whether the de-
PENDANTS appear or net, and, in fact,
then the bondsmen might snap their
fingers at the court"
