SILK STOCKINGS ON
 WOMAN LAND 5 IN
 JAIL AS BURGLARS
Mexican Trailed by Hose and Sage in Sugar; Confesses
 Series of Robberies

The shimmering sheen of a pair of silk stockings encasing a pair of neat ankles, together with sage in the sugar barrel and the sharp eye-sight of a local merchant, landed two men and a woman in jail last night. The three are charged with the robbery of Luis G. Sana's store Sunday morn ing, when S4,000 in merchandise was stolen. With the apprehension of the trio by local police. most of the stolen goods were recovered
 The story Of the recovery Of the stolen property, the loot of three rob berries. reads like one of A. Conan Doyle's best detective yarns Sherlock Holmes himself, even with the aid of the redoubtable Dr. Watson, could scarce have shown moIe ingenuity and deductiTe powers than were dis played by Sena and Marshal Kemp ton last night. Doyle would have de lighted in writing the story and titling it "A Pair of Silk Stockings" Sage in the Sugar" or"The Secret Roof" the latter hiding the stolen property.
 Displays Her Hose
 While taking his afternoon stroll on Chihuahua hill yesterday after noon, Sena was attracted by the giint of sunlight reflected from a pair of obviously new stockings, gleaming in the glare of Old Sol, and encasing a pair of ankles that-well, suffice it to say that they attracted his eye or both eyes. The wearer being a Mexican woman, Sena's deductive powers told him that something was wrong, and he abruptly cut off his walk to hasten to the city marshal's office. Here the plot thickens-
 Accompanied by F. E. Thomas. City Marshal Kempton visited the scene. The woman had disappeared h. Quiry revealed her address, and they called on her. Accused of being the pOssessor of new silk stockings, the woman, Mrs. Augustine JaramillO, de- nied the charge She offered to prove her assertion that her stockings were not new. and, coyly lifting her skirts, did so- The officers turned 10 leave
 Sage in the Sugar
 As he approached the door, Kemp ton noticed a neatly stacked pile of kindling wood in the room Such unwOnted cleanliness in the home of the type of people he was dealing with aroused his suspicious. and he proceeded to investigate The kindling was found to mask a pail of sugar. And in the sugar was traces of sage. An, here was the clew that led to the capture. Hadn't Sena informed Kempton that sage had been spilled in the stolen sugar? He had.
 Leaving Thomas at the house, KemptOn took the woman to the city jail. In the meanwhile, Thomas, play ing the role of Dr. Watson, did some Investigating on his own account, and discovered that the roof of the house was double, the space between being filled with merchandise jof various q kinds. While engaged in his investiga- tions, Thomas was surprised by the entrance of the head of the Jaramillo 1 family, Augustine. whom he promptly | arrested
 On his arrival at the jail. JaramiTIo | confessed the robbery, naming Manuel | Fernandez as his accompIice. He also admitted having robbed Tovrea's mar ket on Naco road and H. Waters store | in Brewery Gulch
 Tex Barton, H. G. Ruff and Frank ! Thomas traced Fernandez to his home ! on NacO road, where they arrested him | and discovered seceral hundred dol I lars worth of stolen property. The accused refused to admit any connec- tion with the series of robberies.
 Thus the lure of finery led to the downfall of three of our most eminent | alleged burglars, and no doubt now the l series of robberies is at an end.
