A quiet wedding before Justice May

end set of complications that have

months. and which incidently put
Richard Cohen, Court interpurrtor to
the expense of more than $15.
LuciO MunoZ, pretty Is year old
Mexican was the cause Of the trouble
and one Eusebio. 81, was the man in
the case.
Lucio has been living with her
father. Mascmiano Munzo. and desir-
ed to marry Murguio. Her father OBJ
iected and the girl moved to the
home of her uncle, Reyes. Her father
disliked the state of affairs and at the
home of her uncle beat the girl, it is
said.
A warrant was sworn out for his ar
rest and at the trial it was developed
that the father had been contributing
to the deliouencv of the child since the
death of her mother some months pre-
vious. This was substantiated by the
uncle and other members of the fam
lily. The case was dropped however
and the man fined $50 for assault and
battery. He disappeared soon after
and has not been heard of since.
Not wishing to live at the home of
her uncle, the girl ran away with Muir
guia on September 3. and has lived
with him since that, time. no marriage
ceremony having been performed.
The attention Of the district attor-
ney's Office was again called to the case
when the couple appeared before the
County Clerk Wednesday to- secure a
license to marry. They were detained
and taken before District Attorney
Simon.
In order to straighten affairs out
Richard Cohen was sent to Brawley
in search Of the father and gain his
consent. On tho trip he encountered

TRUNK VICTIM
QUIETLY BURIED
MYSTERYDEEPENS
Officers in Charge of Case Find
Paper Dn Which the Words
"Verde Store" are Written:
LeaUe to Investigate NelD
Clue.

Sr. Rafeal Silver, III charge of the
investigation announced that he had
solved the mystery late this after
noon but said the solution would not
be made public until tomorrow. At
the same time officers of Camp
Beacon took hand attempting to
account for all the deserters and
missing soldiers of the past few
months.
Although one definite clew has been
found which may lead to the unravel-
ling of the trunk murder mystery
which has baffled all Imperial Valley
officers, it appears that the case will
forever remain a mystery.
Whether the trunk was brought to
the SPOT where it was hidden from the
Mexican or American side of the line
remains mystery; the identity of the
fair1haired American man. the victim
in the fiendish crime. is unsolved. The
exact time of the crime remains a
secret; these and other questions are
mystifying the officers, who are seek
ing to solve the case on the slender
clues which have been found.
Yesterday afternoon the victim was
buried in the MeXicali cemetery.
The one clue which has been found
has been the words 'Verde Store
which have been made out on some of
the water soaked papers found on the
BODY.
The Verde store is near Bonds corn
ers and officers left today for there
to see what they can find.

WALL STREET DEATH TOLL sc
Bishop Denounces
fNakedness' OF
Women's Dress

SAN JUAN. Sept. 17.-Present
STYLES of dress and the newer dances
are severely criticized as immOdest
and degrading by the ri. Rev. Will
liam A. Jones. Bishop of the Roman
Catholic DiOeese of Porto Rico, who
has issued warning to both priests
and Pensioners against their de-
mCraliZing influences.
Certain of the modern dances are
"mockerv to shame and in reality
are nothing more than bait to
sensuality," in the opinion of the
Bishop. while the style of the day
in wCmen's dresses. he warns, should
not be used to 'exhibit nakedness.'
Priests are advised that they may
net organize dances for church bene-
fits, according to instruction
the Pope, while they may not at
tend festivals organized by lay mem-
bers of their congregations where
dancing is indulged in.
The Bishop gives his views on
dress an dancing in an ecclesiastical
letter addressed to both priests and
members of the church in this do
cese and published in the official
church bulletin.
