The border vidette., 1921-11-19

day morning as I came out on the street from my hotel and said he wanted to speak to me. We shook hands, We'll, Mir. Eidson, if you haven't nothing especially to do, I would like to speak to you" he said. I want you to meet my broth CT, Louis," he said.
 1T told him I wanted to get my breakfast first.
 We walked around up to a house (the house being the Val, deg home, it is said) and when we got to the door of the house, I hesitated about going in.
 My brother is in there," said Smith. Step in."
 '.Smith kinda got hold of me and pulled me in. The house was decorated. He said that some of his friends lived there.
 "Sit down." he said Let me go get my breakfast first" re- piled Edison. He got hold of me as if to sit me down. I sat down.
 Smith put his hand on one of his hip pockets, and said now we don't want to have any trouble. He talked about everything. and asked about the people back home. I thought Louis was in another room.
 A Mexican came out into the room where was seated" You stay here with this man," said Smith, "and if you make a break, I'll not be responsible for what happens"
 Smith then went away. Be- fore leaving he gave the Mex ican big gun. tke Mexican hold ing his hand on the gun all the time.
 In about an hour Smith gre turned and took me in car to Nogales, Sonora, to the house where I was found this after noon.
 Later they brought Jack in. and we were kept there guarded by two Mexicans.
 Last night Jack had spell of sickness and we thought he was dying. He said if he had to die he didn't want to die over there. He was taken away from there last night by Smith"
 After making his statement to the police, Eidson was hurried to the county court house where he was placed on the witness stand, reiterating the yarn that he had made a few moments pre- vious to the police.
 All during the time that .Eidson was telling his story, Smith showed no visible outward signs of being affected except for the claspipg and unclasping of his hands about his knees. f Chief of Police Lowe followed Eidson on the witness stand and related the story of the locating of EidSon in the Fronterizo hotel in Nogales. Sonora. The manner in which Jack was taken by Smith to Sonora, differed slightly, from the kid mapping of Eidson. according to the story of Jacks, told last night.
 Jack stated that Smith came to his hotel about 8:3O o'clock Tuesday morning and told him that Eidson was waiting for him at the home of Mrs. Dickens, the niece of Eidson, who had pre- pared a breakfast which was to be shared by Jacks, Eidson, Louis Smith and Will Smith.
 Jacks stepped into a roadster driven by Smith, and was taken to what has since been ascertain ed, the home of Beatrice Valdez in Terrace avenue. Here Mex ican stepped into the car, stuck a gun in acks' ribs and kept ii there until Smith drove the car into Mexico where Jacks joined EidSon in the room where they were held in the Fronterizo hotel On Wednesday night, Smith visited the men imprisoned and consented to bring Jacks back | to the United States because ot the latter's illness. Jacks was i taken by Smith, to the room o1 the latter in the Valdez residence in Terrace avenue. where the police located him yesterday l OnrnjnD
