Gently stated Mrs. H. A. Sharpe,

panion were murdered, is the opinion o.
Deputy Subira. One man confined al
pearsall and the other at Cotulla, the
deputy said, confessed to virtually the
same facts. When tn" third man was
brought from an East Texas town and
taken before them, Deputy Subira said
both recognized him at once and ac.
claimed him as one of the participants
in the crime.
According to the Bexar county deputy
a thorough search was made by LaSallC
county officers and bout fifty men Fri
day. This included the draggin~ of the
river for about seven miles below the
SPOT where the men said they had
thrown the bodies into the stream. Some
Of the water was shallow but other
holes were deep. which made the search
Il difficult undertaking.
Put 100 Men on Hunt.
With 100 additional men, however,
LaSalle county officers rumOred the
search Monday. According to ihc
opinion expressed by one of the men in
custody. Subira said, the bodies could
not have gone far because of the heavy
log tied to them. 1t is expected that
they will be found at some point be-
tween this spot and a dam near Fowler
ton. some fifteen miles distant. Dyna-
mite is TO be used in an effort to bring
the bodies to the surface. In view OF
the fact that they were securely tied by
the rope and canvas, however, it is
feared that they may remain at the
bottom and only thorough dragging OF
the river can bring them up.
LaSalle county officers. Deputy Su-
bira said, have declared their intention
of continuing their search until they
have discovered the bodies. Even if the
men cannot be convicted OF murder, he
said. because of the failure to find the
bodies. officers expect to hold the men
on charges of forgery in connection with
the cashing of a check belonging to
Jorge, and at least one man on an as
sault to murder charge in connection
with an attack upon an aged Next
