Final Chapter Of Gangs Story
Written Today at Whittier

ter he slashed q razor across his
throat is believed to have netted
another member of the band.
Jesus Navarrte, arrested with his
wife here last week, was also q
member of the gang, according to
Constable BobsWay. A quantity Of
ioot stolen from local residences was
found in Navarrte s house.
Go To San Quentin
The "Schmidt gang" robbed q
department store here six years ago.
Fleeing from the scene, one man
uashed his automobile into q train
and was captured. Another was
later arrested, and the two were
sent to San Quentin for Is years.
The rest of the band, including
Ballestero, Navarrte and the other
man under arrest, continued their
criminal operations, only to have
their careers halted suddenly by the
turn of recent events.
Deputy Constable Charles G.
Flood is credited with securing the
evidence upon which the arrests
were based. Flood, in another pecu-
liar angle of recent events, is at
liberty, following his arrest yester-
day in connection with the fatal
shooting of Rudolf Colima, brother
of Bert .Colima, fighter, who died
from gunshot wounds inflicted by
the officer during a dance hall
brawl here last week.
