UNITE FORCES
IN HUNT FOR
ATTACKERS
City and County Officers
Combined in Black
Terror Search.

City and county officers have pooled
their resources in hunting down all
possible trails that might lead to the
capture of the black terrors who at
tackled pretty young San Antonio
widow after robbing her escort. John
Fox. 1900 Rogers street, Sunday
night.
At the point of pistols the couple
was held IN near the end of Burnett
street, just before midnight. After
stripping Fox and the woman OK their
money and valuablcs. the woman was
dragged into the bushes by her hair
and maltreated by both highwaymen.
Despite masks and long raincoats
worn by the bandits. both Fox and
the woman declare it was easily dis
cernable that they were negroes.
Working on this information, two
negroes were jailed Tuesday and grill
cd. One was arrested by detectives on
minor theft charge and another BY
Chief Deputy Alfonso Newton, whose
memory classed the negro rs a Grim
inal. He was arrested when he called
at the sheriff's office for a pass to
see a negro in the county Jail with a
death sentence. He was a fugitive
from justice. officers declared.
Steady grilling of the two men still
under arrest gave officers other lines
to work on though no positive I'M
portant information was gained.
Chief T. o. Miller, Chief of Detec-
tives Sam Street, Sheriff Stevens and
Constable Duke Carver declared that
no effort would be spared in attempt
ing TO run down the black bandits fol-
lowing a conference late Tuesday.
