Now two men are in Bexar county
Jail facing charges of impersonating q

Charles Stevens, inspector in charge
of mounted customs officers in this
district, is the man responsible for so
rudely SCATTERING their dreams.
The alleged victim innocently
brought about their arrest.
ARRESTS RUM RUNNER.
For some time Captain Stevens had
heard rumblings of giant hi-jacking
scheme. He secured the aid of the
Department of Justice operatives in
conducting his investigation.
Then he arrested a man suspected
of violating the liquor laws. The
man. Captain Stevens said. admitted
being a rum-runner, but told a story
of how he had been robbed of $50
bottles of tequila by men posing as
federal officers.
He was en- route to San Antonio,
the man is alleged to have told Cap
tain Stevens, with load of tequila,
to be delivered to the purchaser short
distance out of San Antonio. A rem.
devious had been arranged and he
was to wait.
When he reached the designated
spot, the man said, three men in ar
automobile drove up, saying they
were revenue officers and told hin
he was under arrest. They are alleged
to have "deputized" the would-be pur
chaser and placed him over the victim
as guard. Then the others drove away
"The deputy the man told Cap
tain Stevens, allowed me to escape
But instead of leaving the scene, tn;
victim hid himself and awaited de,
velopments.
"What / saw the victim told Cap
tain Stevens, was the three stranger:

and drive toward the city"
THREATENS BUYER.
Later. the victim told Captain. Ste.
vens, he with a friend, who was a
former officer. went to the would-bs
buyer and under threat of exposing
him. secured deed of trust to some
property in Idaho, pending payment
of note given him for the price Of
the tequila.
The attorney who drew the deed oil
trust. Captain Stevens said, is alleged
to have declared that the man has
property in Idaho, and to have ad.
mitted that tequila was involved in
the deal. The attorney, Captain Ste
vens said, is under investigation.
