A pretty student-nurse, II, is be-
ing sought by San Antonio police who

the latter had failed to appear at the
depot where the two had planned to
start on a visit TO Florida.
When hospital officials told the
guardian that the girl had not been
seen for several days, police were
asked to locate her.
A woman who also had been en-
ployed at the hospital was questioned
and admitted being with the girl carly
Friday evening but denied knowledge
of her whereabouts. Later it was
learned they had been together at a
late hour.
This woman is being questioned
further by police.
The foster-mother told police that

nattily attired automobile thieves and
swindlers, have been captured.

They are believed to have taken at
least so machines in their opera
tons which extended from San Diego
to st. Augustine.

Car owners were not the only
losers, as the machines were repaint-
ed; their numbers changed; insur-
ance taken out-and then they were
stolen again. Huge sums have been
obtained in this manner from the in
surance companies.
After the second operation the band
drove the cars to Mexico where other
Fconfederates sold them.
The first arrests were made Thurs
day when Detectives Grasshoff and
Bartholomae arrested two fashion
ably dressed young men, who claimed
to be college students, in a smart
apartment house on Broadway.
DISPUTE OVER SPOILS.
They were amply supplied with
money; possessed large wardrobes Of
expensive raiment and their quarters
were furnished luxuriously.

PRETENDED
OPERATION
CHARGED
Victim, Told She Has Eye
Trouble, Submits to
Treatment

Fake oculists, who have fleeced
hundreds of persons throughout rural
sections surrounding San Antonio,
Friday visited the city and swindled
woman living on Wicks avenue of
5000.
Police here have received nearly
100 complaints of the operations of
the two swindlers but prior to Friday
had not been given good descriptions
of the men. The woman furnished
these.
According to the victims story the
"oculists" visited her and offered
to fit her with glasses at greatly re-
duced prices as they had purchased
large stocks in st. Louis for cash.
ADVISE OPERATION.
While fitting" her, one of the
swindlers announced that she had a
cataract on her eye and that an opera
ton would be necessary to save her
sight in that organ.
She submitted to the operation after
the "oculists" had tried to improve
her sight with glasses but to no avail.
Following the fake operation other
glasses were used and her sight
seemed restored.
She paid them 5000 for their SER
vices.
Later she learned that she had not
been operated upon: that the glasses
were worthless, and that her sight
was almost normal.
GIVES GOOD DESCRIPTION.
One of the men was described as
being of short stature; weight 40
pounds, about % years of age dark
complexion and had two drawn"
fingers on his left hand. He wore
mohair suit. .
The other was about %, tall, and
weighed about 100 pounds, had a light
complexion and wore a light gray
suit.
They gave the names of Edwards ="
and Rogers"

on Appeals Necessary,
Says Prosecutor.

An early trial of suits pending
against present and former county Of
ficials to recover thousands of dollars
alleged due Bexar County in excess
fees collected by them, will be sought
by District Attorney C. NJ. Chambers,
he stated Saturday. He hopes to bring
up the cases in early fall when the
district courts open their regular ses-
sions.
Among those named as defendants
are Mayor John W. Tobinp County
Attorney Tom J. Newton. former
County Clerk Frank R. Newton, for
mer District Clerk Andres Coy. JUS
tice of the Peace Ben S. Fisk, County
Tax Collector r. Neil Campbell, for
merly justice of the peace, former Col
lector John A. Bitter and County
Clerk Jack r. Burke.
WILLING TO PAY.
Mr.. Chambers also will ask that the
heirs of former District Clerk Osceola
Archer and former Constable John E.
Trainer be made defendants.
Judgments against Bitter and Burke
already have been obtained in Sew
cnty-third District Court and are now
on appeal to the Supreme Court.
Mayor Tobin, who formerly was sher-
iff, and Andres Coy have expressed a
willingness to pay their quota when
the cases finally are decided.

get the Supreme Court to decide the
two cases now before it. A motion to
advance submission will be made as
soon as that court opens for the fall
term.
