NO INFORMATION
AS TO WHO HAS
BEEN INDICTED

No additional information re-
garding the nine indictments re-
turned yesterday by the grand
jury could be obtained today,
and inquiry at the sheriff's Of
flee was barren of any results
that might show the identity of
the parties who have been in
dicted.
In accordance with the in
structions issued by Judge Conk-
ling, before whom the indict-
ments were returned, no infor-
nation has been given out re-
garding the men indicted, and
>heir identity is to remain Sc
cret until they have either de
posted $1,000 bail or have been
taken into custody.
Upon being asked when this
information might be available,
county official, in position to
know, stated that it would be at
least tomorrow and possibly
Monday before any information
could be divulged about the in
dictments. 1t is assumed some
of those indicted live out of the

QUICK WORK OF |
LOCAL OFFICER
NABS 4 HINDUS
Immigration Men of
Valley and Jacumba
Make Catch

What is considered an important
catch in the alien smuggling line,
has just been given out by Inspec-
tor Chaffin, in charge of the local
immigration office.
Early this week q Hindu was ar
rested by the immigration Officers
at Cabazon, on the road to Los An
geles, and upon being questioned, he
involved an Imperial Valley Hindu,
who had agreed to smuggle him and
three other countrymen into the
United States from Mexico.
Acting ON the information given
them by the Cabazon Hindu, the To-
cal office learned that the Imperial
Valley Hindu and his three COM
rades had rented car in local
garage, announcing their intention
to drive to San Diego. This infor-
nation was received shortly after
the Hindus had left this city.
Inspector Chaffin communicated
this information to the immigration
officers at Jacumba, and. the latter
intercepted the car, taking all four
Hindus into custody. They were
taken to San Diego and are now in
the county Jail in that city, await
ing a hearing. The Hindu arrested
at Cabazon, is in the Los Angeles
Jail.
The Imperial Valley Hindu who
is supposed to have engineered the
smuggling plot, gave the name of
Hari Singh, but the immigration
men believe this is an alias. He is
said to reside on a ranch between
FL Centre and Heber.
The prompt manner in which the
immigration officers acted, and the
success they made in breaking up
the plot, bears out the story about
them in recent edition of the Sat.
urday Evening Post.
This morning the immigration of.
fices, which have been in the Davis
building for the past three months,
were moved to rooms 2O6, 207 and
POS, Pacific Southwest building.
Their new quarters will give them
more room to carry on their work,
Inspector Chaffin said.
