TECATE ROBBERS
ARE CAPTURED
BY LOCAL JUDGE
Pair Held in San Diego
Jail Under Heavy Bond
On Two Charges.

Judge Edgar B. Hervev of this
city. was the hero of robbery es-
| capadc between here and San Diego
yesterday, according to reports
reaching this city today, and as a
result of which a couple giving the
names of Mr.. and Mira G. Denema
are held in jail at San Diego under
bonds of $1,000 each.
| Hervey was one of several per
sons marooned at Jacumba Thurs
! day night on account of the storm
The stranded people joined togeth-
cr in making the evening pass pleas
| antly, and the Denenas, who intro
duced themselves as San Diego en-
tertainers, were the life of the
party.
During the evening they proposed
/ q trip to Tccate, the next day and
the idea met with general approval.
Yesterday the Denenas, accompan-
led by Mr.. and Mrs. C.. \. BenninG,
the latter connected with the Bank
of Italy at Los Angeles, Mr.. and
Mrs. Guy w. Nannev of Baltimore,
!. d. Powell and Judge Icrvcy, set
out for Tecate.
Arriving there IIervey's suspic-
ions were aroused by the actions of
the Denenas and he became con
WINGED that all was not as it should
be. He left the party for Il mo-
ment to talk with some Mexican of
ficials known to him, and upon his
return, found that his friends had
departed.
Man Is Doped
Powell was soon located in q cafe,
i'll an unconscious condition and de-
clarcd he had been given knockout
drops by the Denenas. 4 bill fold
containing several hundred dollars
was missing from his coat pocket,
also diamond ring and a scarf
pin.
Mr.. and Mrs. Benning were found
IN their car, to which they had gone
shortly after Hervey left the party.
Search was instituted for the
Nanneys, who were found on the
road leading to the boundary line.
They had been attacked by the De
nenas, Nanney said and a fur Goa:
valued at several hundred dollars,
a fur neck piece, an automatic pis-
tol and their jewclry had been tax
en- from them.
Hervey set out in pursuit of Den
enas and overlook them several
miles east of FL Cajon. He forced
their ear off the road, and bluffed
Doncna into beliving he had Il gun,
thereby preventing the latter from
attempting to use the pistol he had
taken from Nanney. A passing
motorist took word into FL Caion
and the marshal of that city came
out and placed the couple under ar
rest.
They were arraigned in the San
Diego court this morning on charges
of highway robbery and grand lar
eeny, entering pleas of not guilty.
They were ordered held for trial in
the superior court under bonds of
$4,000 each.

flashing in the morning sun to
the rhythm Of their chant.
Marie-Anne looked up at him
suddenly, and in her face and
eyes he saw what the starry

from him in those thrilling mo-
ments when they shot through
the rapids of the Holy, Ghost.
She was girl now. He did not
think of her as woman. He did
not think OF her as st. Pierres

her eyes was something that
thrilled him to the depth or his
soul. She seemed, for a moment,
to have dropped a curtain from
between herself and him.
Her red lips trembledz she
smiled at him, and then she faced
the river again, and he leaned a
little forward, so that a breath OF
wind fioated "a shimmering tress
of her hair against his cheek:
An irresistible impulse seized
upon him. He leaned still near
to her. holding his breath, until
his lips softly touched one Of the
velvety coils OF her hair.
And then he, stepped back.
Shame swept over HIN. His heart
rose and choked him. and his
fists were clenched at his side.

an arm about his twisted shoulders.
and slowly she turned so that in a.
moment or two they were facting
the sun-and it seemed to Carrigan
that she was talking and sobbing
and laughing in the same breath,
as that great. broken hulk of a
man moved out slowly from under
the caress of her arm and went
on his way.
For a space she looked after
him. Then in a swift movement
she closed the door and faced
Carrigan. She did not speak, but
waited. Her head was high. She
was breathing quickly. The ten
derness that a moment before had
filled her face was gone. and in
her eyes was the blaze of fighting
fires as she waited for him to
epeak-to give voice to what she
knew was passing in his mind.
For space there was silence
between Carrigan and st. Pierre's
wife. He knew what she was
thinking as she stood with her
back to the door, waiting half
defiantly, her cheeks still flushed,
her eyes bright with the antici-
patton Of battle. She was ready
to fight for the broken creature
on the other side of the door.
