YOUNG ROBBER
ESCAPES JAIL
Raider of Brownsville
Homes Being Sought
In Matarnoros

Officers on both sides Of the Rio
Grande today are searching for
Manuel Hernandez, youthful burg
lar and Jail breaker, who early
Wednesday morning escaped from
the Matamoros jail and IS now be-
lieved hiding in the brushlands
along the river.
Hernandez, who also operated un-
der the alias OF Jim Huerta, was
arrested in Matamoros in December
and a large amount Of clothing and
jewelry, the loot OF several daylight
robberies in Brownsville. was found
in his possession. One Of the homes
robbed on this side of the river was
that of a Mexican national and Her.
nandez was held for trial in the
Mexican courts on the charge Of
robbing the home Of Mexican
citizen and smuggling goods across
the Rio Grande.
In the series of daylight robber-
les Hernandez is alleged to have
perpetrated, the homes of A. G.
Hipp, Frank Alcedo and S. c. Gra-
ham were ransacked and q large
amount Of clothing and valuable
jewelry taken. Part Of the loot was
later found BY Matamoros officials
in the possession of Hernandez.
Investigation by Brownsville po-
lice disclosed that Hernandez escap-
ed from the Huntsville penitentiary
a few months ago while serving a
sentence for robbing the home of
an attorney in San Antonio He
eluded the prison guards and es-
capped to the border, evidently cross
ing at some point near Laredo. Lat
er he returned TO the American side
and again started on his career as
a daylight burglar.
When Hernandez was arrested IN
San Antonio he gave his name as
Jim Huerta. Investigation by the
San Antonio police brought out that
he had travelled under a number of
aliases.
He was arrested three times in
Los Angeles on burglary charges
and received light sentences. In
1926 he was arrested ct San Diego,
California, where he gave the name
Of Salinas. After serving q brief
sentence he transferred his activi-
ties TO San Antonio. Hernandez is
less than 20 years OF age, but has
already established a record as one
of the most active and shrewd
criminals on the Mexican border.
