undoing of Carmen Garcia, %, held
here ut the county Jail as an in
eligible alien suspect and he faces
a trip to Oakland TO be tried in
that city for murder.
Garcia was taken into custody Sat
urdav at Sandia by Inspectors Shea

as AN ineligible alien. His finger
prints were taken by Deputy Sheriff

same prints on a circular from the
Oakland police department, asking
that a watch be kept for Gracia,
The circular advised that he WIS
wanted for murder at Oakland an
January Is, 1929, but gave no de
Tails relative to the crime.
