FOR
ILLEGAL ENTRY

Loreto Aguirre's arrest yesterday
for illegal entry into the United
States was not so important to au-
thorities until his record was con-
suited at the county Jail.
In 1882 he was convicted on two
counts OF violation OF immigration
laws, for smuggling aliens into the
United States and for conspiracy.
He served a light Jail sentence on
the first count and an lS-month
penitentiary sentence for the Sec
ond was suspended.
He was given probation for five
years on condition that he remain
in Mexico to which place he was
deported and refrain from violating
any United States laws.
The fact that immigration Off
cials were made special probation
officers also was shown in the rec
ords on file at the county jail. This
further complicated matters for
Aguirre.
Aguirre will be taken before the
federal court in San Diego and his
probation viii be revoked.
