GIRL IDENTIFIES
ST. HEDWIG
BANDIT
Queer Voice Betrays S. A.
Negro as Victim
Picks Suspect
An unusual voice and peculiarities
in his speech were the identifying fea-
tures by which Miss Catherine Smith
victim of a negro bandit who made her
remove her shoes and stockings and
pursued her throughout the night in
the St. Hedwig section Sunday was
able to identify the bandit.
“I would recognize that voice any-
where” Miss Smith said when she
was taken to the police station late
Monday night and shown two negro
suspects who had been arrested by
Deputy Sheriff Feliciano Flores. Spe-
cial Investigator John Long and Police
Captain William Green. She quickly
pointed to the negro whom she alleges
chased her through the brush. "He
has the same voice and is of the same
size as the one who held us up."
STOPPED BY BANDIT.
The holdup occurred Sunday night
when Miss Smith riding in the side-
car of Louis Bressitte Motorcycle
Company No. 2. Fort Sam Houston
was returning from a visit to her
mother. They were stopped by a negro
as the motorcycle arrived at the inter-
section of the Southern Pacific and
Katy tracks in the St Hedwig dis-
trict.
The young woman and her com-
panion were forced to alight from the
machine and accompany the bandit
about a mile down the road. There
the highwayman made Misa Smith re-
move her shoes and stockings and turn
over her purse containing a small
amount of money and a package of
wearing apparel belonging to her
mother. ■
PURSUED THROUGH BRUSH.
Miss Smith fled through the brush
when the outlaw turned to her com-
panion. The bandit forced Bressitte to
run in the opposite direction and then
pursued the girl.
From midnight until almost day-
light the girl and her relentless pur-
suer played a game of hide-and-seek
through the woods. Although cruelly
torn about the body legs and feet by
thorns and sharp rocks the young
woman eventually managed to elude
her pursuer and made her way to the
home of August Petterman. Walters
street and the Southern Pacific tracks
where she fell exhausted. As soon a?
she was able to do so she related her
experienc.
The officers took up the trail at aay-
light and after a thorough search of
the neighborhood they found two ne-
groes skulking in a mesquite thicket
near the scene of the holdup. Both
were arrested and taken to the station.
When Miss Smith saw them her identi-
fication of one as her assiiant was in-
stantly made and positive.
