EL PASO, Feb. 3.—The underworld of Juarez ig in. turmoil today . with the news that its hero, “Little Phil” Alguin,.is headed for Caltfornia for trial, Coming atop. the story that Clara Vhillips had for days been hiding in its midst, the Calle Diablo, “toughest ten acres in Amierléd,"” “is “frankly stunned at the latest turn In ‘the checkered career of Alguin. ; “Little Phil,” during a stay “of three troubled months in Juarez, or- ganized’ a band of criminals the like of which had not been seen before in that haven of crookdom. Among the honest peon population, as well, Phil became a figure. He symbolized the grand ideal of the average border Mexican—this man, who could laugh at the dignity of the United States and get away with it, That Chief of Police Oaks of Los Angeles will make a grave mistake to bring his prisoner by way of El Paso is the belief of veteran officers here. This sentiment seems borne out by the talk one, hears in the twisted lanes of the Juarez under- world. Little groups of Mexican criminals and.expatriated American crooks are discussing in hushed tones in bar room back rooms and in pool hall hangouts the possibility of a recov- ery of Alguin from tho hands of the American law. In El Paso today two stories are abroad as to the manner in which Alguin’s final and long delayed dep- ortation was brought about To those “in the know,” the taking of Alguin from aboard the takner Tampico under the flag of the United States {s just the logical conclusion of an application of the “law of the Rio Grande,” the unwritten law of abduction by any means you may, en. force by a small group of famous soldiers of fortune who now make their headquarters in El Paso. In expert work by a former El detective brought failure amid the first at. Paso riots and shooting in tempts to capture Phil. Admitting at jJast his inability to take the con- fessed slayer of Detective Sergeant Fitzgerald with ordinary. tactics Chief Oaks of Los Angeles turned to the free agents of the border. Influence brought to bear gray hatred veteran of 18 yea fighting under half dozen flags, brought about the deportation order, the ‘wise ones’ here believe On the Calle Diablo they mention this soldier of fortune’s name today in fear and trembling. If he can being about the; deportation of Phi Alguin and can, as he hag, seriously \nterested the Mexican government in the Clara Phillips search, he can take any of them over the line and claim the varying rewards that are these characters be on their heads, Heve. The underworld of Juarez, where are gathered “wanted” men from from every state in the unton, trem- bles today as Alguin sits in his ship prison.
