Bodies of Siamese Twins
Discovered in Bank Vault
Watsonville, Calif. -(UPD-An
unclaimed suitcase, which
gathered dust in a bank vault
here for many years, con
tained the bodies of Siamese
twin babies-possibly born and
embalmed 52 years ago.
Authorities revealed Wed
nesday that the bodies were
discovered, along with death
and medical records, In the
vault of the Pajaro Valley
bank Sunday.
Law Results in Check
The vault check was made
as a result of a recent Jaw
which requires a report to the
late controller with an inven
tory of items in the bank
which have not been claimed
for seven yean.
The babies apparently died
shortly after birth. A death
certificate found in the suit
case was signed In Tucson,
Ariz., on April 10, 1908, and
said the babies died In Stiver
Bell, Ariz.
The name on the death cer
tificate was Antonio E. Her
rera and the mother's name
was given as Mrs. Maria Hol
guin Hcrrera.
Bank officials said they did
not know how long the em
balmed bodies had been in the
vault. The suitcase had been
noticed for many years in a
part of the vault reserved for
temporary deposits.
The discovery was made by
assistant cashier Jim Radich
and superintendent of the sav
ings department Ken Taylor.
Found X-Ray
Thnv told authorities that
when they opened the suit
case, they found an X-ray
showing the twins after death.
They lifted a blanket and
found the bodies. A certifi
cate with the bodies, signed
by O. E. Parker, registered
emhnlmer. said:
"1 hereby certify that the
body (sic) of twin babies of
Antonio E. Herrcra has been
properly embalmed and tn

different law enforce
ment agencies today were
searching for a bandit, armed
with a .45 calibrr pistol, who
held up a military vehicle

money pouch containing
about $16,000. Critically
wounded was PFC Paul A.

who attempted to thwart the
holdup by drawing his gun
The bandit shot him with the

As Gallegos fell, he emp

neth O. Brown; and Gallegos
to "freeze."

IMPROMPTU CONFERENCE Seated on a log stump,
Puerto Rican Governor Luiz Munoz Marin, center, holds an
Impromptu press conference while campaigning in the moun

His party has come under recent attack by the Bishops of

among voters was discussed
by Sweetland, the Democratic
nominee, and Appling, the
GOP secretary of state incum
bent. Sweetland said Oregon
had the third lowest illiteracy
rate in the country and that
the state's real problem on
public questions was apathy
among voters. Appling said
100,000 persons did not vote
on some measures in 1958 and
said he considered that for
voters to feel informed was
more important than a liter
acy test.
Cook, the Democratic treas
urer nominee, said he believes
the Board of Control should
be abolished, making the gov
ernor responsible for its func
tions. Belton, the GOP in
cumbent, said he believed
"three heads are better than
one." The board is made up
of the governor, secretary of
state and the state treasurer.
Francis and Thornton, who
also traded statements on the
Portland vice probe earlier in
the day, brought up the sub
ject again. Francis, the GOP
candidate for the second
straight time against Thorn
ton, criticized the incumbent
for taking the time to run for
Congress. Thornton disputed
Francis' assessment of the
probe and said his efforts re
sulted in closing Portland
gambling places and houses of
prostitution. Earlier, Thorn
ton replied to Francis' criti
cism about his running lor
Congress by saying the vice
probe was in 1956 and that
an inctjui lascs wcic uuijuku .
nf hnfnro hp filpH to run for I
Congress. Francis said Thorn
ton "did not have time to
finish the job" in Portland
and that this was a cause for
183 indictments being issued
and only one conviction re
sulting.
Green, Lee Tangle
Lee said federal aid to edu
cation would bring about fed
eral control of education. Mrs.
Green denied Lee's assertion
that federal aid would take
20 per cent of each Oregon
education tax dollar and said
she believed the proper ad
ministration cost figure about
per cent or lower.

appointment and Sweetland

earlier had announced h i s
support of Lemon.
