Gang of Blackmailers Active in San Antonio Case
Authorities link December home robbery of David Retana, secretary to Gen. Bernardo Reyes, and January letter to Albert Kronkosky to a byproduct of a band allegedly operating in San Antonio. Jewels worth about 6000 to 7000 dollars and 350 dollars vanished, with threats to abduct Retana Jr. if reports were made. A chain recovered from the scene served as a taunting clue.
