The matter of Elfigo Apodaca, then, he laid aside for the present, and concerned himself chiefly with what on the surface were trifles, but which, taken together, formed a chain of disquieting incidents.
Elfigo Apodaca is in jail, held for the shooting of Estan Medina. Luis Medina is in jail too, held as a witness and to keep Apodaca's men from killing him before he can testify in court. I hated to see the kid tangled up with it and I hate to see you in it. But that don't give me any license to let you off. You're under arrest.
Estan they feared Estan would not come in, and the time was coming so close and Estan held out and talked against it. I told him his life would pay for his holding out. I told him! And now I shall kill Apodaca and my life also will pay " "What is this thou sayest?" The mother, roused from her lamentations by the boy's vehemence, plucked at his sleeve. "But thou must not kill, my little son.
The revolutionary army became known as "the Army of the Three Guarantees," these being the maintenance of the religious establishment in its present form, independence, and the union of Americans and Spaniards. This ingenious document received immediately the widest approval. The Viceroy Apodaca had practically abdicated when his successor, General O'Donaju, arrived from Spain.
Then feet running away then I came out Ah, querido mio, that thou shouldst be torn from thy mother thus!" "And you don't know ?" "No, no no ah, that my heart should break with sorrow " "Hush, mother! 'Twas Apodaca! He is powerful and Estan would not come into the Alliance.
Do we get lined up against a wall?" Holly Sommers chuckled. "Not if your car can put you across the line soon enough. Then, even though Mexico might be called upon to execute one Elfigo Apodaca as an example to the souls in bondage, some other bullet-riddled cadaver with your name and physical likeness would do as well as your own carcass." He chuckled again.
He swore an abrupt oath as a concrete expression of his mood, and dropped the boot with a thump to the floor. The word and the action served to swing his thoughts into another channel not much more pleasant, but a great deal more impersonal. "He's shore foxy that hombre!" he said, thinking of Elfigo Apodaca.
But even so it did not require speech to tell him that Elfigo Apodaca had never before met Helen May Stevenson, and that Holman Sommers was not overeager to introduce him to her. Starr, watching every movement of the three when they came together, frowned with puzzlement. Why had they been strangers until just now?
He maintains that young Medina is essentially a traitor, and that his evidence at the preliminary hearing was given purely in the spirit of revenge. That Comrade Apodaca will be exonerated fully of the charge of murder, I myself can entertain no scintilla of doubt. We may therefore dismiss from our minds any uneasiness we may, some of us, have entertained on that score.
He did not know how long he would have to wait, but he knew that Luis would not spare his horse. He smoked, and studied the things which Luis had let drop; every word of immense value to him now. Elfigo Apodaca he knew slightly, and he wondered a little that he would be the Alliance leader in this section of the State.
