Durable Duo

EQUADOR

One afternoon in June 1939, slim young Julia Esther Briones walked into a swank Guayaquil barbershop, pumped five bullets into her rich, reclining, about-to-be-shaved lover, Ramon Hidalgo R. To jail went Julia with a nine-year sentence. In November 1940, Army Captain Felix Guerrero Zarate blasted three bullets into the beautiful young body of his just-divorced wife, Maria Magdalena Mejia. To jail went Felix with an eight-year sentence.

Last week, from Guayaquil jail, Captain Felix Guerrero announced his engagement to Senorita Julia Esther Briones. Said Julia: "Our engagement ring is of steel, instead of gold, as a symbol of the durability of our love."
