There, incredulous officials questioned the prisoner for hours on end, laid every kind of verbal trap to see if he really was the man he claimed to be.

Last week, with the returns tabbed, San Francisco took the leap, handed Spanish-born Enrique Jordá, 42, a two-year contract. Conductor Jordá (pronounced Hor-dah) had led the balloting...
