...found 19 teen-aged girls, including the three for whom the search was started. They were prisoners in what Mexican newspapers called "a concentration camp for white slaves," complete with tiny cells and grisly torture devices. In the house, police arrested two notorious white slavers, Delfina González Valenzuela, 55, her sister María de Jesús, 40, and a handful of their helpers. A few weeks later police picked up a third sister, Eva. Further search at the ranch and at two brothels owned by the sisters uncovered the remains of 17 young women and five...

...odds on Kelso: 1-2), Mongo broke in front and was never headed. At the end Kelso was a half-length back, and eight foreign horses-from England, France, Venezuela, Ireland, Hungary and the Soviet Union-were practically out of sight.
