Asheville, Feb. 6—Mrs. Marion Hamby and Herbert Skyles, her brother, were held to Superior Court under bonds of $1,500 and $5,000 respectively, following hearing in police court yesterday on charges of highway robbery. Silvano Delgrado, said to be a wealthy Cuban, identified the pair as having “worked a badger game” on him. Mrs. Hamby, he testified, invited him to ride in her automobile and in a remote section of the city, stopped her car, signaled with a flashlight whereupon two men appeared and, with drawn pistols, relieved him of a diamond ring worth $4,000 and other valuables. The ring was recovered in a pawn shop in Atlanta and was submitted as evidence. Mrs. Hamby and Skyles were brought here from Atlanta yesterday under extradition powers.
