    Pedro Crisostomo and others dragged Macaria Gabriel against her will to a rice field while she was walking with her aunt Candida Acuña. Candida was prevented from helping by others who caught and held her. Gregoria Acuña came to help after hearing cries and attacked those holding Candida, freeing her. Candida then reported what happened to Macaria's brother Constantino. The court found the appellants guilty of illegal detention, not abduction through violence, as Pedro Crisostomo admitted to detaining Macaria after she refused his proposal, seeing it as an offense against her and her family.

    GENERAL RULE OF LAW/DOCTRINE

    FACTS

    After 8 or 9 am of Dec 26, 1920, while Macaria Gabriel and her aunt Candida Acuña were walking in the direction
    of their houses from that of Gregoria Acuña, to whom Macaria had paid the sum of P30, Pedro Crisostomo met
    them on the way.

    Pedro Crisostomo, Lorenzo Alcoba, and Casimiro Garde dragged Macaria Gabriel along and took her against her
    will to a rice field. Macaria Gabriel cried for help and proffered insults to the appellants.

    The other defendants, Segundo Espiritu, Primitivo Alcoba, and Bartolome Caguiat, caught hold of Candida Acuña,
    thus preventing her from helping her niece.

    Gregoria Acuña, attracted by the cries of Candida, repaired to the place and, with a club attacked those who were
    holding Candida, and they lastly released her.

    As soon as Candida Acuña was released by her aggressors, she went to the house of Macaria Gabriel and reported
    the matter to the latter's brother, Constantino, who ran after the abductors of his sister overtaking them when
    they had just released her, which they did upon seeing Constantino.

    ISSUES AND RULINGS

    WON the appellants are guilty of abduction through violence


    Held: No. Guilty only of illegal detention
    (1) The manner of eloping planned, according to the defense, by Macaria Gabriel, is improbable:

     the offended party was 30 years' age, she must be presumed more reflexive and cautions in carrying out a
    preconceived plan than a young woman,
     she would not have done so in the daytime
     she would not have gone in company with Candida Acuña
     In view of her age, she would have naturally enjoyed a certain degree of

    liberty such as to go, as she did, to the barrio of Salinas, Bacoor, from her residence in Palicot, Imus; with
    which liberty she could have planned and carried into effect with full success her escape from the
    parental house.

    (2) Pedro Crisostomo spontaneously, admitted to Lieutenant Sotto of the Constabulary having, with his
    companions, deemed it advisable to abduct Macaria, in view of the fact that she firmly answered in the
    negative to his proposal and, on another occasion, he requested Epifanio Gabriel, another brother of the
    offended party, to intervene in his favor and that he considered the fault committed by him as an offense
    not only against Macaria but also against her family.
