Jack Wolfe of Cleveland, and Joe Burraau of Chi- j cago, fought ten fast rounds to a draw hero last night oo J situation he never had known of a Mexican being punished for killing an American in Mexico. "There has heen no safety for American life or property in Mexico since 1910," he said. "I have known a lot of Mexicans In that time, and I do not know one and I know Carranza whose oath I would accept." Dr. Hunter was at Guadlajara when the Americans occupied Vera Cruz. His account of the flight of the Americans Ameri-cans from there was accepted as additional addi-tional evidence of the higher regard held by Mexicans for British and German Ger-man representatives. It was the British Brit-ish consul who afforded protection to the Americans at Guadalajara and a German clerk at another town who effected ef-fected the release of Americans held by Mexican soldiers by declaring himself him-self a German consular officer, he said. I J. D. Ward, now a farmer, Texas, gave the first instance in tho committee's commit-tee's record of an American scoring on the Mexicans. Ward shot three and got back to the United States without being captured. Pie was living on a fruit farm with his wife in 1915, ho testified. One night he was visited by soldiers, led by one identified as a noncommissioned non-commissioned officer in Carranza's army. Th?y had been there before and tried to extort money. That night, Ward said, he gave the leader some, but not enough to satisfy him and he and his men tried to force their way through the door. "I had told my wife to get under the bod," he testified. "I had made up my mind I would lme to fight. As the leader came in I fired and he fell. The others began firing and continued their efforts to enter. I had estimated estimat-ed there were not more than eight or ten in the background when the controversy con-troversy began. Pretty soon another came in sight and I let him havo It, too, and a moment later I managed to make out Che outlines of another , man and I got him." The attacking party withdrew and the remainder of the night was spent by Mr. and Mrs. Ward in hiding under their barn. It developed next day, he said, that Mexicans on their way to his house had raided that of an American negro, brutally attacking the man's wife. A Cherokee Indian, Odia Jacks, who was a member of tho Blalock colony, testified he had been held 19 days and ordered shot by Col. Lopez de" Lara, who insisted he was a YaquI Indian and a spy of Villa. Jacks is from Pine Bluff, Ark. His testimony was corrob- ! oralive of others who have told of 1 outrages and depredations. His es-nape es-nape was an indirect result of .his en ' forced practice of medicine. i I He said he had a quantity of medl- 'clnes and the Mexicans insisting he ' jmust know their uses, compelled him I to treat them. His supply ran low ; and he was given permission to go to l Tampico for more. There, through as- ' sislance of the American consul, he re- ; f turned to America. x J When the train on which Mr Hun- j ter and other American refugees was t ; on its way from Guadalajara to Man- j& zanlllo the occupants were subjected , Ii he declared, to Jeers and threats of J Mexicans at stations through which jj they passed. The Mexicans were con- J ji.1 vinced by manufactured "news" being -J printed that their country and the i United States wore at war, that every i ' Li American town on the border except , i El Paso had been captured and that jj already "a Mexican army of 150,000 1 jj jwas trampling the soil of the United HI States while the cowardly Americans ijll were fleeing." IB At one place a largo American flag 3I was swept over the ground and then nil torn to strips. These strips were then HI burned, the ashes being thrown fll through tho car windows into thefr fjl facs. lifj Gonzalo de la Mata, the Mexican consul hero, has received and nn- HiJ nounced instructions from the Mexi- ifiEj can foreign office relative to the man- ilss ner in which his government will re- film gard any Mexican who testifies. To all II m callers ho has explained Mexico will JJI regard them as traitors. ill |
