For Simple Murder the Man
Who Actually Captured
Aguinaldo is Imprisoned

for Life.
Denver, COL, Jan. 1. Manila
dispatches received at the head
quarters of the Colorado here
state that Hilary PIacido, a Fill
pino, who aided Gen. Funston in
the capture of Aguinaldo, has
been sentenced to life imprison-
ment for murder. Details of the
crime are lacking but Gen. Fun
ston and other army officers who
knew the scout believe that the
crime was committed since they
left the island, as it does not seem
probable that Placido could have
been called to account for some
thing done during the time he was
engaged as an active participant
in the revolution.
In speaking rof Placido Gen.
Funston said:
"He was never my spy, and
and the only money he ever re-
ceived from the United States
was for the part he took in the
capture of Aguinalde. He fought
against the Spaniards and then
took up arms against the United
States. In 1899 he was severely
wounded, being shot through the
lung. He recovered and again
took an active part in the war.
The following year he surrender
ed at the same time that Gen.
Garcia did. He was a prisoner
for about three months and then
| released him. He took the oath
OF allegiance and oftentimss of
his own volition gave me informs-
ton regarding the.enemy. He was
not spy in the sense of the
word that he was in the govern
ment's $ employ, nor did he ever 90
into their lines for Information
for their use.
NV hen l arranged the plan for
the capture of Aguinaldo | took
Placldo along. He did not know
the object of the expedition un.
Til we were we'll un Ter way. I
then explained my plan to him
and he agreed to help me. In
order to carry out the scheme he
became the nominal commander
of the expedition as it was nee
essary to make the natives be-
lieve that we Americans were
prisoners. When we reachsd tho
camp of Aguinaldo, Placido rush
ed in and threw his former chief
on the floor of the hut and held
him there until we made him a
prisoner. For his part in this
work he was paid by the govern.
ment."
