CREEL IS GOING BACK.
His Mission Does Not Appear to Have
Borne Fruit.

Washington. Dec. 29-Governor
-CPeel- chihuahua, who came to
Washington some weeks ago as the
personal representative of President
Diaz of Mexico, today had a confer
ence with Secreary Knox. Governor
Creers mission here was in the in
terest of peace in Nicaragua and par
ticularly to adjust as far as possible
the differences between the United
States and the Zelaya administration.
No statement has ever been made
either by Governor Creel or by the Of
ficials of the state department as to
the particular suggestions made by
President Diaz to accomplish this end.
However there is reason to believe
the United States has not changed it's
policy in any particular with respect
to the Zelava faction.
Governor Creel said he had called.
on Secretary Knox merely to say good
bye. as he expected to leave for New
York within the next day or two and
then would proceed to Mexico City. Up
to noon today the state department
had received no kilograms from Mica
ragua. 1t is assumed however that
General Estrada is making rapid
preparations for the movement of his
army on Mdnagua. That he will have
determined opposition is very prob
able. in view of the fact that Madriz
is reported to be organizing an army
to meet his advance

HOW THEY WERE KILLED
True Story Of the Execution of Cam
non and Grocc.

Managua, Dec. 29.-Recent reports
that Groce and Cannon. the American
recruits in the insurgent army who
were put to death at the command OF
President Zelaya. were tortured before
being shot are untrue.
The facts were in the possession of
the state department a month ago
and 1t was generally supposed here
been given publicity through official
channels. AS it is. advantage has been
taken of the opportunity in some in
stances, to paint picture more in
teresting than truthful.
The glory of Captain -Anibal Chaves.
who refused to obey an order to take
command of the firing squad. IS
dimmed somewhat by the light of
known circumstances. Generals To-
ledo. Medina and Irias had implored
Zelaya to abandon his purpose OF
shooting the Americans.
Zelaya, however, could not be in
f1uenced and General Toledo finally
ordered Captain Chaves not to assume
command of the squad. Chaves chose
to obey Toledo rather than the presi-

Upon his release Chaves made the
most of the episode.
Groce and Cannon were notified of
the death sentence at 1890 o'clock on
the night of November Is. They were
executed at 10 O'Clock the following
morning. AS they We're marched out

On the way to the scene of execution
they passed the open graves that had
been prepared for them. AT one time
Groce stepped out of the line of march
and pleaded with General Medina:

Mason"
Cannon quickly seized his compan-
ion and. pulling him back into line,
said:
brace up, old man We have no
chance under zelaya's orders"
Standing in the center of the square
formed by 100 soldiers, the two men
heard their sentence read from the
four corners together with the usual
warning in such cases:
''Any one displaying evidence of
sympathy Will be shot in similar

EVIDENCE ALL IN.
Brokaw Divorce Case Is Adjourned
Until Saturday.

New York, Dec. 29.-The sensational
and long drawn out Brokaw separa-
tfon suit closed today SO far as taking
of testimony is concerned
The hearing was adjourned to Satur-
day when the case will be finally sub
mitted to Justice Purnam for his de-
ciSion after w. Gould Brokaw's attor-
neys have presented a statement Of
their clients financial position.
The closing of the. proceedings came
soon after Mr.. Brokaw's cross exam-
nation had been concluded and Mrs.
Mary Blair Brokaw had been recalled.
The plaintiff was well fortified with
denials of charges made by her tus-
band. She emphatically denied Mr..
Brokaw had ever told her about threats
made by her father, Mr. Blair. at At
lantic City, to kill the millionaire
She declared she had never smoked
cigarettes in her husbands presence
before their marriage, as Mr.. Brokaw w
had testified. And she denied ever tell
ing her maid that she expected soon to
set up a house of her own and wanted
the maid to work for her.
Mrs Brokaw's attorneys through
their exhaustive cross examination of
her husband, W. Gould Brokaw, de-
clared at the opening of court today
their belief that they had established
Dy MI BrokaW'S own testimony two
grounds for a legal separation. The net
result Of Mr.. Brokaw's responses on
the witness stand. the plaintiffs law
yers claim, should lead the court to de-
clare that the espionage of servants
upon Mrs. Brokaw. tacitly admitted by
the witness. establishes the cruelty
charge and that abandonment was
shown by Mr.. Brokaw's legal action in
Paris and the statements he made in
letters to his wife and mother, Mrs
Blair.
An effort was made to get at some
facts concerning Brokaw's income.
DO you own yacht?'' he was asked.
No I don't" replied Brokaw.
How much is the yacht you do not
own worth?'' was another question.
About 100000" came the answer.
The witness could not recall if he
ever discussed a plan to avoid paying
alimony. He admitted that since the
proceedings began he had transferred
the Great Neck, L. l., property to
others"
.tT you draw a check now, where
would You go to get it cashed?"
Il would go where the money was,'
replied Brokaw.
That's what we are trying sto find
out: where is the money!"
There is not any just now" replied
the witness stubbornly
