Spanish refugees who arrived here today

Mont Juich fortress in Barcelona, deny

until yesterday.
They say that the authorities at B'r.
celona have been executing prisoners
since August l, and that fully $50 have
been shot in the lsst two weeks.
The firing squads frequently killed as
many as four groups of prisoners a day,
according to the refugees. The exeou-
lions are now decreasing merely because
most of the prisoners have either been
killed or released. Ia many cases, the
refugees say, the prisoners were terribly
tortured iu an effort to get information
concerning some Of the suspected
leaders,
