 Americans and talked with him as though they were well acquainted The colonel then ordered his men to get ready to take up the march. was put on a horse land surrounded Iby the armed men. When the lorder to start was given was in the cen. ter of the troop. The men ;near me had their guns in their hands.
 Tt must have been about s:3o o. clock when we started. We went towards the San Jose mountains of Sonora and camped about four miles from Naco. Before daybreak in the morning the troop broke camp and was put into . wagon and was taken to San Pedro de Palominas. At San Pedro a camp was again made and a beef was killed I was kept closely under guard. The next morning was taken to the second station out of Cananea on the Cananea-N Npgales road and put on the train and taken to Nogales.
 ''On my arrival at Nogales, I was taken before a Mexican official who IT believe was a federal judge. He said that could see anyone I want ed to and was then put in the jail in q dark cell. l was held in this dark cell for four days and I have heard that the American consul at Nogales, who had heard of my Imprisonment came to see me as did others, but they were not tallowed to see me. The Mexican officials held me incor- mrcado after they told me that I could see anyone I wanted to.
 At the end of four days I was taken to Cananea and put in the jail there, but not in dark cell. For three days I was held incommuni- cado., When l was taken out of jail I was guarder by soldiers with rifles and fixed bayonets.
 "On the fourth day of my confin- ment al Cananea I was taken to the city hall and was told that l would be liberated on furnishing $500 bail Mexican money. Not knowing of the efforts being made by the United States government to secure my re lease from the Mexican jail I sent for friends to go my bail. One of the men furnished the bail, and at s:30 Saturday night I was taken out of the jail At eleven o'clock I was put on freight train bound for Naco. officers were with me. When we reached Naco I was escorted to the international line and turned loose. An American who was on the train when l was brought from Cananea was called to sign a paper that he had seen me cross the line into the United States from Mexico.
 During my confinement in the jail in Cananea I as questioned many times about my alleged smuggling and about business men in Cananea, for whom it was alleged that I did the smuggling. I stated repeatedly that I was innocent of smuggling and that I knew nothing about the bust ness men who they were asking about Another thing that l want to say and that is that no credit is due to the Mexican officials for releasing me on bond. At the time I was released, after putting up a bond, Uncle Sam had taken my matter in hand and rny release had been ordered, I believe by the governor of the state.
 As to the man who kidnapped me I knew them all and will proceed to make complaints against them before the American authorities charging Kidnapping. I intend to press the i case"
 Navarette stated that a short time before he was kidnapped an attempt was made to take him from his home by Mexican officers. He shid they came to his house on the American side Of the line and one of them told him that he was wanted at the tele- phone. Navarette says that he re- fused to leave the house and that he discovered that there were four men in hiding nearby ito grab him as soon as he started up town to an swer the reported phone call.
 While in town yesterday he con- suited with United States Commits sioner J. D. Taylor and the matter of filing the complaints against the men charged with the kidnapping will be taken up within a shore time prob.
