CHARGE UNFOUNDED
MAYOR AND CITY MARSHAL FIND
NO EVIDENCE TO SHOW CITY PO-
LICE AIDING CARRANZISTAS.

Mayor A. B. Cole and Chief of Police
Ralph Tucker report that they have in
vestigated and found groundless the
charge by Mayor Barragan of Matamoros
that members of the Brownsville police
force are aiding the COnstitutionalists by
furnishing or delivering them arms and
ammunition. Several witnesses have
been examined who gave information
leading to the decision that those furnish
ing the information originally were mis-
taken.
1t is claimed the charges arose out OF
the fact that Chief Tucker, RaOui Garate.
Vicente Crixell and two newspapermen
visited the camp of the Constitutional
lists last Saturday. Although Mr.. Tuck
er had a belt full of ammunition for his
rifle. he left it i'm an automobile on this
side and carried no ammunition or arms
to the cOnstitutiOnalists' camp with him.
nor did any of the others Oh this trip
carry any ammunition. Messrs. Tucker
Garate and Crixell said they visited the
camp principally out of curiosity, while
the two newspapermen were there III con
nectiOn with their business.
However, rumors have been persistent
that the COnstitutiOnaliSts have been re-
ceiving ammunition and arms from the
American side of the river, and it is said
that many methods and schemes have
been used to cross this necessary of war.
as well as provisions and forage for the
COnstitutionalists since they have been
in camp at Rio Bravo.

uuest of Mr.. Bernatche's sister. wired
the fact that the man had been arrested

had been issued for the shooting OF Der
natchc but that for some reason the eN
ccution had been stayed Mr.. johnson
wired to Washington advising the French
ambassador to take the matter up with
Mexico CITY and as Bernatche was re

that this was done.
DIR. Barragan stated that the French
man Bernatche. who was released yes
terday from charge of conspiracy, had

them. Gonzales Cara who was arrested
at the same time will be released to
