Walsenburg.-With the mournful
| cnant of the Italian death song from
the lips of Frank Krupa ringing in his
ears, Major Townsend, provost mar
shall of the Huerfano county military
district, listened for hours to the
story of the killing at La Veta, when
four mine guards were shot from am
bush as they were taking non-union
miner to the Oakview camp.
Under the rigid questioning Of
Townsend. Krupa had broken a stoi-
cal silence. by falling on his knees.
and in a flood of broken English
pouring out details of the killing.
From that time until the last con-
fession came from one of the Rich
ards brothers. Krupa's incessant
chant beat into the consciousness of
the men who had shot from behind
the embankment, and when it was
over every one of the five who con-
| fessed that they were responsible for
the shooting were begging for mercy.
Dan. Ed and Charles Richards,
brothers; Frank Krupa and John De-
john confessed to the shooting. and
they implicated Charles Shepherd.
The story of the men is that as soon
as Bill Gamblin, the non-union miner,
who was held by them. telephoned for
the guards they started for their ri
fles. After securing them they went
to the embankment of the Loughhead
reservoir
when the first shot struck, three
of the men got out of the motor"
said the brothers "The chauffeur
looked like he was dead. The shoot
ing was a continuous roar and it was
hard to tell just how they all fell.
They fired back some."
Walsenburg-It is stated by Robert
NJ. Roll, national organizer for the
United Mine Workers of America,
that If the seven striking miners who
have confessed to military authorities
that they were responsible for the
deaths of four mine guards at La
Veta, do not withdraw their plea Of
guilty before the civil court, they will
be abandoned to their fate by the
Mine Workers Union. On the other
hand. he declares. IL they plead not
guilty when given advice by counsel
they will be backed with money and
able lawyers.
