Dixon was released to MIR. Berkshire
and brought TO El paso to hospital,
whore his physicians believe he will re-
cover
Mr. Berkshire said tonight he made
no demands on the Mexican officials but
had reported the facts to his superiors
concerning the arrest of himself and In
spcctor Clarence Galley, when they went
TO Juarez Saturday following the shoot
ing Of Dixon Mr.. Berkshire said that
from what he had been able to learn,
the negro Walker, when he heard that
Dixon was In Juarez investigating a
white slave act In which Walker had
been implicated, Informed the Mexican
authorities that Dixon was there with
bottle of choroform ready to chloroform
and kidnap him. 1t Is said the negro
then bought drinks for the soldiers who
were to make the arrest.
When the Mexican soldiers had appre-
hcndcd Dixon, they marched him TO the
suburbs of the city instead Of the military
barracks or city hall. This according
to Dlxon's statement, reiterated tonight,
gave rise to the suspicion that ne was

AS matter of representation, he
declared. he took to flight and became
the target of many bullets only one
of which took effect. striking him In
the back and penetrating his body. An
other bullet struck his shoe, but did
not wound him.
Wounded he was taken to the
Juarcz hospital by his captors and
there under a military guard of three
soldiers. he was kept from Saturday

cd to ~ Paso. The Mcxicans refused
even to allow tn blood soaked cloth

permit DR.. Japan of the immigration
office to cut the clothing and treat
the wounds Saturday afternoon. In
