SLAIN VERGARA
INCIDENT CLOSED
American RanChman's Murder
Not International issue
THE MYSTERY is CLEARED UP
Satisfactory Official Reports Over At
fair Have Been Made at Wash
inston BY the Govern
ment Representatives.

Washington, d. C.-No conflict will
arise over the recovery of the body
Of Vergara, the murdered American
ranchman. Further steps demanding
the punishment of Vergaras assassins
will be taken. Comprehensive re-
ports from Major-General Bliss at Ell
Paso, and from American Consul Gar
rett at Laredo, received at the War
and State departments, cleared up the
mystery which had surrounded the
delivery on American soil of the
body of the horse trader, vergara.
The reports completely satisfied the
officials that no act had been commit
ted By National or State agents in
violation oil Mexican sovereignty, and
that if there was any offense in the
removal OF the body from Mexico it
was committed by individuals, SO the
matter could not be made an interna-
tional issue. Secretary Bryan stated
that Ee would not undertake to pros
ecute the persons who obtained the
body, even If he knew their identity.
