Letter TELLS
!. Of ATROCITIES
OF MEXICANS
Refugees Reaching San Diego
Relate Tales of Robbery
and 0utrageS

The wife of local army officer has
received a letter from her sister, also
the wife of an army officer stationed
at San Diego, which tells of the ar
rival at that port of little band of
refugees from Mexico, who relate tales
of robbery and outrages almost too
terrible to believe.
The letter in part reads:
This morning (May 81 four Amer
lean refugees from Gaudalajara
reached the post. They told the most
blood-curdling tales about their ex.
periences in getting away, not the
least of which was the fact that they
were robbed by Mexicans before pro-
ceeding very far on their journey.
Probably the most heart-rending
of their stories was that relating to
fourteen month old baby that was
beaten into insensibility by Mexicans
"One of the men was seized and
only the Intervention Of the Germans
saved him. 1t was the Mexican White
Cross people who burned the flag
according to tales brought here.
One of the refugees will be sent or
to Washington to relate his expert
ences before the members of Con
greSs
This party made its escape in g

man captain. Their stories have got

Sustaining the decision of the low

was taken to the supreme court. The
defense claimed that numerous errors
were committed during the course of
the proceedings in the circuit court
which resulted in the conviction OF
Kealoha. s =
What was probably the most iMpQr-

request Of the prosecution was the
following: ''R you believe from the

No objection was made or exception
taken by the defendant to the giving
of that instruction, and under 1t, as
already pointed out, the evidence was
sufficient to warrant the jury in find
ing the defendant guilty. m
