Washington, D. c.. March 10. - No
conflict will arise between the fed
eral government and the state Of Tex
as over the recovery Of the body Of
yergara, the murdered American
ranchman. Further steps demanding
the punishment of vergara's assassins
will be taken.
That was the status Of the case
after a cabinet meeting. The official
ly accepted view was that vergara
was lured across the border and mur-
dered and his body was subsequently
recovered by his own friends, who
crossed into Mexico as private indt-
viduals, and not as an armed expe-
dition.

when Mrs. Knight charged that he
had trailed her to the Piedmont hotel

her by throwing a bottle of carbolic
acid in her face.
