and thrust into a vermin infested
cell. There he was a prisoner Il
days.
On the march to the penitentiary
the soldiers, who completely sur
rounded Silliman and three other
American prisoners, came to fork
in the road. One way led to the
town cemetery, the other to the
penitentiary.
For what seemed like several min
utes to Mr.. Silliman and his fellow
unfortunates, the soldiers stopped to
receive the command which would
decide whether the march would end
at freshly opened graves or dungeon
like cells.
There were muttered expressions
of THANK God" from the Americans
when the column of soldiers in re-
sponse to a command from their Of
ficer, swung to the right and pro-
ceeded along the road that led to
prison.
For "a hours following his incar'
ceration the American consul wal
without food. For nearly two days
he was without a mattress to lie
upon.
Worn out and exhausted Silliman
finally threw himself upon the
stone floor Of his cell, convinced
after all his entreaties had fallen
upon deaf ears, that he was to be
shot as a spy with no one to inform
either his wife or the government al
Washington of his fate
Through the intercession Of the
British vice consul at Saltillo Sill
man at length was supplied with
pillow and mattress. Then nodescrip'
victuals were showed under his cell
door. Little by little his lot became
easier.
Toward the end of his confine-
ment he was permitted to roam In
the prison garden under guard. The
sunshine revived his spirits. He be-
gan to regain lost strength until
when eventually released. he was
able to make a nine days trip te
Mexico City, enduring hardships or
the way rivaling in some respects
those he suffered in prison.
At Mexico City the report OF hi
trial as a spy was passed upon b!
Huerta's representatives, and seem
ingly without formality SillimaI
was given permission to start TO
Vera Cruz.
