check for $1,000 given him by W. A.
Roxby as q ransom. Roxby, an Amer
fanch, was held up by Castillo a week or
more ago. He is now in El paso, where
the bank has been instructed not TO
honor the check.
The troopers and their prisoners
camped Tuesday night at Las Cieneses
fifteen miles south OF here The trip
was over the roughest roads and requir ed
five hours.
Castillo was not laxative. He looked
at his inquisitors out OF bloodshot eyes,
but vehemently asserted his innocence of
completely in the Cumbre tragedy. He
said he was a socialist and was conduct
ing a separate revolution in order to at
tain that form of government for Mexico.
y report was received mere early Today
that a detachment of Mexican rebel
troops had met the remnant OF Castillo 5

of them prisoners.
So far no application has been made
to the State Department from either the
federal or constitutional side for the sur

Cumbre tunnel massacre. 1t was said
at the War Department today that Cas-
