The testimony taken i'm court yes

seven months in 1913-1I as guests in

the plot felt the time for action had
arrived, The border trouble was
part OF the scheme. The white mouse
knows that certain American interests
for years offered sums TO border "bad
men to organize armies" OF Amer
irans and Mexicans and lead them in
to Mexico and then turn back against
the United States border, kill Ameri-
cans and destroy property and make
the Americans believe the Mexicans
were marching against this country
in the hope of forcing Intervention.

eamarks Of such a scheme.

money from certain American inter
