Mexican Slayers of
American Shot With
Curses on Their Lips
Special to the Telegraph

FL Paso. Texas, Jan. 24.-With a
curse upon their lips against the Am
erican people, two young Mexican
brothers We're shot to death by a Car
rama firing squad in the Juarez ceme-
terry for the murder On Friday after
noon of Bert l.. Akers, an American
rancher of Ysleta, Texas. Bernardo
and Federico Duran, the executed
men, went to their death standing
shoulder to shoulder against the
whitewashed adobe wall of the ceme-
terry. They faced the firing squad
with undaunted bravery, refused to
be blindfolded and fell together at the
first volley.
Almost their last words was this
challenge, flung at the small group of
American newspapermen and friends
of the murdered Akers: Watch and
see how MeMcans die, you Americans
--. We are dying for you Amer
leans. Tell the world that / shot the
American because he was trying TO
force entrance TO my home. | was
defending my rights as any man would
have done. My brother here is en-
tirely innocent. He did not fire shot
but they are going to kill him, too"
Younger Brother Silent
While the elder talked the younger
brother stood beside him, hands pock-
eted and lips quivering slightly, but
saying nothing. The prisoners were
bound together by ropes.
The brothers spoke softly to each
other as they turned and embraced
just before the command was given.
Ready" said the captain. Take
aim"
Church bells in the ancient Cath
edral of Juarez began tolling for early
mass. The first bell chime had hardly
died away. Fire"
The brothers crumpled to the
ground. Bernardo's arm, even in his
death agony, lay across his brothers
breast, as though trying to protect
him. a groan came from the writhing
figure of the elder, and with his dy-
ing breath he said, clearly, "Oh, God,
wait a minute"
The captain of the firing squad drew
his revolver and advanced to the fall
len men. Quietly he sent a bullet into
the brain of each-the mercy shots.
