tences of ten negro soldiers who. par
ticipated in the riot at Houston, Tex,
August 90, 1917, have been COM
muted to life Imprisonment by Presi-

great cruelty murdered civilians.

war department, concludes the cases
of 29 negroes given the death penalty
for their part in the riot. Thirteen
were executed and the president was
called on to review the findings in six
teen cases.
The president found that the ten
whose sentences he commuted had,not
been convicted of personally and di-
rectly causing deaths. The soldiers
