not only the clothing of my father
but the proof that Herrero received
instructions to proceed as he had
done, committing the dreadful crime

FEARS OTHER DEATHS.
Miss Carranza further asserts con-
Y "A q
now detained: ~ make known to the
world that the group OF faithful who
are imprisoned at Santiago Tlalt-
telolco are In danger of losing their
lives. as such was expressed 10 them
by del la Huerta, due to the fact
that there Ia not authority nor proper
responsibility for the protection OF
civil rights, as the military authori-
ties proceed as they please. De la
Huerta has no power and when he
orders there is no one who will obey.
II will not be long until the pris-
oners, especially Murguia. whom they
fear greatly because of his military
prestige. will be found dead. and the
false version that they attempted to
escape or committed suicide will be
given out to explain their deaths.
"If some OF them escape with life
there will be some judge who will
declare them responsible for the
death Of others, and II there be no
other charge, for not having been
killed with the others.

posed by General Obregon on the sur
vvors Of the assault which cost my
father his life.

Now that in my country, due to
the fear that exists. there is no one

upon the body OF my father, protest
against this dreadful outrage. Not

they now profane him after death"
Until Acting Secretary Davis has
read the document no official of the
State Department would say just
what the Department would do with
the daughters protest. Unoficially
II was said and the statement was
merely a protest" and offered moth
ing in the way of tangible proof to
disprove the findings previously an
nounced as to the conditions under
which Carranza met his death.
Some officials said in their opinion
it would not affect the present nego-
tiations now in progress with Senior
Calderon. The State Department win
