 Miss Barton was the family teacher of the three small Greenlaw children and lived in their home. At first she declined to discuss the murder. say ing Mrs. Greenlaw had told the full story to the American embassy at Mexico City and preferred letting the state department make public any information desirable Mrs. Green law still is in Mexico City settling up affairs of her husbands estate, but will leave for the United States short ly.
 Oh, it all seems so dreadful" Miss Barton said nervously. "Mr. Green law was preparing to retire from business. He had been in Mexico four teen years engaged in the logging business. l suppose he had never thought of an accident to himself.

Tell Details of
 the Murder of
 American Trio

San Antonio, Tex, May i9.-Meager details of the killing of Eben Green law and his son, Ralph, on May l by Mexican bandits at Palizado, near Mexico City. were brought here today by Missr Minnie Barton, an intimate friend of the Greenlaw family. The only facts of which she was certain was that the two Americans were mur- dered by from three to dozen ban dits who escaped with the pay roll they were carrying to a saw mill near Palizado
 Weary and nervous from the strain of tragedy. Miss Barton. accompanied by her mother, Mrs. E. II. Barton, and few friends from California arrived here early today on her way to her home in Los Angeles. The party left Mexico City Friday at which time the city was practically normal, Miss Barton said Not a shot was fired when the national capital was taken over by liberal revolutionists on May 6, she added.
 Nobody seemed to know exactly how many men attacked MT. Green law and Ralph" Miss Barton said "The Mexicans accompanying them were so frightened they were unable to tell us definitely. The number va ried from three to twelve.
 "The only fact of which the family can be certain is that Eben Greenlaw and Ralph were taking payroll from Palizado, the principal saw mill, to a logging camp and while en route their logging train was stopped, the two men murdered and the money stolen This was Saturday morning, May 1.
 '"The state department the day af- ter the murder asked the Mexican
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1920-05-20

Every week he took the payroll to the upper camp. Why, l went with him just two weeks before the murder.
 "None of the Mexican employees could say whether MT. Greenlaw and Ralph had been able to defend them selves before they were killed. Two shots had been fired in Ralph's gun and one in Mr. Greenlaw's. But that meant nothing for it was quite likely they had been fired before the trip But they were not tortured We had that much to be thankful for"
 Concerning the new regime in Mex ico, Miss Barton said:
 "Obregon seems friendly to Ameri- cans. We were in Mexico City when he entered There wasn't a shot fired We were told that he would occupy
