"a AMERICANS
STILL HELD IN
SPANISH CAMP
CHASTITY Stories Of Brutal
Treatment at Hands of
Spaniards Are Told
FOUGHT IN IL BATTLES
Survivors say They Were Sent
to Front With Hands Tied
Behind Th cir Backs

LONDON. Nov. 26. - (By the AS
sociated Press.) Twenty Americans
who joined the Spanish foreign legion
last summer still remaini a Span
ish camp near Cueta, Morocco, suf-
fering from dysentary, septic sores
and vermin, according to stories told
todry by two of their comrades, mem
bers of the contingent of 13 Ameri-
cansa nd 43 British who arrived yes
terday after seven weeks of cam
paigning against the s.cors Oil sne
Melilla front.
These stories were told by c. w.
Brown, New York, and Charles Steph
enson, a native of New York, whose
home now is in Toronto. Those left
behind in the Spanish camp, tIey saiu
are destitute and their sufferings are
bound to become worse, with the
rainy season just beginning.
Tell of Cruel Treatment
Brown and Stephenson confirmed
carrier stories of hardships and cruel
treatment by Spanish officers. They
said they participated in II battles
between September II and Novem-
Der a. Both, having .ousnu with the
Canadian army, enlisted as British
subjects with As others. After three
days, during which they caught
snatches of sleep, they said they were
sent to the front, having been given
a loaf of bread and tin of cardines.
Their personal property had been
stolen.
OF their group, they said four had
been killed, and % wounded. Being
unable to understand Spanish COM
mands led them to much illtreatment,
they said. Once, they said, they
were beaten and sentenced to the
hard labor squad. Another time, they
were sent to the front with their
! arms tied behind their backs as pun
ishment for trying to obtain medi-
cine.
Eventually the Americans were re-
! leased, and they left the front No
| vember 4, arriving at .Ceuta four days
later, where they said they were well
| treated for the first time.
Hatred Still Shoulders
They described a scene at Ceuta
where Colonel Astray, himself won"
! eu, udTduSueu Tic Aihoi iCdhS an
Britishers, accusing them of coward
ice, and appealed to them to stand
| by their chief.
Twill you fight one more battle
and prove your pluck?" they quoted
! him as asking. They consented r.
/ this request, they said. but were ask
| ed to sign a document which would
have meant virtual re-enlistment
and consequently they refused.
Both declared there still was much
bad feeling against Americans among
the Spaniards, who were unable tc
| forget the Spanish-American war.

MAN An ] WIFE
SHOT TO DEATH
Mystery Surrounds Murder of
Gallup Couple, Salin
at Door of Home

GALLUP, n. NJ, Nov 26. - Off
GERS tonight were without any clue
that might lead TO clearing up the
mystery surrounding the shooting to
death of j. w. Blackwell, Jr., and
wife, on the front porch of their
home, which is supposed to have oc-
Cured about 10 O'clock Friday night.
Their bodies were found this morn
ing by Clarence L. INLAND, when he
called to the house to take Blackwell
to work, which he had been in the
habit of doing for some time, both
men being employees of the same coal
company.
Each body had bullet hole in the
breast, which evidently mad caused
instant death in both cases.
The indications are that the cou-
pie had just returned home after
spending the evening somewhere,
when they were shot, as the key to
the house was found clutched in
Blackwell's hand when his body was
found this morning. The door was
locked and there were no indications
that anything in the house had been
disturbed.
Several persons who lived in the
vicinity of the Blackwell home OF
were in that part of town, inform
the sheriff today that tney heard two
shots fired in rapid succession about
10 o'clock last night.
The couple had resided in Gallur
for about 10 years. They had nC
children.

NO CHANCE FOR
new TRAIN NOW
L. & N. District Passenger Agent
Comes Here and Tells Mayor
of Conditions

Richmond has no chance now
to secure an extra train between
this dity and territory to the
south of here.
General Passenger Agent, F.
ID. Bush, of Cincinnati, was here
Wednesday and went over the
matter thoroughly with Mayor
VIM. O'Neil who has been press
ing the matter with the l.. & n.
railroad company. Mr.. O'Neil
was very anxious to secure better
train service, through an extra
train, so that people living around
Berea, Or futher south, might be
enabled to come in to Richmond,
do their shopping and return
home the same evening. The l..
& A. schedule from Irvine this
way has done much to bring ma
ny shoppers to Richmond and
helps business a lot. Mayor
O'Neil felt that the same benefits
could be obtained from d local
train from the south daily, as the
fast passengertrains do not make
but two stops between Richmond
and London.
Mr.. Bush explained to the
Mayor and committee of citi-
zens that the management of the
road does not feel that present
business conditions would justify
such all expense as would be en-
tailed by the establishment of the
new train at this time He said
that the railroad did not feel that
the territory would furnish adc-
quate business. either commercial
or passenger. to pay its way now.
Mr.. Bush said that London has
been asking for another train To
Corbin, too, but that both re-
quests had to be refused.
