William J. Burns in the Department
OF Justice. Is en- route TO Washington
in response to a subpoena from the
Wheeler committee investigating the
department.
Gershon was department agent at
the time of the Cantu revolutionary
attempt in Lower California in 1921.
Oct. %, 1921. at midnight, Gershon
seized within half mile Of the Mexi-
can border. at.Nestor. Cal, three truck
loads OF arms and ammunition, includ.
ing Winchester rifles, soft.nosed bull
let's and cartridge packs.
Arrests Three Men
He arrested Jack F1ahive and his
two sons. who were driving lhe
trucks. The arrested men were placed
In the county Jail here. On Oct %
he had the three men released and
turned the seized munitions over to
them
1t Is declared Gershon directed the
release Of the men and munitions after
receiving a direct order from Wash
ington to do so.
Immediately the recruiting OF men
in San Diego for a Cantu revolution
became open. On Gershon's reporting
this fact to Washington 1t is said
he was told to take no action with
out specific Distractions from the
Justice Department.
On the night of Nov. rs. 1921,
there was an engagement just across
the border near Tia Juana. The reb-
els were defeated by the Mexican
federals and many were killed.
Use COnflscated Guns
1t is alleged not only were the reb-
els men who had been recruited on
American soil. but that they used the
very arms and ammunition which
Gershon had seized and been ordered
to release.
Following the battle the rebel fugi-
tives. some of them wounded. re-
crossed the line and were taken into
custody by United States immigration
officers. Statements made by them
were forwarded to Washington.

would be comparatively simple to

them for fraudulent use Of Govern
