screen for an unfair campaign. Juan
Bautista Sacasa, Nicaraguan Liberal

country, searched government build

met TO leave Cabezas. the legal seat
Of the government, - Sacasa said.
The statement said the American
state department had lowered its
dignity and prestige by repeated
calumny to Justify in the presence
of the American people its biased
attitude on the problems Of Nicara-

The expose of alleged Mexican
Sovietism, the protest said, was
merely to predisposc public opinion

with a shotgun. I used the axe ON
some of the others, but I choked the
little ones as their time came and
threw them i'll n corner.
That was the statement made to-
day by George Hassel, -, Texas
ranchcr, in relating the brutal mur-
der of his wife and eight children
which has reused this community t.
high state of Indignation.
The bodies Of the wife and eight
children We're found buried in Il cell
lar near here the day before Christ
mas. Hassel confessed to the slaV-
ing Christmas day but the first de-
tails were not made public by offic-
ials until today.
The wholesale killing. Officers
said. occurred between and ) n. N.
two weeks ago. Hasscl told Officers
he did not complete the job of bar
ial before DAYLIGHT.
The following dav. he said. was
spent in washing bloodStains from
the house and packing the children 5
clothing in trunks.
All the statements Regarding the
slaYings have been made by HaSScl
in brutally blunt remarks. He is

weighing $50 pounds. NcighborS
say he was always irritable and i'm

It is reported that authorities are

probable motive.

ing tide of resentment grew to such
proportions that District Attorney

The bodies of the mother and her
eight children, ranging from to
81 years old. were buried in a pit
