clared he had been assured i'm tele-
grams from President Gales and the
Mexican secretary of state that Tor

delivered.
Senator King asked the witness if
he had not had his three thousand
acres OF land IN Mexico seized by the
Mexican government and III this land
had not been returned TO him after
he had delivered Torres TO the bor-
der
Hanson heatedly denied this and
declared his land had not yet been

You held conferences with secret
spies Of Gales before you drove
Torres 70 his death?" asked Senator
King.

low the order of the department.
