GALES PLAN
HINTS THREAT
Proposed Trip to Laredo
May Involve Pending
Prosecutions

MEXICO CITY, July 19.-(Pl-
Accounts published in Mexico City
today that General Plutarco Elias
Gales would leave here Saturday
by train for New York, passing
through Texas en- route, cause sur
prise in some circles where the
threat of John A. Walls, former dis
trict attorney at Laredo, Texas to
arrest him on a murder warrant
was remembered.
The Mexico City accounts today
said GHneral Gales would leave
New York on the lie de France July
26. to spend several months in
Europe during which time he will
rest and seek relief from disease
which has bothered him for some
time.
Previously it had been understood
he would 60 to Tampico and take
ship from there to New Orleans,
proceeding to New York by train
from that city.
Last Angst Walls, who is now a
Judge at Laredo, accused General
Gales and the late General Alvaro
Obregon Of cCInplicity in the aSsaS-
sination Of two Mexican army Off
GERS in Laredo in 1922. Walls said
that while General Obregon's as
sassination had removed the posi-
bility of arrestin CHIN, 'the prose
cution against Gales and his fell
low conspirators will remain pend
ing with the feryid hope that some
day they will be called upon to an
SWer for their enormous crimes at
the bar Of public justice in Webb
county"
Wallis statement was made as the
result of an exchange Of correspond
ence with the state department at
Washington growing out of the
threat of the Mexican government
to remove its consulate from Laredo
because of prejudiced handling of
cases in which they we're interested.
tIAVEDO, 4SA.Y July 1J.-tHl-
Saying he was district attorney at
the time he made the statement
that General Plutarco Elias Gales,
former president of Mexico, would
be arrested if he came to Webb
county, Judge John A Walls today
refused to comment on a reported
decision of the Mexican general to
visit NV York, passing through

it was made of cardboard. The

Portions Of the tower were buried
