According to the embassy’s advices, Villareal Zarate was put in jail after a fight with an American and) then was taken out and lynched, the auth- orities afterwards refusing a request vf the Mexican consul that an investt+ gation be made. In its representa tiong the Mexican embassy ts under stood to charge tolerance or complie- ty on the part of the authoritiss of Weslaco pointing out that in the last few months several Mexicans have been killed in Texas with “responsti- wility or complicity of the authori- tes.” Finally the embaryy asks guar- antees for the safety not only of the consular officers but of other Mext- cans in Texas.
