During this time she and other nuns have worn worldly ‘dress only. Following the tack taken by pre- vious reports from the department of justice, Attorney General Nieto sought to convey the impression that Manuel Trejo, said to be a) member of the Mexican- Federation of Labor, is likewise involved in the lot. % “I believe that Trejo is the key to the mystery,” he declared. y The ashes of William D.
