Morrow, was under ai rest today. He was captured in the town of Chalco and sent to Mexico City for trial in compliance with the new ruling against summary execu- tions of insurgents.

Vigueras told newspapermen that on learning that President Portes Gil had promised a fair trial for everyone, including insurgents, one e of which he styles himself, he de- cided to surrender. He was en route to Ayotzingo to arrange for a pri- vate meeting Wwith the governor of the state to negotiate terms of sur render when one of his own rela- tives, a lieutenant in the home guard troops at Chalco, captured him. Four companions succeeded in escaping. Vigueras added that he had been an insurgent since 1910, fighting against all governments, but that he admired Portes Gil and wished | to return to a peaceful life. Letters Found Police announced that letters on the stationery of the League for De- fense of Religious Liberty were found in Vigueras' pockets and that these instructed him as to the man- ner in which lie was to carry on his campaign against the gover ment. The ers were signed “Chief of the special committee di ing the army of liberation.” The first attempt to capture Am bassador Morrow with which Vigue- was credited occurred about five months ago on the highway he- tween Mexico City and Puebla when the ambassador was return- ing from Puebla.
