DENIES MEXICAN CLAIM ABOUT KILLING OF WALLACE Washington, Dec. 82.—Claims of the Mexican government, as recently pre- sented to the American embassy in Mexico City, that the killing near Tampico late in November of James Wallace, an American citizen, result- ed from his failure to heed the warn- ing of a Mexican sentry, are denied in an account of the accident which reached Washington today from Agui- ]1 ocmpany, of which Wallace was an lace, while mmxxcafed pasfl)d stationed at what was char- mmmi as A “dangerous spot,” and failing to halt, was shot and killed. The Aguila Company’s report, which was presented at a meeting in Tam- pico of oil company managérs and which is the first detailed account of the American’s death to reach Wash- greter difficulties in application to cer- ] gton, says: ervoirs at Potrero Del Llano was rid- ing from the office down to the tank farm. a distance of abdut 250 meters. On the road was an outpost of .four government soldiers with a machine far as we hate been able to allace’s horse reared while n" this outvost, and kicked the machine gun, whereupon one of the soldiers shot Wallace, killing him in- stantly. None of our men actually saw what happened. = Some of them had been talking to Wallace a minute or two before, and hearing the shot they ran o of the office and found Wal- lace lying on the ground dead. “The soldiers gave the explanation that Wallace insisted on -passing be- tween the machine gun and a sentry, that his horse refused to go forward for which reason one of the soldiers beat it several times with the butt of is rifle, and that Wallace then threw his horse over on the soldier nearly, upsetting the machine gun. They also claim Wallace hit the soldier with an axe handle he was carrving and furth- ermore make the statement that Wal- lace was intovicated. = These state- ments are not substantiated by facts. Apart from the circumstances that we have never known Wallace to be intoxicated during the ten months he was employed by us, and that it is in : the axe g down any case yery uniikely a man would morning, we know positively that Wal- lack of information for this statement to the tank form was found be unled the influence of liquor when lace was absolutely sober as several of our meén were talking with him>a few minutes zefore he was Kkilled. “As regards Wallace having assault- is proved by the fact that strapped to the saddle when the horse going to his work at 8 o'elock in the ed the soldier with an_axe handle, the handle which he was cc Wallace had been riding was brought back to corral. Furthermore, it is extremely unlikely, to say the least, that a man armed with only a stick shouid attack four soldiers with rifles and a machine gun. Another circum- stance which proves the soldier who killed Wallace did not act in self-de- fense is that the nature of the wound, according to medical evidence, shows heyond any possibility of doubt MRS.
