Boalt VERA CRUZ, Mexico, July 12.—I heard from that “ley de fuga” story, sure enough, and in the way I had anticipated. Tho first hint I had that I ‘in bad” with General Funston came jast Monday, when a note was delivered to me from Captain Burnside, formerly military attache to the American embasay in Mexico City, The note sald that General Funsten wished to speak with me for a few minutes at headquarters. General Funston’s first words. were: been dipping your pen in vermiliion ink, the “ley de fuga” story under my eyes. “Did you write that?” he asked. “Your name is over It.” “| wrote it,” | said. “I am instructed by the war department,” General Funston went on, “to tell you that you must either prove the allegations in this story or be deported by the next transport.” I asked when the next transport would sail and he sald Wednesday. “Less than 48 hours {s not much time,” I objected. “I am sorry,” the general replied, “but I am given no option tn the department's instructions are very explicit. You must or go day after tomorro' “General Funston,” I said, “I got that story from the officer him- self, Ensign if He cut me short. “Mr. Boalt, you seem to have and he flashed a clipping of do not wish to know his name,” he said quickly. oeeee Later In the day | handed the general a statement in writing, In which | set forth how | came to get the de fuga” story and my mo- tive in writing It.

A cable of mine to the states, explaining my threatened deporta- tion, was held up over night, but finally got through. On Tuesday t again saw Funston, and he told me “to forget about sailing on the next transport.” He he had referred the matter to Admiral Fletcher for investigation, Ensign Richardson being a naval man. | HAD A TALK WITH THE GENERAL, WHO GAID: “MY PER- SONAL IMPRESSION 18 THAT THE OFFICER YOU TALKED WITH 18 A FOOLISH YOUNG CUB WHO, TO USE THE VERNACULAR, ‘TALKED THROUGH HIS HAT’ TO GET IN THE LIMELIGHT.” eevee Shortly afterward Captain Burnside waylaid me in the corridor leading to the general's office and led me into a room for an “unoffical” talk He sald: going t murder.” I thought he was trying to frighten me, so I laughed, Then Burnside said, somewhat irrelevantly: “Perhaps you didn't know it, but RICHARDSON HAD A SUNSTROKE the first day of the fighting.” I did not ask Burnside why he told me this, but I inferred that he meant to give me the impression that Richardson may have been a trifle out of his head as a result of the sunstroke, when he told me the “ley de fuga” story. I quoted both Funston and Burnside tn my testimony before the naval court of inquiry that followed. Funston having “passed the buck” to the navy, I received a polite note from Colonel Alvord, Funston's chief of staff, saying that Rear Ad- miral Badger, commander-in-chief of the Atlantic fleet, had requested him to inform me that he (the admiral) desired my presence as a wit- ness in the case of Ensign Richardson, and adding that a launch would be waiting for me at 9:30 the next morning at the Sanidad pier to take me to the ship. I also received a letter from Admiral Badger explaining that the hearing would be held on the “Texas,” beginning at 10 a. m. next day, The letter of the admiral was as politely couched as was that of the chief of staff, and requested my presence at the hearing. When | finally did present myself on board t! “Texa 1 ow promptly served with a note from the president of the United Sta (call it a subpoena, if you like), not at all politely couched, though in legal form, and mentioning pains and penalties for failure to obey.
