Proof That Star ‘Story’ Was True By Gilson Gardner WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug, I4--New and startling evidence of the fact that Amertoams did apply the Mexican “ley do fuga,” or law of Might, at the ocoupation of Vera Crus, in accordance with the story Printed by Fred 1, Boalt, turned up today, Congresaman J, A. Palooner of Washington has reoetved letters And newspaper clippings from Illinots containing verbatim stories from satlors who were at the ifront in Vera Crus during the fighting and which were printed shortly after the occupation, DWTAILING INCI DENTS IN WHICH AMERICANS @HOT DOWN FLEEING MEXIOANS IN THE STREETS, AND EVEN SHOT NON-COMBATANTS, WOMEN AND CHILDREN IN TH HOUSHA ee ee Roy Ray Molton of 361 North Henderson at, Galesburg, Il, an enlisted man on board the battleship Utah, wrote home to his young Wife from Vora Crus Apri! 28, Just after the fighting was finished, and vho part of bis story confirms completely that the “ley de fuga” was applied by eome of the naval fore in Vera Cruz, WE WERE THERE FOR BPIKS (MEANING SPIGOTES, NIC | NAME FOR MEXICAN) THAT HAD HIDDEN. WE WOULD FIND) | THEM AND IF WE WANTED TO 6HOOT THEM WE WOULD. BUT, IF NOT, WE WOULD TAKE THEIR GUNS AWAY FROM THEM) AND START THEM DOWN THE GTREET ON THE RUN, THEN) WE WOULD WATCH FOR SOME ONE ELSE TO POP UP AND SEE) SOME OF THE OTHER BOYS 6HOOT THEM.” ee ee Thin story told by Melton fe almost an exact parallel of the story which Hoalt says Richardson told him. Another quotation from Mel ton's letter to his.wife throws an Interesting light on the fighting that took place. “We're always watching for @ head to pop up and see If we can plek th off, We were working our way to the postoffice to capture it and a ‘Spick’ came around the corner on a mule, The man next to me said, “You get the mule and | will get the man.’ 80 we counted t three and we let drive and down they came in a heap.” ee ee That noncombatants, women am! children, were slain {n the fight ing ts indicated by another letter which has come into Mr, Falconer’s hands printed In a Galesburg (Ill) paper on May 23 This letter was written by Clifford R. Westfall of Vietorta, IN, from Vera Cruz, dated May 5. Westfall is a second-class fireman on the battleship South Carolina and took part {n the enagement of April 2 His letter ts aidressed to “Dear Mother,” 1 in it he describes as follows how the naval forces picketed the streets following the fighting. “THREE OF US WOULD WALK ON ONE SIDE OF THE STREET AND WATCH THE OPPOSITE SIDE AND THE OTHER THREE ON THE OTHER SIDE, AND THE FIRST PERSON WE WOULD SEE STICK HIS HEAD OUT OF THE WINDOW, IT DIDN'T MATTER WHETHER IT WAS MAN, WOMAN OR CHILD, WE WOULD LET DRIVE AT HIM.” IT 19 remarkable that every one of those great natlo announces that it didn’t want to fight.
