Officials Wonder if Report
Was Intended to Cover
Hartman's Flight.
Washington. t. C, Feb. 17. An In
quiry was today begun by Internal
revenue officials to determine whether
Guy- I Johnson, or Johnston, reported
clain by Chihuahua bandits was really
u Hartman, wealthy distiller who Is
a fugitive "from. Justice, and whether
the report of the' killing was bona fide
or whether It merely was planned to
over the flight of Hartman to another
place of refuge
Wednesday John Is, Casper, of Kansas
lt. who is serving sentence in the
Leavenworth federal prison for partici
pation in th moonshiner conspiracy,
telegraphed William IL Osborne, com
missioner of internal revenue, that
messages had come to him from Mexico,
irliinc of Hartman's death on Dec 25.

Washington, D C, Feb. 17 Evidence i
is being gathered by tho state depart- I
ment touching the killing of 18 Amer
ican citizens in western Chihuahua by I
which it will be determined whether
this government can hold the dc
facto government In Mexico liable in i
damage to tho families or heirs of the I
uaao. it will first have to be deter
mined whether Carranza was respon
sible under the rules governing the
movement of citizens of one country in
tho territory of another, government.
If this responsibility cannot be fixed,
then It la Improbable that a claim for
indemnity could bo sustained.
Arriilniltx Made.
Evidence being gathered by the state
department is m the shape of affida
vits and statements touching the move
ment of the party in Mexican territory,
the degree of protection guaranteed,
and Whpth.l tha AfA. nt n-nnnHnn If
, such was rrlvcn. can ha traced tn the
established government In Mexico. In
a general wnv It: 1 nnrlarstnnd thn
general
showing will be that the party entered i
luexico under promise by officials of
the Carranza government, and in one
or two Instances passports were held

les of passports said to have been is- '
sued by other Carranza military au- J
uiprmes are on file with the depart

It is further understood that the evi
dence tends to prove that the people
w-ere killed because they were Ameri
can citizens. One Moxican wai un
molested and another who succeeded
in showing that he was an Italian, was
allowed to go free.
Question of Indemnity
The books are full of precedents
touching the question of indemnity for
the death of the nationals of one
country In the territory of another
and there have been many cases ot
atrocious murders, seme of them aris
ing from, a. race hatred, but unless tho
crime can unmistakably be traced as
being an act of the government H is
generally agreed that nothing mora
than an Indemnity can be sustained, and
even that condition is said to rest up
on certain fixed rules in international
affairs.
McManus Cane.
The McManus case, in which this gov
ernment collected $20,000 from Villa,
does not furnish a fair Illustration of
the responsibilities resting upon a gov
ernment About the only fact estab
lished was that the soldiers of Zapata

him. Villa hardly questioned the show- Miss I. R. Gunn, fcaahier at the res
ing this irovernment made, but has- taurant. who went on the stand for
tened the payment of the cold with
the evident purpose of preserving his
standing with this government At the
time. It may be said. Villa expected
to be recognized as the de facto bead of
Mexico.
Discussion has not reached the stage
of determining what amount of in-J
demnity would bo. asked In event the
law u ls Bald that 'nnere n0 Ilxe1 Bum
ls contended for, the minimum of $3000
is allowed. Considering the Chihuahua
massacre in the light of the McManus
claim, it probably will be contended
that the claim shall not be for less
than was asked In the McManus case.
This being true, the government would
demand a total of $360,000.
Vnder no circumstances, it ls said,
will the claims be pressed until the
United States has an ambassador to
the de facto government of Mexico, and
this depends upon the length of time
the senate will consume in confirming
Henry P. Fletcher, whom the president
has nominated for that post There la
quite an accumulation of diplomatic;
matter to which the new ambassador
will fall heir, and it is said to embrace
about every phase of international ne
gotiations. There are a number of per

to be extradited for crimes alleged to
have been committed here.

Improper relations with Mrs. Lester, but

I 'phoned Mrs. Mackey and asked her

"Had Mr. Vance ever asked you how
you would feel towards a man who
would Interfere In your family?"
"Would Yon Kill n Mant"
"He asked me If I would kill a man
over a woman. I told him 'no," I didn't
think I would," replied the witness.
The witness then continued, stating
that tho boy joined him at the Caples
hotel about 6 oclock. He asked him to
go and have supper with him. he
stated, but the boy refused, saying
that his mother had told him to come
straight home. The witness stated that
he offered to walk home with him but
the boy seemed to prefer to go alone.
When they got within a block of the
apartments, he let the boy go on alone,

tinued, "and saw him boh out and
catch a car coming down Oregon street.
I caurht the same oar and on the wav

then told me they were sending him
to his grandmother. I aked him who
'they were, and he said. 'Mr. Vance
and mamma.' I asked him If he would
leave me, and he said he didn't want

The witness stated that his bov
