Deserter Who Led Filipinos Killed by Native Scouts
Manila reports reveal David Fagin, a deserter from the 24th infantry, was killed by Bengabon native scouts who decapitated him and identified his head. A military commission sentenced General Isidoro Torres to hang for ordering an assassination, but General Chaffee disapproved the sentence, citing doubts over whether Torres ordered the act and noting his high rank might have prevented such action. Patterson, English secretary to Sixto Lopez, remains under Supreme Court review as authorities challenge jurisdiction and possible repatriation efforts.
