Indictment of Calles puzzles officials in Laredo Texas
The dispute over whether General Plutarco Elias Calles will be arrested as he travels through Laredo en route to Mexico next week continues. District Attorney John A. Valls delayed answering the state department threat to protect Calles with armed force. A sheriff’s warrant accuses Calles of conspiracy in the 1922 killings of Gen. Lucius Blanco and Col. Aurelio Martinez, bodies found handcuffed in the Rio Grande. The U S government warned it would use armed force to shield Calles unless he shows a diplomatic immunity certificate verified by the secretary of state, otherwise the law will run its course.
