Will Aguinaldo Face Death Penalty or Clemency
Washington reports that General MacArthur could order Aguinaldo tried by court martial and executed, but belief is the United States will not use the death penalty. Aguinaldo may be surveilled on Guam and could be brought to the United States, though this is considered unlikely. Dewey hoped Aguinaldo would flee and not be imprisoned or hanged, avoiding martyrdom. Funston may be next for promotion to brigadier general.
