Accused Californians to Plead in Federal Case Monday
Seven men indicted February 19 in a conspiracy to send armed forces into Lower California are set to plead on Monday in the Federal District Court. Named are Harry Chandler, Walter Bowker, Baltazar Aviles, B J Viljoen, Charles Guaman, Geronimo Sandoval, and Francisco Ayon. The charges allege plans to recruit, arm, and transport soldiers into Mexican territory and outline payments and meetings in San Diego, Los Angeles, and other sites. Chandler, tied to land holdings on both sides of the border, denies discussing the matters and says he has violated no neutrality laws. The case ties into broader Carranza-adherent concerns of a wider U.S. citizen conspiracy.
