Deciderio and his brother Guadalupe was having trouble with Claudio after gambling and drinking. Deciderio was killed about 3:30 o'clock at night (and brother, Guadalupe) in a Mexican camp about 16 miles west of Crowell, Texas. There was about 100 Mexicans in this camp. We caught Claudio about one hour latter and put him in jail. We put him and Braulio Lopez, Andrew Quiroz, Jeronimae Jalavis, Taislo Jalavis and Juan Garcia. Claudio was tried and convicted of the murder of Deciderio Losano and sentenced to serve seven years in the state penitentiary. Deciderio Losano was shot once in the left hip and the bullet made a complete circuit around his body, he died three minutes later."
