NOTHING TO THEM
Rumors That Parra's Friends Would
Take Vengeance On Policeman
Harold..
In the Mexican Catholic churoh yes
terday Father Leon took occasion to
refer to the execution of Parra and to
the vast crowds which had thronged the
church to see the body of the dead
man when it was placed there before
burial.
The father took occasion to impress
upon his hearers that they should not
have come to look on the body merely
out of curiosity bat that they should
have considered deeply the crime for
which Parra had been legally killed
and ba careful in no way to lay them
selves liable in the same manner.
'Probably it was the kindly tone and
manner of the father toward Parra
and his crime that started the rumor
but in any event the rumor was quite
current that he bad declared thatParra
was innocent and that the testimony
of George Harold alone had falsely
convicted him. This added to the
lencthv article in Las Notloias the
local Mexican paper which gave In
detail Parra's declaration of his
Innocence created the impression of
deep resentment among the Mexican
population and a consequent rumor of
vengeance to be taken on Harold.
Mrs. Harold was much alarmed
Saturday night and was almost
prostrated besr? ing her husband to
6 tay in the house. He made his rounds
as usual however and nothing hap
pened.
