O f Killing American
Huntington Park, Cal., March 16.
— Investigation o f the death at Tia
Juana o f Carl F. Reynolds, promin
ent resident o f Huntington Park,
was demanded today by lcoal au
thorities.
Chief o f Police Williams, in a tel
ephone conversation with San Diego
police, ordered an immediate Inves
tigation o f Reynold’s death, main
taining it was the result o f mis
treatment at the hands o f the Mex
ican police following his arrest on
an intoxication charge.
Police at the Mexican border re
sort claim he died from “ acute al
coholism” according to advices here.
“ That is unbelievable,” said the lo
cal police chief. “ Reynolds was not
that kind o f a man.”
“ I want an immediate examination
made to determine if he had been
beaten up. I consider the facts war
rant the most careful investigation,”
Ch.ef Williams declared he would
appeal to authorities in Washington
also.
An autopsy was to be conducted
in Tia Juana today.
The chief witness will be Joe
Brown who accompanied Reynolds
from here to the border.
Another witness will be the vic
tim's wife who accompanied the par
ty to Tijuana.
Reynold’s death is the third tragic
scandal at the border involving
Americans.
Four Mexicans, including Zenaido
Llanos, former police chief o f Ti
juana, are held on charges o f as
sault on Clyde and Audrey Peteet,
young American girls, who, with
their parents, committed suicide a f
ter an “ orgy of shame” at the border
village.
The death o f T. M. N. George,
wealthy Atlanta, Georgia, cotton
broker, after his arrest fo r alleged
drunkenness, is still a subject of in
vestigation by American authorities.
United States naval authorities
also have under investigation the
detention in the Tijuana bastile of
Eimo K. Gordon, chief petty officer.
He has been held for months, al
legedly on trumped up charges of
the Mexican police.— Journal.
