In 1908 he took a : position with a Mexican oil company 1 and four years later, according to his story, was forced to take sides with one of the revolutionary parties then warring on the western slope. Captured, he said, he was thrown in a vermin-infested prison and later put to work in a salt mine. During that time he did not hear of the great war raging in Europe. Three months ago the opportunity to escape came, according to Kehoe. Hitting his guard over the head with a rock, he scaled the 800 foot shaft and made his way across the ; American boundary, from whence he came north by foot and blind bag- I gage.
