Cuban Mechanic Describes Scene
At Execution off Batista Followers
Editor's Note: Lull dc Cabo
Garcia, 25, a mechanic for Auto
buses Modelo A Santiago, a bus
company in the Cuban provincial
capital of Santiago in eastern
Cuba, was one of the few civilians
who witnessed the mass execution
Monday o'f Jl "war criminals" by
Fidel Castro men. His account, ob
tained by UPI Correspondent Char
les Schuman, follows.
By LUIS DE CABO GARCIA
Written for UPI
Santiago De Cuba-dTD-The
firing squad rang out all
morning and I heard an offi
cer say, "Let's get this over
with quick; I have a pain in
my soul."
I felt the same way. I knew
these men were murderers
and deserved to be shot, but I
couldn't help shuddering and
identifying myself with them
as every volley sounded.
It began for me early Mon
day morning when I was in
the garage working on a mo
tor. Army headquarters tele
phoned to send a bus to La
Carcel de Boniato prison.
There was no bus driver
around so I went myself.
At La Carcel, 12 of the
convicted ones, their hands
tied in front of them with
rope, were waiting. Six July
26th rebel guards were with
them.
Climb Into Bus
They climbed into the bus,
and I was told to go to the
city jail where I picked up 11
more prisoners. Then one
guard told me to drive to El
Campo de Tiro, a firing range
near San Juan Hill.
I knew what was up. It was
common talk in town during
the past few days that there
would be executions.
Dawn was beginning to
break as we arrived at the
range. A volley of shots broke
out as we stopped, and my
passengers, who had been
chatting en route, suddenly
became silent.
They were ordered to de
bark and they got off, awk
wardly, their bound hands
somewhat of a hindrance
They broke up into little

groups of three, four and five.
There were two buses and
an army truck parked to one
side when I got there. Mine
was the last load. Later, I
learned that shootings had be
gun at 4 a.m. When I got
there it was about 5:30 and
one of the July 26th officers
told me 22 had already been
shot.
Some Prisoners Crying
I looked at the clusters of
prisoners. Some were crying;
.some chatting; some nervous
ly shifting their feet; some si
lent. An army officer beckoned,
and two prisoners advanced
to a large trench at the end of
the range. They stood in front
of the trench as the firing
squad got ready. An officer
gave the word and six shots
rang out.
The two bodies fell back in
to the grave, and a lieutenant
peered in, pistol in hand,
ready to give the coup de
grace, if necessary.
I didn't feel well.
Two more prisoners moved
up to their grave. Again, six
shots rang out and their bod
ies toppled back. Then two
more and two more.
About 10 to 15 minutes sep
arated each execution. A
priest accompanied each pair

Dies Like Hero
I saw one man, Lt. Despaig-
ne, chief of army prowl cars
in Santiago and a well-known
murderer, go to his death
like a hero. He was convicted
of having killed 31 persons
and I'm sure he killed many
more. Everyone in Santiago
hated and feared him.
He was a regular army
man. He asked permission to
direct his own execution and
it was granted. He was the
only man who went alone; all
the others were in pairs.
He marched to the grave,
faced the firing squad, called
Ike Urged To Air
Trip Possibility
Washington -(UPD- Sen.
Estes Kefauver suggests that
President Eisenhower talk to
Soviet Deputy Premier Anas
tas I. Mikoyan about a visit
to Russia by Vice President
Richard M. Nixon or former
President Harry Truman.
The Tennessee Democrat
made his suggestion in a let
ter to the President. Kefauv
er said he understood Nixon
and Mikoyan had some dis
cussion about a return visit
and urged the President to
pursue the subject when he
meets the Soviet official on
Saturday. He added that "I
think that such a visit by for
mer President Truman would
be very helpful."
HURRIED EXIT
Mathiston, Miss. -(UPD-Of-
