BODY OF TEXAN RECOVERED
Mystery of LAUREL'S Disappearance in November Explained
Laredo, Texas - The body of Porfirio LAUREL, an American ranchman who disappeared last November, was recovered Sunday from a grave near Nuevo Laredo, Mexico. LAUREL had been arrested by Mexican federals who persistently denied reports of his execution, and until the body was exhumed the mystery of the Texan's absence was unexplained.
Recovery of the ranchman's body was made possible by the evacuation of Nuevo Laredo by the federals. Officer commanding the constitutionalist force which now occupies the town interposed no objections to the investigations of relatives and friends which resulted in the location of the grave.
