Still weak from injuries he bad re

to San Diego, of thr frustrated attempt
to lecture there, of the wild automobile
ride into the desert and how he was
"tortured" bi San Diego ■ diz.cn'
At 10:30 o'clock the hotel manager i
came to our rooms, accompanied by one !
of the vigilantes." he said,
" 'The chief of police wants to see I
you.' he said, and I was taken down to
his private office. Six men stood ,
around the walls with drawn revolvers. I
They linked arms with me and hustled ]
me out to a waiting automobile An- I
other machine met us, making an en
tire party of fourteen men, who told I
me that they were representative law-j
yers, doctors, real estate and business]
men of San Diego.
Tortured on the Road.

mobile searchlights illuminated what !
happened after that. Eirst my cloth- !
ing was torn off Then they commit
ted upon me fiendish, gross, barbaric
acts, the drtails of which are untit to
tell.
"Screaming with pain, I begged them
to kill me. 'No,' they replied. They !
wanted mo to go away and tell of how |
they received advocates of my ideas
in San Diego.
"They ordered me to sing 'The Star
Spanghd Banner. The order was en
forced w ith blows I can not sing very '
well, and at every false note 1 ut- |

Wer» Worse Than Indians, He Says.
"One of the principal tormentors, who
1 am sure is a San Diego detective,
placed his face close against mine and
screamed, 'We're usually just ordinary
business men, doctor- and lawyers, but
tonight we re thugs '
"I stood naked in a yellow circle of
white men who advanced in pair.-,
their eyes glittering in the searchlights
to inflict pain. I have read of In
dians; even they could not devise more
ingenious means of producing suffering
than those fount en American-. They
vied witli each other in conceiving the
most diabolical torture Being of a
strong physique. I withstood their ut
most efforts.
“One askyd im if J bejie\ed in God.

fourteen stepped forward and pro

Burned With Lighted Cigar.
"Their tinal scheme, before the burn
ing. was running the gauntlet. I ran
through a double row of men. each
beating me with a club as I passed.
They got that from the Indian.
"Then, while six held me on the
ground, another slowly traced figures
on my back with a lighted cigar, sear
ing the flesh horribly. Their one cry
was. 'We're \m< clean . and we'll teach
you to keep awaV from San Diego!' I
was smeared with tilth, and then thf
American flag was thrust into my
throat until 1 strangled.
"After enduring two hours of torture,
the boiling tar was applied and desert
grasses and cactus stuck th It. Then 1
