INTERVIEW: Senor Santos Cabrerra Page 10 SC: will return to the capitol. The soldier then said, the party returned to Nexico City with the money, but they still killed Carranza. How could they let the country to be robbed and remain with nothing. Yes, it was his own son-in-law who killed him. And then they returned to the capitol the next day with all the money and the body. Yes, it was his own---it was his own son-in-law. He was a real clever fellow. He also killed another revolutionary who was in the south, Emilio Zapata. He also killed him. Now this is what they tell us and we read in the newspaper. That man who had been a soldier told me about this. His name, the soldier, was Bustillos. He told me, this is the way it happened. Carranza's own son-in-law killed Carranza. They all returned to the capitol----returned all the money, even the chairs, and everything was left right. But only those who were in the revolution as officers, as generals, can give a good account of what happened, or the soldiers who lived, or are living. But we only knew what they told us. One who cannot see or was not there, can't really speak of what happened. Where is Jose Medel? VM: He still lives in Woods Cross . . SC: I thought you said he lived in Salt Lake. I also knew him before he got married . He was really a strong man-- --really strong. VM : Mr. Cabrerra, when you lived here earlier, what things did you do for recreation diversion---dances, tell me, what did you do?
