for Lifo.
Denver, Col., Jan. 1. Manila
lispatehes received at the headquarters
of the Colorado here
state that Hilary Placido, a Filipino,
who aided Gen. Fuaaton in
tho capture of Aguinaldo, has
been sentenced to life imprisonment
for murder. Details of the
crime arc lacking but Gen. Fun~
stem and other army officers who
knew tho scout beliovo that tho
crime was committed since they
left the island, as it does not seem
probable that Placido could have
been called to account for something
done during the time he was
engaged as an active participant
in the revolution.
In speaking 'Jof Placido Gen.
Funston said:
"lie was never my spy, and
ancTtho only money ho ever received
from the United States
was for the part ho took in the
capture of Aguinalde. He fought
against tho Spaniards and then
took up.arms against tho Unitod
States, in 1899 ho was severely

The following year ho surrendered
at the same time that Gen.
Garcia did. He was a prisoner
for about three months and then

of allegiance and oftentimes of
Ins own volition gave mo information
regarding theienemy. He was
not a spy in the sense of the
word that ho was in the government's
employ, nor did h? ovor go

then explained my plan to him
and ho agreed to help mo. In
order to carry out the scheme ho
became the nominal conmander
of the expedition as it ^wai necessary
to make the natives believe
that we Americans were
prisoners. When we reachsd the
camp of Aguinaldo, Placido rushed
in and threw his former chief
on the lloor of the hut and held
him there until wo mudo him a
prisoner. For his part in this

On one occasion William M.
Evarts discovered E. Delafield

friend:
'Why, there is Smith singing,

he wanted to ho district attorney,

The remark was]?ropented to

thai he had no intlucnce in that
direction. ,
