Governor McIntire to Mr. Gresham .

Denver, Colo. , March 16, 1895 .

I have reliable information that two of the Italians lynched positively had first and probably second citizenship papers. Not known whether Danino was an American citizen. It is asserted that the two prisoners who may have escaped from first attack of mob had first citizenship papers. The fate of the last two not known, as they have not been heard from since their escape. I have directed proper district attorney to take speedy steps looking to arrest and conviction of the guilty parties in the Walsenburg affair.

Albert W. McIntire, Governor.
