Martyrs of Spain's Dictatorship

This article focuses on the revolutionaries of Spain's against dictatorship. One have surely read about the various attempts of Spanish revolutionaries to get back into Spain across the French frontier. Several weeks ago about seventy revolutionaries tried to get across at a small town called Vera, over a mountain pass. Well, there was a skirmish between the revolutionaries and the gendarmes, and several were killed on both sides. Soldiers arrived and the revolutionaries were arrested. As the authorities did not feel like executing all seventy, four were selected to be scapegoats, but the proofs against them were so slight that even the military tribunal acquitted them for want of proof, want of proof that it was just these four who had shot the gendarmes.
