Authorities declared that the group conspired to overthrow Batista and that he had feared for his own safety. Because of the serious charges and to internal crisis involved in the asserted plot, Batista suspended constitutional guarantees for 15 days. He spoke to the armed forces at Camp Columbia.

In his address, which was broadcast, Batista said the conspirators conferred with officers of the police force, the army and the navy, ordering them to choose between them and the president to determine who should have control of the country. Document Signed The officers consulted, Batista asserted, were compelled to sign a document which friends later conveyed to him. He added that he had destroyed It. The army and the navy, which means Cuba's warships and not the men alone, he said, are ready for any eventuality. Batista said he was the "voice of the people." He declared that the attitude of the leaders of the armed forces had "forced me to suppress this seditious movement." Those arrested were Col.

Jose Pedraza, army chief since December 6. 1939. and national police chief since Saturday, and Lieut. Col. Angela Gonzalez, navy chief.

Pedraza became head of the army when Batista resigned the post to run for the presidency.

A resident of Dell Rapids since 1913 when he moved from his farm known as the Peter Orav place, he served on the town board, was a member of the park board when the park property was purchased here, served as deacon and trustee of the Baptist church and had earlier served as town board member and assessor of Logan township. Born March 6, 1861 in Weyauwega, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Lyman Merry, he came to Dakota Territory with his parents in 1873, settling four miles east of Dell Rapids. The Merry family was one of four that came from Wisconsin at the same time, others being the Woods, Crist and Hart families.

Bruce Hart Is the last surviving member of that group. Mr. Merry's first wife, Miss Reesa Hunt, to whom he was married in 18888, died in 1924 and June 2, 1926, he was married to Mrs. Lulu Black-more, Alhambra, Calif. Besides his widow, he leaves two sons, Roe and John, who farm east of here, and Grey and Henry, who operate a motor firm In the city.
