Toledoan’s Death In Cuba Detailed

Forced To Kneel With First Bullets

MIAMI, Aug. 2 (AP)—When William Morgan, the former Toledoan who fell out with Fidel Castro after helping him win his revolution, was executed in 1960, Castro’s firing squad aimed at his knees, a Cuban refugee report said today.

The report by Revolutionary Unity, an anti-Castro organization, said the prime minister witnessed the execution because he wanted to see “the Yankee kneel before me.”

Mr. Morgan, a former U.S. Army paratrooper had said he would die on his feet, the organization said in an extensive survey of alleged human rights violations by the Castro regime.
