The Fr. Jesús María Vázquez del Mercado atrocity at Mission San Rafael — 'Asesinato de Indios': the friar, 'sin ninguna autoridad, ni motivo legal, ha atentado contra la vida de muchos indígenas' guaranteed safe-conduct by Alférez Mariano G. Vallejo; the Indians, seeing the safe-conduct violated, approached 'nuestras posesiones'; killed atrociously without being at war — 'un crimen, en cuyo castigo se interesa la vindicta pública' — asks Gómez's dictamen (⚠ CROSS-ARCHIVE: same Vázquez del Mercado denunciation surfaces in C-A 61)
