520			_aBlue-eyed Pvt. Goerge Raymond of Cleveland, Ohio was a 23-year-old printer-turned-marksman of the elite U.S. Brigade Scouts who fought in the Philippine-American War in 1900-1901. After serving 15 months, he left the military service but opted not to return to the United States. His discharge papers dated 2 May 1901 stated he was never court-martialed for any infraction, was recommended by his superiors for promotion based on "two acts of bravery," was "honest and faithful," and possessed a character that could only be described as "excellent." Yet less than a week later, on 7-9 May 1901, Pvt Raymond went on a crime spree across Pampanga, from Floridablanca to Porac to Angeles, robbing and raping Kapampangans and murdering a fellow American. Eager to show Filipinos that they were more democratic than the Spaniards, the American military officers tried and convicted one of their own and sentenced him to die by hanging, a mere four months after his arrest, on 27 September 1901, in Talimundok, Angeles, Pampanga.
