There is quite a bit of doubt over Pershing's actions in the PI. None of the biogrophies done on him have ever been able to substantiate the story. His private papers and that of men who served under him never mentioned the incident. In fact most accounts of Blackjack's time in the PI show that he went out of his way to avoid killing the locals. If it were true it would contradict most historical accounts of the man himself. Personally, I don't think he did it. There is nothing that i have found in the various historical records that would suggest that he would summarily execute prisoners.
