MEXICAN BRIGAND s.—Recen t letters from Mexico,
have mentioned the case of a M. Destagne, a French men
-
chant. The facts, as disclosed by his deposition and the.
evidence taken before the legation, are as follows :—" On
the 10th June he started for the Yenta de Cordova, a short
distance from the city of Mexico, when of a sudden he was
surrounded by:armed men belonging to the corps of Cuellar,
a government general. They seized him, bandaged his eyes,
and carried him off to the mountains, where he remained a
prisoner, without shelter, exposed to the rain and cold.
They then, with a pistol at his breast, compelled him to
write to his wife, requiring her to pay to his order the sum
of 2,000 dols. His wife, suspecting some deceit, refused to
pay the order. From that moment he was submitted to the
most frightful treatment. On the 24th of June, with his
eyes still bandaged, he was lodged in a wretched hovel,
exposed to all the inclemencies of the weather, kept almost
without food, and threatened constantly with death. They
declared they would shoot him unless he laid down 5,000
dollars. On the 25th he was taken to another part of the
mountain, where he was kept without shelter, half starved,
and nearly naked. Several times did they take him out to
be shot, making him kneel down and firing at him with
blank cartridges. These barbarities were continued for 22
days ; his sufferings were so intense that he felt he could
not survive them much longer; he again wrote to his wife,
informing her of the awful position in which he stood." The
Prussian Minister, with his usual energy, at once took up
the case, and his release was at last obtained upon payment
of 500 dollars. When he returned home his family scarcely
recognised him ; his limbs were swollen, his sight nearly
gone, and his nervous system so shattered that for some time
it became a question whether he would ever recover.
