LIEMPTY-19 has denied that she has a fixed address : and says that she is staying with "friends." 4, LIEMPTY-19 is continuing to use the services of Bernabe Juardo as her lavy: > and, through him, is pressing for even more advantageous terms in the divorce than she had asked in November, i Please see the attached copy and trauslation of the latest proposal made by Juardo on 4 March 1970, | 5.

These charges have not, been pressed geince they were originally made on 13 November -1969 by LIEMPTY-I9. The vuling on these charges, should the case cone to trial, must be made by three judges of the 2% Corte Penal composed of the 4th, 5th, and 6th Juzgados Penales. The judge of the 6° Juzgado is Lic. QUIRAZCO, an alumnus of 'GERENDE's lawyer, Jorge Mario MAGALLON. Together they have, on two occasions, been to speak to Judge CRUZ Mellado whe agreed not to. “issue &n arrest warrant ani who has, finally, called for a hearing on 16 March (subsequently postponed) at 10:00. MAGALLON has given GERENDE assurances that the charges are likely to be dismiased, b. Fraud -- this charge was made by LIEMPTY-19 and her lawyer on 11 December 1969, the day after GERENDS left the Villa Obregon jail after having spent a week there for . disobeying a court order. (The court order ‘had consisted of an unfounded request to have GERENDE expelled from his house and to have LIEMPTY-19 reinstated there with her father, as the temporary custodian of the children. GERENDE refused then aduissbn under those terms, hence disobeying the Villa Obregon judge's order, so the judge's secretary arbitrarily ordered, on the spot, a 10-day detention. Subsequently, the judge, LUCAS del ARSENAL, was forced to lift the detention after seven days and dismiss himself from the case and divorce proceedings as incompetent. The judge-has had to face charges of eollusion from and with the lawyers of both parties, i.e. Magallon and Jurado, The charge of fraud resta at Mesa 31° of the Procuraduria del Distrito Federal, The Public Ministry Agent in charge of that table is Jorge GUTIERREZ Cruz. LIEMPTY-~19 claims that the money lent to her and GERENDE for building the house at Ladera #39 was actually loaned to buy the house and that GERENDE, knowing they were married under “ the separate property marriage clause lad wrongfully placed - the property in his name only, thereby committing fraud. Actually, the land was bought by GERENDE before Christmas 1965 in a complicated transaction involving three other partners: Robert Bancroft WHITEHOUSE, John (Dick) RENNA, and James Walter HURLEY, and each of the partners placed the property in their respective names with the complete knowledge of their spouses,- Later the land was subdivided and after nineteen months the deeds were issued, LIEMPTY-19 supervised and prodded the notary who made the transaction and she was perfectly aware that the preperty was in GERENDE's name, In August 1967 when construction of the house began, LIEHMPTY-19's father's money was used which he had deposited in Mexico for the purpose, Since January 1969, according to the terms of the loan agreement, GSRENDE has been paying it off and has receipts from LIEMPTY-19 to show for it, GERENDE has presented both the land deed ("escritura") pre-dating the construction of the house and the receipts a are y a f
_ Showing up to date payment of the loan at the "Mesa 314," No further action has been taken by LIEMPT Y-19 or her lawyer on this matter but the. charge has not finally been settled and ig still pending. ‘The charge ia, of course, unfounded and ig awaiting the proper “lubrication” in order to be filed away. . ©, Neglect -- this charge was made by LIEMPTY-19 in © December 1969 at the 7° Juzgado Mixto de Paz claiming that GERENDE had abandoned LIEMPTY-19 and the children to their fate and that they were utterly destitute. GERENDE was not notified of this charge and on 9 February after attending a hearing at.the Villa Obregon juzgado (see below), once out on the sidewalk, Judicial police agents detained GERENDE, took him to the Procuraduria and from there to Lecumberri, This process involved being finger-printed and mugged, The following day GERENDE was out on a 2,000 pesos bond and three days later, 13 February, the justice of the peace (a woman) formally set GERENDE free for Iack of evidence. GERENDE and Magallon went back on 5 March te pick up the bond money and gee if Jurado had appealed but he had not and, apparently, that matter is closed, 6, On 14 November 1969, one day after LIEMPTY-19 disappeared from home taking the children with her, GERENDE brought charges against her for minor lesions and showed. medical proof thereof, The hearing of 9 February after which GERENDE was detained, was called by Villa Obregon judge Bonfilio SEGURA. GERENDE reiterated the charge, LIEMPTY-~19 denied it, the judge ruled against her, ordered her to prison but since the injuries were minor, it does not require privation of liberty and she must only go and sign-in once a week, 7, LYIEMPTY-19 is at present teaching school at the Edron Academy on Caleri.Street in San Angei Inn, The two older children are going to school there, During the latter part of November, all December and half of January, the children did not attend any school, .On three occasions GERENDE has been to the school at 13:30 to try to speak to LIEMPTY=-19 and see the children, LIEMPTY-19 has objected to this and the meetings mve been short and fruitless except for GERENDE learning that they are still staying at the Dutch Ambassador's, GERENDE’s last visit there was on 3 March (Tuesday). 8, After the Villa Obregon judge dismissed himself from the divorce proceedings, according to standard procedure, the case went to Coyeacan and Xochimilco respectively where the judged, in turn, excused themselves from the case and it has finally come to reside at the Ist Juzgado Civil in the D,F, The judge is Olda CORREA (woman) and hag the reputation of being tough and pretty straight. Since LIEMPTY-19 has not given an address where divorce Suit papers can be served her, the suit has not yet been initiated on GERENDE's part. LIEMPTY-19, on the otherhand, has not had
of ree any ee” . ¥ GERENDE served with papers though his current address is known, apparently becayse she is still seeking a voluntary divorce along - Bey the lines and terms which are stated in the accompanying set of ue proposals, GERENDE cannot begin to accept these proposals ia their-present form as they are patently unfair and hardly a poiat to beginning bargaining from. * ird gz * wand ‘ york. 2 vf =
