yoved the Mexican government, in responsibility
therefor,
oIn discussing this question at the board, our COL
leagues seemed to place the utmost reliance on The
statements contained in the record ofthe proceedings
before the Judge of the court of primary jurisdiction
at Tabasco in November, 1894 On the contrary, we,
the undersigned regarded the statements therein as
worthy of very little consideration. 1t is certainly
of great Importance in the outset of this discussion
that the true character of this norton of the evidence
sbould be ascertained We shall in The first Mace
show the circumstances under which this evidence
was taken: and infer tberefrom. that, were il moi,
conradcted il would be entitled 20 very little Gre

to the conduct of those who had charge of this pro-

their object TO get IN contradiction to the facts in
I,eegett's memorial, and when those facts were so
obvious as TO defv contradiction. to pervcrt them,
and to explain the transactions with Leggett in sttch
