and tho conspiracy failed Plans agrsed upon aud do.

ard all the schemes proved fzzies
Search was made for the loader Of tho whole. He
could not be found He had expended $40 600 OF his
own money in hopes OF carrying out tho enterprise
Still, he has escaped.
Now you can see how narrow an escape the people Of
Vera Cruz had from expcr encng pronunct
