INDEMNITY FOR A WIDOW
SAN DOMINGO TO PAY FOR THE
KILLING OF AN AMERICAN.

Architect j. j. Platt the Victim of Shoot
ing which smacked SuspiciOusly of
Murder-COnsuI Astwood'E Demand
Emphathized by Preparations to Send
Man of War to the scene.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1l.-On June 2S
last j. j. Platt, an American architect
doing business I'm the city of san Domin-
so, while sitting In his room In the hotel
was brutally murdered by a squad Of
Dominican officers. 1t was said at the
time that the shooting was accidental,
and that he met his death while the OIL
cials were attempting TO arrest another
man. 1t is pretty definitely known now
That while he was not shot intentionally
he was killed because he was supposed TO
be somebody else, and the investigation
into his identity was carried ON when 1t
was TOO late to be Of any service TO him.
INDEMNITY DEMANDED.
The Consul at San Domingo, Mr.. II. G.
Z. Astwood, who was appointed from New
Orleans in February, 1882. at once took
the matter in hand ana demanded that the
murder he investigated, and that the
widow be indemnited for her loss as far
as money could indemnify one for such a
loss as this. The Consul wrote to the
State Department what he had done, and
requested that his action be approved.
GOV. Porter, First Assistant Secretary of
State, to whose attention the affair was
called, at once approved the action OF Mr..
AstwOod, and directed him to take the
necessary proceedings to recover damages
from the San Domingo government.
$4,000 SECURED.
Some correspondence passed between
the Secretary of State and the Secretary
OF the Navy, and it is understood that a
United States man-Ot-war was detailed 10
back up the demands of the Consul If they
were not listened to by the Dominicans.
But force. it seems, was not necessary in
this instance, and through the fortunate
services of Mr.. Astwood the widow Will
receive enough money TO take care Of her
for some time at least, in spite OF the fact
that the medical examiners, the defend
ant, and the court were all on one side.
Consul Astw0od reports 10 the department
that he has succeeded in securing n judy
ment Of S33,00O In favor of the widow.
This is the first instance in which a re-
dress has been so promptly rendered for
loss OF life on this island.
