second chamber of the supreme tribunal
 of Chihuahua took up the case of A. K
 Cutting and after fully reviewing the
 entire written evidence, argument be-
 gan. This did not last long. The ai-
 torneys pro and con had previously come
 10 an agreement that the months i'm
 prisonment suffered by Cutting would
 Oe considered complete purgAtion of
 his crime. This makes it certain be-
 yOnd doubt that the sentence which
 will follow shortly, will conform to this
 agreement among the attorneys. The
 case was heard with closed doors.
 The court holds that both Judge Cas-
 tsDeda and Judge ZubirIn did exactly
 right in trying and sentencing Cutting,
 but under the circumstances the court
 thinks he has now by two months con-
 tinement suffered enough, and that they
 wIll order his release to take effect pro-
 bably by Tuesday or Wednesday next
 week. The six hundred fine is to be re- funded. The court especially reaffirms all that has been said ID favor of the right of Mexico to try offenses com mitted in the United States, therefore the status of the case as an internstion- al question IS not, and will not in the least be altered by the release of Cut ting. It will come up again directly on the question of idemnity. Consul Brig ham says he didn't see how the release of Cutting at this stage would change anything but the personal comfort of Mir. Cutting as the broad principal at stake between the governments, and as he understood, the court had expressly the validity ofthe law. Bayard had rightly said that the United States could never permit 1t to be enforced. IL was likely the point would come up Rgains on the question of indem- nity, which he thought would have been paid.

 WASHINGTON, Aug. 2I-No intimation has been received at the department of state of the alleged purpose of the Mex eRns to pardon Cutting as soon as he shall have entered upon hIs term of im- but there is disposition to believe that some way will soon be 'ound to release hIm and thus to get nd of annoying complications. Should his be done merely as an act of elem sncy on the part of the Mexican author tues and without any svowed renunci- ltiOn Ot The law of extra territorial iur- sdictiOn, this government will then un- iertake the tgsk of securing such re- SO far as American citizens Ire concerned, since the claim Is held to )e abhOrent to all principles of modern international law as recognized and lracticed by all governments which make any pretenoe to civilization.
