Special TO the Herald bv the associated Pressl
Ell PAso, August 23.-Cuttihg was
taken once more before Judge Caste
nada's Court to-day, when the official
minutes of the Chihuahua Supreme
Court, which had arrived on this morn
ing's Mexican Central train, were read
him.. which recited the decree releasing
him from further custody. The decis-
ion of the Court is based entirely upon
the fact that Medina. the offended party,
had waived his right for civil suit for
damages, the Court holding that this
ended the proceeding Of the State.
When asked by the Court what he had
to say, he replied; "As ! am not further
delayed as a prisoner accept my lib
erty, and l request that q copy Of the
decree Of the Supreme Court be given
me for my future use." This the Court
consented to.
The decree giving Cutting his liberty
after a long preamble reviewing the his.
tory of the case. says: Considering
the offended party, Emigdio Medina, has
desisted from the action to which be had
a right, as against A. X. Cutting, and
therefore the principal motive Of the pro.
ceedinQs does not exist, therefore there is
not, in the judgment of this court, suf.
| ficient foundation TO continue the case.
Considering the act of dssisting on the
part of the party offended, it is conceived
to be with the principal the object Of
quieting the alarm consequent upon his
| former complaint, a. he has in terms
clearly expressed and in continuing pro.
ceeding on hepoint legally and accurate
ly decided in the first instance, would be
not only to divest that laudable PROPOSE
tion of its effect, but also it would go
beyond the intent claimed by slow,
national decorum. Therefore, the Court
decides, in the name of the justice Of
the State, the following propositions:
The first not Of desisting on the part Of
Emigdio Medina from the civil action to
which he was entitled against A. X.
Cutting, who shall be placed immediately
in absolute liberty. Second, that the
general prosecuting attorney of the
State, Lawyer Jose Maria Gandari, and
defendants attorney, lawyer Joaquin
Villalos, be notified, and afker
returning the frat book of min
utes, let the corresponding order be
issued to the Second Lower Judge OF
Bravas for its exact fulfillment, and let it
be recorded in the archives OF the State
government;
Lawyer Cipriano Pima, Magistrate of
the second chamber Of the Supreme
Tribunal of Justice of the State of
chihuahua, for this act tried in appel
late court, do 90 decree the order and
sign before . witness. ] give faith,
(Signed) CIPRIANo Pima.
JESUS 0. MAJERA. Secretary.
After the decree had been read to
Cutting he was carried to the office of
Mayor Provencio, where he was formal
ly set at liberty. Consul Brigham
and a number Of Americans were
with him. A cordial shaking of hands
between the Americans followed and all
adjourned to casino on the corner of
Gale de Principal, kept by Marylander.
Here they were compelled to wait for a
few moments for the street car on which
they expected TO leave Mexican soil.
Dinlan, the official interpreter, the
Mayor and several Mexican officials en-.
tered the casino and few words were
exchanged between the parties, the evil
dent intent being to arrest Cutting. The
latter in reply to some remark from
the interpreter said to Dinlan with
finger raised: II will meet the five
principals in this matter later" This
was said in an impressive matter, just as
q man might say, "Wheu l get You
alone we will have this thing out" 1t
was instantly interpreted, and the Mayor
and Dinlsn cried out, "Puss va es un
nuevo delito." which in English is "a
new offense." Several of the Mexicans
slipped toward him, but the car having
opportunely arrived, Cuttings American
friends closed. in around him and, hur-
rying him to the car, he was as rapidly
as the time table allows drawn across
| the border.
