The Supreme Court of Chihuahua Releases
the Belligerent Texas Edttor-His Foot
Again on His 'sNatiye Heath"
Ell PAso, Tex, Aug. 24.-At 11:30 yes
terday morning Cutting was taken before
Judge Castanedas' court when the official
minutes of the Chihuahua court which
had arrived, were read to him, recit-
ing the decree releasing him from fur
Their custody. The decision of the court is
based entirely upon the fact that Medina,
the offended party, had waived his right to
a civil suit for damages, the court holding
that this ended the proceedings OF the
State. When released by the court, Cut
ting replied: las long as am not fpr-
ther detained as prisoner l accept my lib
erty, and l request that copy
of the decree of the Supreme
Court be given me for my future
use" This the court consented to do in
Spanish. Judge Castanedas sent copy Of
the decree to the jefe pOlitico, who sent
back word that he in person would give
Cutting his liberty, with some wholesome
advice. Cutting said TO reporter: well,
/ can't understand what all this has TO do
with my card in the Ell Paso Herald, for
which solely l was arrested, for four weeks
incarcerated and was being tried at the
time my Government made a demand for
my immediate release" 1t Is said on the
other side of the Rio that the Mexican con-
stitutiOn, prohibiting the residence of agi-
tatorS and other dangerous characters with
In the republic, will be enforced against
Cutting.
ADJOURNED FOR REFRESHMENTS.
After the decree had been read to Cut
ting and copy issued to him he was car
ried TO the Office of Mayor Provencio, where
he was formally set at liberty. Consul
Brigham, with a number of Americans,
were with him. A cordial shaking of hands
between the Americans followed, and all
adjourned to casino on the corner, called
FL Princidale, kept by Marylander. Here
they were compelled tO wait few minutes
for a street car, on which they expected to
leave Mexican soil. Danlin, the official in
terpreter, the mayor and several Mexican
officials entered the casino and few words
were exchanged between the parties, the
evident intent being to arrest Cutting.
The latter in reply to some remark said
to Danlin with finger raised: II will meet
the five principals in this matter later"
This was said in an impressive manner,
just as man might say, ''When l get you
alone we will have this thing out" 1t was
instantly interpreted and the mayor and
Danln cried out: ''Pues va es an muvo
delit0s % which in English is: "a new Of
Tense" Several of the Mexicans stepped
toward him, but, the car having Opportunely
arrived, Cuttings American friends closed
in around him, and, hurry;ng him to the
car, he was as rapidly as the time table al
lows driven across the border.
