TANG1ER, February 4.-The Morocco
Times today prints a continuation OF lts
stories about ex- United States Consul
William Reed Lewis, in which 1t tells OF
an unfortunate Moor who purchased the
protection of the American Consulate,
and not being able to pay down the price
demanded, gave notes on his property
with the understanding that he was to
have five years time to pay them in.
Within month after giving the notes,
he was summoned TO Tangier and told he
must pay or 60 to Jail, and few days
later he was imprisoned and all his prop
erty sold. His brothers succeeded in
raising money to get him out of prison
by mortgaging the family property to
Jews. Now they are in worse difficulty
than ever. The Jews demand the
money, and threaten to take all
the property and put all three of
the brothers in prison until the whole
debt is paid, together with all expenses.
Tne Morocco Times says the only thing
to be done to save this unfortunate
family from ruin and death IS for the
United States Government to settle the
claims of the Jews and paw all expenses
in the matter. They had no manner of
right to senG repres e1tative here and
maintain him in position to swindle
and imprison poor, Woodworking people.
The people who took the poor, unfortu
nate Moor to United States Consul Lewis,
and conducted all the negotiations in the
matter, were two Jews named Solomon
Azogue and Abraham Amselem. The |
latter is the same who, shortly after the
incident mentioned above, was fogged |
by order of Consul Lewis and then sen
fenced to twelve months imprisonment. |
