DESPERATE CASE AND THE

believe that human life is SO sacred that
human life must not be protected by rid

prey upon human life, will shed tears OF
sympathy for the Siellian assassins and
their accessories and abettors who have
been terrorizing New Orleans for twenty
years and have been lynched.
We have no sympathy for them, no
tears. We have no Communications for
the people Of New Orleans, who took the
law IN their own hands aud perhaps did
some unjust or too swift vengeance.
They have our sympathy They have
been sorely tried

United States. that this government was
therefore liable to be mulshted for dam

General Barrundia was killed while
aboard an American vessel. but the yes-
sci was In Gautemalan port aud there
fore under Gsutemslan jurisdiction. Hs
was not killed BY any SCENT. employee. or
officer Of the United States. so that there
is no evidence to show that Mrs. Bar
rundia has any claim against this
country for 81, 000. 600. or any Sther sum
which must not be a prior and stronger
claim against her own country.
1t Is the policy Of this country not 10
surrender persons charged with political
oifenses, but We could not incur any
liability by simply breaking our own
policy. Ia this case General Barrundia
was not technically even out Of the juris
dleiion OF the Gautemalan officers. He
was Gautemalan subject on an American
vessel still within Gsutenalan jurisdlc
tion and was killed while resisting arrest
by GautemslGn officers.
These statements make IL clear that
this government Is relieved from any
liability for the death OF General Barrun.
dia. whatever. We had no right to
interfere to protect or shield him. II
indeed Mrs Barrundia could establish q
claim against the United States this
country would immediately fcrce Gaute
mala to pay 1t, for the offenses were COM
mitted by Der officers, to which the
officers OF the United States we're not
even accessories At the worst they can
b accused only Of having permitted the
killing.
But Mrs. Barrundla cannot have
legal claim against the United States,
because she Is not citizen She can
only assert her claim through the
Gautemalan government; and If they
endorse the claim they viii surely have
TO pay 1t themselves, because their Off
GERS, not those of the United States,
killed her husband Hence, in any light,
her claim is absurd.
