Ing Americans at Valparaiso.
VALPARAISO. Chill. Feb. 5-Judge of
Crimes Foster yesterday passed sentence in
the long-pending and much-discussed Bal
timore assault case of Oct. 16. 1891. His
sentence is subject to review by the Court
of Appeals. The document covers $50
pages. and goes all over again the evidence
against the accused. and it
closely with the evidence presented by the
prisoners. The finding of the court is as
follows:
Carlos Arena. alias Gomez. sentenced to
$40 days Imprisonment for wounding Will
lam Turnbull. the coal-heaver of the Balti-
more. who died of his injuries; three
hundred days for public disorder. sixty
days for carrying D knife. and twenty days

imprisonment for InjurIng TurnbulL.
FREDERICK Rodriguez. sentenced TO 40
days imprisonment for wounding Boat
swain Mate Charles w. Riggin, another OF
the murdered American seamen. for pub
lie disorder and for carving q knife.
1t is held by Judge Foster that the evil
dence does not show that Rodriguez killed
Riggin. On the contrary. it's claimed that
Higgins death was caused by a shot which
WAS fired bY some unknown person.
The American sailors claim that RiggIn
was killed by o policeman. Gomez and

DENVER, COL, Feb. 5.-The Western

attached and al application for a receiver

$1,000. nevertheless the company was I'M

principally with other peoples money.
The com any'S manner of business was to
loan money at q high rate and take a mort
gage to secure payment. This mortgage
was sold at a premium to Eastern investors,
the company collecting the interest. The
money paid by purchasers was reinvested
until the business reached an enormous
aggregate. The farmers were unable to
pay the high interest, and the company, to
maintain its standing. advanced il to pur-
chasers. They drew or the Third National
Bank of New York city until all their
funds were exhausted, when 1t changed tao
tics. This was Oct. ], 1891. Then the press of
creditors became too great to be withstood.
When the directors saw that tho crash was
coming. it is claimed. they formed the
American Real Estate Investment Com
pany and secretly began to turn over the
stock OF the trust company to the new cor
poration. Some of the acts of the directors
in this State, 1t is alleged, are criminal
offenses. The losses to Eastern purchasers
will aggregate hundreds of thousands. as
the securities they can attach are consid-
cred very poor.
