biNf ana iic Why NpDtil.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-Judge Bradley
of the district supreme court today refused
to grant Prince Yturbide of Mexico a man
damus to compel the Metropolitan club Of
this city to reinstate him in membership.
The case was a sequel to the expulsion Of
Yturbide for alleged circulation of scandal
Gus charges against the daughter OF mem
Der of the club to whom he had been en-
gagged to be married. The mandamu5 was
refused after a two-days jury trial, at which
the facts in the case were rehcarsed. The
jury, after being out about forty minutes
returned with a verdict for the club
In the course of his argument Mr.. Berry
counsel for Prince Yturbide, said that the
case involves not only his clients mem
borship in the Metropolitan club, but the
additional enc as to whether he was to be
barred from every club in the country and
i'm Europe, as well as in his own native land,
Mexico. In making his charge to the jury
Judge Bradley referred briefly to Prince
Yturbide's connection with the Metropolitan
club, saying that when the prince joined
the club he made himself liable to all the
provisions contained in its constitution and
must be bound by them. The only question
for the Jury to decide was whether at a
meeting of the board, the rolator being pres
ent and the specification of the charge being
made to him, he did or did not admit that
he had made such accusations against the
woman in question. 1t was not incumbent
on the board to inquire into the roasOnG
Mr.. Yturbide had for making the accuse.
tons and ii was not within the province Of
the jury to say whether, on these grounds
the decision cf the board was a proper one
The jury had only to deal with a question Of
fact. If they found that the reatOr had
made such admissions as the board of gov
errors said he did, then they must find for
the club. If they agreed that he did not
make such admissions. then they should
find for the relator, Mr. Yturbide. 1t is
understood that a motion for a new trial
will probably be made.
