The United States Consul at Medellin,
Colombia, reported last week to the state
department that the long pending trial OF
Charles Radford a native of Alabama, who
was accused in Colombia of murder, had
terminated in a verdict of guilty. The
Judge pronounced sentence Of death August
6 and an appeal was taken at once to the
highest local tribunal, which was granted:
The sentence is regarded as iniquitous and
hopes are entertained that it will be revers-
ed. II 1t Is not further appeal can be made
to the Supreme court OF Bogota. After his
sentence Radford was by order of the al
calde, placed in heavy irons and otherwise
treated in the most cruel manner. The
United States Consul protested to the gov
ernor against such needless cruelty and he
said he was powerless to interfere with the
alcalde's orders. The consul then tele-
graphed the American minister in Bogota,
hoping to obtain better treatment for the
condemned man through the Colombian
government.

declares that the statement that he has
decided to transfer his democratic
deputies to the Georgia district, pre-

provide that deputies must be selected

present eligible list, and will wait until
