NO PUNISHMENT FOR ASSAULT.

MURDER THE ONLY CRIME PUNISHABLE ON
GOVERNMENT PROPERTY
81 Louis. Jan. @-Armstead Robinson. the
coored porter in the office OF Internal Revenue
Collector McCreery, has established precedent in
the matter Of State and Federal jurisdiction.
A week ago Robinson resented remark
made by Robert Christian. jenitor in the Federal
Building by assaultng him. He arrested on a
warrant charging him with assault and battery
In Judge Murphy's court plea in abatement was
entered by Robinson's lawyer. on the ground that
the Federal Building United States reserva-
tion. and that the State had jurisdiction over
offences committed inside the building The plea
sustained by Judge Murphy. who said that the
OF 1872 gives the United States Government
supreme Jurisdiction such territory.
This relieves Robinson OF all fear Of prosecution
the Federal statutes provide for the punishment
OF murder only when committed on Government
property.

Zertucha Not a Traitor.

Havana, Dec. I0.-At the time
Maceo was killed, when it was
charged that DIR. Zertucha. acting
as MaeeO's surgeon, betrayed him
into ambush, where he died en-
Geavoring to cut his way out, Ter
tucha was said to have received
$50, 600 from the Spaniards for
this infamous act of treachery.
Friends of the doctor, however,
stood steadfastly by him, asserting
that he never had any idea of be-
traying the insurgent cause. Not
long ago ne requested an official
inquiry into his conduct, which
was ordered by Gen. Mayia Rod
riguez.
The report just made by Alejan-
dro Rodriguez, president Of the
board of inquiry, completely exon
crates Zertucha. The report
touches upon Zertucha's services
as surgeon, and his having exposed
himself to great danger in so en-
gagements. He was with Maceo
when the latter was killed and
made a death certificate before his
interment, and then deserted, fear
ing the enmity of several Cuban
leaders, but even out of the army
continued in many ways to assist
the cause of the insurgents, proof
of which has been furnished by
many. Last May he joined the
forces in the field, where he acted
as chief surgeon, and again fought
bravely in several battles. The
report concludes by giving a clear
certificate of character and patriot
ism.
