La SENTENC|A. FAM0SA

| En- un periodico de esta ciudad, trata
un senior 1fiican,ts de demostrar que la
sentenca contra Lastra tue bie, hecha,
porque los Magistrates han procedido
dentro de su criterio, aunque ell Fiscal
haya retirade la acusacion.
Despues de las Iesultancias del juicio
oral, que eonocen nuestros lectores,
hasta los mas legos en- derecho com
prenderan que habiendo testigos de car
90 para ell llavero Bosch ninguno d.
recto para Lastra, no sc puede, en- con-
ciencia, condenar este.
Que tienen aplicacion al case de Las
ira las sentencias del Tribunal Supreme
que insertamos, sc demuestra con solo
leer la eepos,ci6n de moticos que prece-
de la Ley de Enjuiciamiento Crimi-
nal, creadora del .juicio oral q p,sbAco
vige,ste en- Puerto Rico, no del juicio
por jurados. ALI Sc dice terminate
que con eIjuicio oral adq,tiere su 7oredo
mimic independencia Ia acnsacion, no
son los Magistrates mas que jueces de
campo para fallar en- vista de las razo
mes que aduzcan cl fiscal, ell acusador
publico y la defensa, siendo requisite
indispensable para condenar que haya
acusaci6m. Sc We que ell comunicante
6 sus inspiradores estan nany atrasados
en- question de derecho.
En- cuanto 10 que dice ell comuni-
cante de que un 'ersonaje pofttico esta-
ba interesado en- la absoiucon de Lastra,
podemos decirle que 10 ignoramos; pero
en- cambio sabemos, que un personoje
polStico que hasta hace POGO estuvo des-
empefiando dos empleos mcompatibles,
y por 10 tanto, comiendo dos carri :
llos, dijo Lastra, delante de varias per-
sonas, estas palabras: emientras 20 pue-
day tenga Influenza, usted no saldra
de la carcel.>
Vease, pues, de parte de que persona
je esta la i,.7uencia en- ell asuntc, y
auien es ell interesado, no de que I.astra
salga absaelto, sino de que permanezca
en- la carcel. ESQ 10 sabe la opinion.
Sepase, por ultimo, que nuestro ami
mo o.ha sido injmiar los Magistra-
dos, como va 10 dijimos en- uno de nues-
tros artfculos, sino demostrar la inocen
cia de Lastra.
Porque ese personaje que aludinos
Sc ha dejado decir varias veces, sin te-
ner pruebas de clio, que Lastra tona6
c,eatro mil pesos por la fuga de Agosti-
nj, y sin embargo, Lastra no ha podido
encontrar seiscie,stos pesos que Sc lie pi.

Nuestro ilustrado amigo y cola
borador de Patillas, ell doctor don
Antonio Jose Amadeo, indica en- su
Gltimo articulo del martes, en- la
serie que viene publicando con ell
titulo de Lo que Puerto RICO nece-
sta, la urgencia de medidas eco
n6micas que reclama el malestar
del pals, y 10 Immediate que debe
ser la fundaci6n de bancos agrico-
las, unico modo de conjurar aque-

A los efectos de la propaganda,

ciaci6n dar principle, a 10 que
han de continuar mas tarde, los
poderes de la naci6n, 6 los grandes
capitalists que nan de fjarse en-
las especulaciones que brinda ell
pals para toda empresa bancaria.
Prop6ne ell senior Amadeo como
medida previa, la fundaci6n de un
banco regional por medic de acciones
recogidas en- ell pals entire todos sus
/, habltantes, acclones que promedlan
entire 800, 50 ), de modo que
esten represetados en- ell institute

dole d la nueva institution un ca
racter eminentemente popular, y
principiando con tai medida, la edu-
caci6n del pueblo hacia los habitos
de economic, base del mejoramiento
p6blico en- todos los pueblos.
La idea nos parece excelente ba-
10 eel punto de vista moral, porque
tiende al fomento de ..costumbres d
las que no estamos habituados, al
canzando trascendencia para ell por-
venir ; pero 10 que Puerto Rico ne
cesita hoy por hoy es acci6n in
mediata y esa no puede tenerla la
idea del sefior Amadeo, porque ell
pals, que ha de ser ell factor de ella
en- su parte material, esta arrulna-
do, y los Bancos de cr6ditos que

base s0lida, pues la salida de dine
