Juarez This Afternoon
COMFORTABLE QUARTERS
Have Been Fitted Up For Her In the
Barracks By Order Of Governor
Ahumada, Who Is Anxious To
Avoid All Grounds For Complaint.
Today Mrs. J. D. Rich will
be taken to Mexico. The war
rant for her rendition was received sew
eral days ago. but for some unknown
| reason, kept secret.
Governor Ahumada has been in JuR-
rez since Friday and took it upon him
self, in view of the vast amount of in
terest aroused by the Rich case in the
United States, to see that comfor table
apartments were provided for
the reception of Mrs. Rich
in the barracks in Jusrez and to insure
that the prisoner wants for nothing
after she is removed to her new prison.
The governor did not come here to re-
ceive the prisoner, as erroneously re-
ported, but on other business, and to
see that there would be no grounds for
her in the Juarez prison. He intended
to leave last evening, but on account of
q slight indisposition, will not go until
today.
The law provides, according to
Judge Sexton, that any officer may con-
vey the prisoner to the other side the
river.
MRS. RICH EXCITED.
When Mrs Rich learned for the first
time that she was to be taken to Mex
leo today she grew very nervous and
declared that she would not go until
she was ready. She gave for her rea-
sons that che was not quite prepared
and would not be SO for few days, and
she would write the authorities naming
the time when they could come for
her.
She was warned that she had better
pack her effects as the United States
marshal would arrive with the warrant
at three o'clock. Promptly at three
o'clock U. S. Marshal Siebricht of San
Antonio, arrived at the Jail and was
closely followed by Consul Mallen,
who delivered the warrant from the
state department to Mr.. Siebricht.
At 4:3O Mrs. Rich was packing her
things. AS soon as she is ready she
