American citizen. who was recently
sentenced to a term of eight years i'm
prisonment in n Mexican pcnitentiary,
has been released from custody.
Golding was employed as brake
man on IL Mexican railway. and was
convicted OF completely in the death
OF a Mexican who was stealing ride
on his train by throwing him off the
car. At a re hearing of the case de-
veloped the fact that Golding had no
thing to do with eiccting the man from
the train. The sentence of the lower
court, therefore was reversed. and the
Supreme Court. to which an appeal was
made, gave him his freedom.
\ pathetic incident in connection
with the case was the death of Gold
