No suggestion hss been made by re-

ton OF the case of Msj. E g. Rsth
bone, former director OF post, of Cuba,
who, after being convicted with Nicely

secures pardon. II is not apparent
that lere ia aoy way now open 10 him

who said he was convinced that Msi.
Rsthbone was innocent, will probably
take no further step, having carried
his poiLt for q new trial, as the me jor
will now be free to look after bic own

his trial was absolutely fair.
