Dr, Scott through his attorney. then np-
pealed 10 The state department at Wash.
ington, and the American Ambassador was
called upon to send the papers here, or
he may have sent them before that call
Among those papers was 3 copy Of this in.
terined and erased contract. and the sen.

say that the copy Of the contract as orig.
inally sent to the state department by
the American Ambassador 70 Mexico DID
not bear a trace OF either erasure or In.
terlineation, and yet the luterllneatIons
and ensures were the very issue in the
case
When Or. Scott told me that that docu-
ment was transmitted in that form by the
American minister, ! doubted his word.
and ] told hlm 10 go to the state depart.

Scott 20 write me q letter stating this re-.
fusal on the part OF the state deparf
ment 10 furnish him with a copy OF thar

calling for an explanation as 10 how n
could happen that an American citizen was
refused a copy Of q paper IN case In
