DIES MONIES, June B-(special.)-The
somewhat famous Greenwich case from
Mexico will not be finished Immediately.
The case has assumed some peculiar phases
since It was started. Greenwich Is accused
OF murder in Mexico. He was arrested In
Davenport and held. awaiting the requlsi-
ton Of the Mexican government. He was
brought 10 Des Moines for a preliminary
hearing before Clerk Macarthur OF the fed
eral court. acting as a commissioner. and
this hearing has developed into a trial for
murder, in which the Mexican government
appears as prosecutor, and an attorney is
here from Mexico to see that the case is
prosecuted to the finish. But the proceed
ings are 80 peculiar that the attorneys have
been having trouble. One rule in regard to
such matters was that while the testimony
OF tho Mexican government might be shown
by dispositions that of the defense must be
by oral testimony. The impossibility of
putting up a good defense here by oral
Testimony was apparent and so the at
torneys In the case telegraphed the Mex
lean ambassador for permission TO make a
showing for the defense by dispositions. In
order to get these a thirty days ~continu-
ance was agreed to. In the meantime the
attorney for the Mexican government will
remain here and Greenwell will be sent
DdCh 10 jail at davenport. |
