The McCuTdy Case.

This morning the attorneys of
Walter ] N McCurdy who is incar-
cerated in the Hermosillo Jail, made 81
plea in writing to A. r. Morawetz,
United States Consul in Nogales, So
nora, and the McCurdy case gives pro-
mise of becoming of rave international
Importance. The plea as presented,
alleges that an American citizen w
J N McCurdy-H unjustly imprisoned
and denied full rights as should be
accorded an American citizen. 1t is
alleged that counsel and witnesses
have been refused in his defense.
McCurdy alleges in the plea that he
was arrested on several charges-the
principal one being that he forged tele-
grams in w P Harlow's name, order
ing that the New York office of the
company should deliver to the National
Bank of Commerce in New York 5000
shares Yaqui Copper Company
stock, against an order held by that
bank for like number of shares held by
them as collection. The stock which
McCurdy claimed to be entitled to, had
been previously refused-no reason
having been given except a statement
made by representative of the Yaqui
Copper company that it was no
good. The alleged forged kilograms
bore the date of March 10th and at
that time McCurdy claims he was in
Nogales, Arizona.
Now that the case has been sub
mitted to the American consul, whose
duty it is to protect American inter-
ests and American citizens in Sonora,
Mexico, many sensational features of
the McCurdy case are liable to be
made public before many days.
