Man Said To Be American Citizen Shot Down
in Street
TBY TELEGRAPH TO THE rRIBuSE.I


Mobile June 9.-News received here to-
day of the murder in Puerto Cortez, Spanish
Honduras, Of DR.. Albert Ferrari, said to be a
naturalized American citizen. The friends Of
the dead man say that they will bring the mat
ter before the United States Government
DR.. Ferrari was recently graduated from a
Philadelphia medical college, and his
way home to visit his parents. after an absence
OF six years. when shot down in the streets of
Puerto Cortez by soldiers. From what is learned
of the killing, the individual has little show for
his life in Honduras. While the government
gives protection in a way, the slayer is rarely
punished, and murder is ordinary occurrence.
After the murder DR.. Ferrari's body buried
in a marsh, soap box being used a coffin.
An investigation was made, but the man who
ordered the soldiers to fire was not molested.
On the night Of his arrival there was a dance
at the hotel town hall. where DR.. Ferrari
went with his cousin. the chief of police at
Puerto Cortez. His cousin became involved in
a difficulty with an officer of the city. which
eliminated in general fight. The officer went
to the commanddnt of the fort and demanded
soldiers for protection. The commandant or
dered three men to go with the officer. In the
mean while Ferrari, his cousin and friend left
the place where the dance going and
started up the street. They had not proceeded
far when they met by the officer and SOL
ders. The officer recognized the chief CT police
and ordered the soldiers to fire The chief of
police and the other man fell to the ground. but
Ferlari, having forgotten the customs Of the
country in such emergencies, stood erect and
was shot through the head
An investigation was held, but the city officer
in charge of the soldiers was not arrested. The
matter has not ended there, however. as the
doctors family is a wealthy one. The killing
may lead to interna tiona complications. 1t being
believed that Ferrari naturalized Amer1-
can citizen. This phase of the case IS being
looked into by the relatives and friends or the
dead man, and if it is shown that he was an
American citizen they will ask this government
