hanged Monday at Taos, few hours

death resulting from strangulation.
Conley had been convicted by jury,
II members of which spoke only Span

the aid of an interpreter. An appeal
was granted to the New Mexico SUI
preme court, but as Conley. lacked the
money to pay for transcript the evil

are to the effect that President Cas-
tro says he will humble France, break
up the Monroe doctrine, clear out the
French from Venezuela and then start
on Americans, Englishmen and Ger
mans, who, he declares, are worse
than Chinese. He is reported as say
ing that he will clear the country of
foreigners. He is very bitter against
Americans who, he says, are after his
country. The populace is yearning
for an American protectorate, and the
better class of Venezuelans are re-
ported as saying that the situation
demands immediate Intervention by
the United States for the sake Of hu.
