The latest news of the Goldsboro and Bailey Is
from Puerto Cortez Honduras. saying that Tue
name of the vessel changed to Auahuoa' anu
that the cargo consisting of merchandise anu mo
chinery obtained under false pretences from All. IL
lean manufacturers was discharged at Tela Inc
Americans reported to be aboard are peileVeu u
be Francis G. Bailey and A W. Bailey, his brother'
It was learned this city yesterday thar the '"o
children of f G. Bailey. who were at hrst sup
posed be with their father. are staying with MS
sister at No. 1875 Avenue II, Flatbush
Bailey could have chosen no more dangerous poft
of landing for his purpose than Tela. The COM
manGant of the port and collector OF customs ol
TeIa is Colonel Carlos c. Violet. an American ciu-
zen and formerly of this city. He was member
of the 23d Regiment of Brooklyn and one OIL the
founders of Troop &.
Colonel Violet is president Of tho Atldntiod
Banana and Rubber Company of Tela, and II IS
pointed out that in the absence OF an ehtrd-
dtion treaty between the United States ana hoh-
duras he will hardly permit American lnteres's
TO suffer in the case of the Goldsboro Atiantida
the new name of the latter vessel IS taken from
one of the states of the republic.
1t was learned yesterday that Bailey tried 10
land the cargo at Puerto Cortez free OF duty de-
cIaring to the authorities that he intended esan-
fishing an American colony in the country and that
the Goldsboro's cargo was to be used in that con-
rection But the Honduran officials refused 10
grant the request.
Jacob Fried of counsel for the receivers of the
Export Shipping Company. said that the RECORDS
show that the draft-kiting which BaLey
is accused of begun some time IN feo-
ruary. In April Bailey changed the entire per
sonne his office, except the stenographer so that
there would be nobody in his employ who would
know too much of his peculiar methods OF conduct
ing the affairs of the company. He had corre-
spondents or firms doing business in this market
through his office in nearly every country OF the
world including India. Spain. Portugal Denmark
and Barbados.
Speaking of the escape of Bailey with his loot A
Parker Nevin, acounsel for the National Associa-
ton of Manufacturers. said yesterday: No plan
was ever worked out more skilfully. The people
who went away with the Goldsboro knew that there
was no extradition treaty with Honduras. No mat
ter if a warrant is issued in the police court and
an indictment found by the grand jury 1t is i'm
possible to get Bailey out of Honduras if he does
not want Every move he has made has
been carefully studied and he is surrounded by
every legal protection that it is possible to i'm
agine. If Bailey is brought back to the
United States it will be after a legal battle that
will pass into history and the fight will be one
will be watched by the whole legal fraternity.
At present the location of Mr.. Bailey, if, re-
ported. he is in Honduras places him in posi-
ton practically impregnable.''
