Elk President of Nicaragua to
Answer for Americans Death.

Washington. Jan 12.-Actuated by the de-
termination that those responsible TOT tHr
execution OF the Americans Cannon ana
Groce during the Nicarasuan revolution
shall be prosecuted. the state Department
to-day asked Thomas T. Moffatt. consul
at Managua. for a report on the situation
The departments telegram OF inquiry was
based on press dispatch to the effect thar
the Congress Of Nicaragua had concluded
that It had no power TO prosecute ex-Presi-
dent Zelaya for offences charged against
him following his retirement from office.
President Estrada has issued decree
granting general amnesty 10 all polltical
offenders, which would permit the former
President 10 return TO his native country
without danger OF prosecution on political
charges. The view Of the American gov
errment, however, IT is said at the State
Department, IL that the former President
should not be permitted 10 return except
under the cloud OF an Indictment for al
legged crimes. This, il is added. would be
effective in keeping him out OF Nicaragua,
where the United States regards him as a
menace to the peace OF the country.

In the matter of reparation for the killing
Of Groce and Cannon, the Secretary said.
the government of the United States would
"be loath to impose upon the innocent peo-
pie OF Nicaragua the too heavy burden OF
expiating the acts of a regime forced upon
them, or to exact from a succeeding gov
eminent, IL II has quite different policies,
the imposition of such a burden"
The Secretary explained that under ma

so far as the punishment might fall where

ton Of any form of religious belief that

Therefore the prohibitions Of these statutes
fix the stamp of nullity upon the residuary

pTessly TO make such gift.
3 Because the legatee was forbidden eX-
pressly 10 receive such gift.

that time They had no right to assume
that she would attempt to make a dispo-
sition of her property contrary TO the eX-
press provisions of the statutes of New
Hampshire and MASSACHUSETTS,. If they

in part:
Prior TO the making by Mrs. EDDY Of her
will on September IL, 1901, she had taken
UP the delusion that her son George had
become possessed by evil spirits under the
influence OF what she called malicious anil

her, and she had declared her intention TO
disnhert him and she had also gone on
to conceive the same delusion concerning
