TO PROTECT AMERICANS
Mexican Government Is Notified 1t Must
See to 1t That There Is No Repe-

Those of Thursday.

Washington, April Is. President
Taft is determined that future battles
! between Mexican federalists and in
surrectos shall not be fought so close
to the American line as to jeopardize
the lives and property of Americans.
Through the state department he mott
fled the Mexican government last night
that it must see to it in future that

more battles viii be fought near the

seemingly on the verge Of an unlaw
full transaction to entrap him.
When he was brought to my office
he was wise enough to realize that
the chances for his escape were very
small. When questioned he confessed
everything and promised to plead
guilty.
When his case came up in the
United States court ex-Judge Stuart
was his counsel. He was a criminal
lawyer of considerable ability, about
seventy-five years of age. He had
been practising law in New York city
for many years and was the trusted
friend and adviser of many of the
most notorious criminals of that day
Tall, raw-boned, solemn faced and
deeply sentimental, he could shed croc
odile tears copiously while making a
plea for his client. I have often been
filled with wonderment at the effect
produced upon the minds of jurors
by this great actor. His tragic voice,
his long gray locks and fearful eyes,
had an astonishing effect and fire
quently brought tears even to the
eyes of the judge and the stony
hearted lawyers engaged in the prose-
cution, who were sometimes seen to
turn their heads during the dramatic
scenes enacted by the old hypocrite
while engaged in defending his client.
The evidence introduced in the
Russian engraver's case was so strong
and overwhelming that anything like
a successful defense upon legal
grounds appeared quite impossible.
Stuart had been at my office and made
an effort to secure the Russians re-
lease on his promise to assist in cap
turned the proposition down and his
counsel had said that his client would
plead guilty and throw himself upon
the mercy of the court. When the
case was brought to trial Judge
Stuart Informed me that his client
had changed his mind and had con-
cluded to stand trial. He said the
Russian had disregarded his advice
and he did not think there was any
chance of saving him.
When the case was called and the
jury was organized, l saw they were
a choice selection of philanthropists.
The testimony produced on the trial
was more than sufficient to convict;
there did not seem to be even a
shadow of a chance for the prisoners
