Ell INDULTO DE AYBAR

Ell senior Julio Aybar fue convicto
ante la Corte de Distrito de Arecibo de
dos delitos separados de ibelo senten-
ciado a un afIo de carcel en- cada caso.
El delito de que fue convicto el se1or
Aybar consisti0 en- ataques indirectos y
libelosos a un anterior juez de la Corte
Municipal de Arecibo, en- articulos pu-
iblicados en- peri6dicos. Existen razo-
nes suficlentes para Greer que el tuvo
un juicio justo e impartial, y ell hecho de
haber resultado convicto deberia servir
como una advertencia para todos aque-
Hos que sienten la tentaci6n. de violar
la ley por la publication de manifesto
clones falsas maliciosas sobre ciudada-
nos particulares funcionarios p1blicos
Ell fin de la ley con arreglo a la cual fue
convicto ell senior Aybar es ell proteger
! a las personals de falsedad maliciosa, al
| teraci0n de la verdad insinuaciones que
| tiendan a manchar SUI conducta en- la
vida p1blica privada.,
No es de ning1n modo el objeto de di-
cha ley ell de restringir 4 la prensa en-
ell derecho que tiene de exponer al p1-
/! blico, en- forma leg1tima y adecuada
los casos de inefciencia en- que Sc haya
procedido NAL La seguridad de nues-
| ira sociedad de nuestro gobierno de-
ipende menudo de ese derecho. Y la
lpublicidad de tales actos no debe obsta-
culizarse en- forma alguna La publ
caci0n legltima, de buena fe con mo-
tivos justos, de hechos referentes fun
cionarios p1blicos que desatienden que
Sc oponen a los sentimientos y derechos
del pueblo a que estan obligados a ser
Ivir, 9 ell hecho de ridiculizar en- forma
|adecuada q esos mislnos funcionarios pii-
lblicos, produce frecuentemente I'm efec-
to saludable, pero manifestaciones fall
sas, insinuaciones que tiendan man
char el prestigio no solo del funcionario
contra quien Sc dirigen, sino del gobier-
no del cual forrna parte, son peigrosas
para las instituciones p1blicas y opues-
tas al interes general
| Ell hecho de haber resultado convic-
to el senor Aybar y la parte de su con-
dena cumplida por el, constituyen prue-
bas sufcientes de la protection ofrecida
por la ley contra toda publication difa-
matoria, y habiendose alcanzado los fines
de la justicia, resulta innecesaria la con-
Itinuaci0n del castigo La remission del
resto de la pena impedir1a toda idea de
que pudiera existir prejuicio de parte
del Gobierno Tambien excluira la pre-
sunci6n de que ell acusado aparezca como
lvictima, por medic de la cual podr1an ser
disminuidos los benefciosos efectos de la
sentencia. Estoy convencido, por las
razones precedentes, de que es un caso
adecuado para el ejercicio de clemencia
por el Poder Executive, y, en- consecuen-
cia, he concedido indulto Julio Aybar
Iy he Ordenado que sea puesto en- libertad
|desde Ell dia de julio de 1911, q media
