Mexico City, Oct 1S.-Seventy-four
.of the 10 members of the Mexican
chamber of deputies arrested ly order
Iof Provisional President Huerta Oc-
tober 10, were formally arraigned TO,
day before the second judge of the
federal district, who has charge of the
investigation into the cases. The
period for filing charges against the
deputies expired today.
The charges against the deputies to-
day were all for political offenses des-
ignated by the law as rebellion, sedi.
ton, and insults to important pub
lie functionaries.
Ten of the deputies against whom
there was said to be insufficient evi
dence, We're released. The others mad
been previously set at liberty.
1t was expected yesterday that Ro
dolfo Reyes, formerly provisional min
lister of justice. and Jorge Vera Esta-
mol, formerly provisional minister of
public instruction, would be released
but they were among those kept in
custody.
The sensational arrest of the depu.
ties on October 10 was a sequel to
their signature of resolutions demand
ing an investigation into the disap-
pearance of Senator Dominguez and
warning the provisional president that
il he did not guarantee their immuni-
ty from arrest they would hold their
sessions somewhere else.
