Americans Released

Mexico City, December BY appeal
ing directly to General Huerta today,
Nelson O'Shaughnessy, American charge
d'affaires, obtained from him almost inn
mediately unequivocal consent to the re-
lease of the Americans now in Jail, whose
liberation has long been delayed by legal
maneuvering. The men ordered. set free
by General Huerta are II. j. Kidder,
William I<rauz and John Parker.
1t developed apparently that General
Huerta had known nothing of the incar-
ceration of the men or efforts that had
been made by Mr.. O'Shaughnessy to pro-
cure their release. Made impatient by
the long series of evasions and excuses
given him from other quarters, O'Shaugh-
messy risked incurring the displeasure of
minor officials and found Huerta ap-
parently willing and anxious to demon
state by the order for release his lnten-
tion to indulge in fair play.
