DECISION OF THE BOARD.

The decision Of the board OF special m
ouiry was. couched as follows:
I'm the course OF this examination TINS
alien has committed frequent perjury. He
has pretended to be ignorant OF matters
concerning which man of his intel
Iipenc, and holding the position which he
did undoubtedly possesses knowledge.
Sueaking of Luis Varela, who sent MIN

We consider him an unreliable witness.
His testimony to the effect that no for
eicners suffered losses through his actions
during the wears when he was President
v,o decline to believe His refusal to re-
ply TO many questions put to him bear
ing upon his right to land convinces us
tina, there exist damaging facts which he
desires 10 conceal. Upon information re-
ceived from official sources he was
charged with responsibility for the unlaw-
ful killing Of Paroles. but declined re-
neatedly to offer any explanation or give
the government any information In re-
gard TO the latter's death. He refused
either to affirm or deny his guilt, even
after he had been warned that unfavor-
able differences would be drawn from
such refusal and that he must take the
consequences. Such refusal. together
with his manner and demeanor when
asked concerning these matters, consti-
into in our opinion an admission OF the
truth of the charge He Is therefore
excluded on the ground that he has adj
mitted the commission Of a crime and
felony involving moral turpitude."
There was an appeal from this decision
