MEXICO CITY, Jan. 23.-Jorge
, Vera Estanola. one of the Mexican
J deputies who was arrested on
orders from President Huerta, has
been enabled to escape from Jail
and was muggled out of the city
through the efforts of O'Shaugh-
messy the representative of the
United States here.
/ O'Shaughnessy sent Estanola to
Vera Cruz where he was released
from further molestation on the
part of the Mexican officers by an
order from the court. The action
of the American representative in
interfering with the plans of
President Huerta has caused consid-
cradle comment among the officials
here and it is predicted that he will
find his usefulness destroyed.

his government admitting helping
the prisoner to escape from the city
but denies being party to the
bribery of the prison officials to
permit the prisoner to escape.

introduced having for its purpose
the recognition of the Huerta gov
