DEATH SUSPECTS
TO ESCAPE LAW?
COrOner's Jury Returns An Open Yer.
diet in the Alleged Murder Of
Domingo Castro.
STATES ATTORNEY on HAND
Declares That Crime of Which Men
are Accused Must Be Specified
i'm the Findings.

After evidence had been accumulat-
ed which seemingly established the
guilt of Andres Gonzalez and Manuel
Bielma. the two Mexicans held in con-
nection with the death of Domingo
Castro, the inquest this morning
closed in an unexpected way when the
corOner's jury returned an open YER
dict. Castro was brutality murdered in
East Moline last week. The coroner
with the aid of the sheriff's Office be-
gan at once the search for evidence
which would lead to Identification OF
the murderers.
The jury summoned to inquire into
the death of the Mexican held several
sessions. 1t was announced by au-
thOrities that the men suspected of
committing the murder were being en-
tangled in a mesh of evidence and the
state would be furnished with strong
case. 1t is said that $500 has been
spent in conducting the investigation.
Now it would seem, as the result OF
friction or misunderstanding between
county officials, the murderers are to
go unpublished.
Gonzalez and Bielma were named i'll
a tentative verdict formed by a cor
Oner's jury in the East Moline police
station last evening, and in the same
verdict the recommendation was made
that the two be held to the grand jury.
The verdict did not specify on what
charge, however. merely recommend
ing that they be held.
States Attorney Thompson was
present and insisted that the words
held for murder or manslaughter," be
incorporated into the verdict.
Members of the cOroner's jury re-
fused to take the responsibility of &C
Cusing the two MeXiCans of murder
The result was the jury return practi-
cally an open verdict and the men sus-
pected of the crime had to be released
DR.. r. c. J. Meyer, coroner, says if
anything is done now it will have to
be by the states attorney. The cor
Oner says he has washed his hands
of the matter. The sheriff's office is
in the same frame of mind.
But at noon today States Attorney
Thompson had taken no action and he
said that it was probable that the
suspects would be rearrested.
Meanwhile, a general exodus of all
MeXicans living in Moline and East

continued until Saturday, July %, and
Lowe was held under $4,000 bonds,

Mrs. Lebre spent a bad night. For

The arm is terribly inflamed and
she was in extreme pain through a
major portion of the night. Besides the

THE VERA CRUZ INCIDENT AND THE A
B. C. MEDIATION-Result of the Arbitration
By JAMES D. WHELAN

In this, the closing article of this
series, it would perhaps be well to
recapitulate, in order that we may see
the ground covered. We have seen the
criticism implied in the sheer that we
went to Mexico to get an apology for
an insult to the flag and failed to Sc
cure it to be idiotic, since Huerta
whose followers were responsible for
the insult, fled the country, and those
who had been fighting him could not
be held responsible for his wrong do
ing. We have further seen that no
American tradition was violated in ar
bitrating the question of firing a sa-
Lutte, after a demand for such salute
had been made, as President Grant,
under circumstances as provoking, had
entered into negotiations on that very
question and finally agreed to forego
the salute which he demanded, and
which under international law he was
entitled to demand. We have further
seen that in acting on the suggestion
of the A. B. G. powers that we arbi-
trate the question, we were proceed
ing according to the principles of the
Bryan peace treaties which we had
signed with thirty nations. Finally,
we have seen that these treaties
adopted by so many nations were the
elimination of sixty-five years of eff
fort on the part of great American
statesmen of all parties, and that so
far from being the means of weaken
ing us in the respect of the world, the
very fact that so many other nations
entered into those treaties, was it.
self a proof that they offered long
sought solution for some of the vexed
questions of diplomacy.
But" it will be objected by the wise
man on the street, didn't the fact that
we agreed to arbitrate this matter give
the impression to the people to the
