ihat Jenkins was not abducted by
Federico Cordova. the bandit leader but
was in connivance with him. according
tc information received here last night.
The arrest Of jenkins came after
twelve poems had sworn to statements
before A Judge in Pucpla Declaring that
Jenkins had been seen in company with
Cordova. who accomplished nIs recent
abduction from PuehlAsunder no restrain

Advicrs received insWsshIngtcn from
Mexico city, November 7. stated that
Consular Agent Jenkins had been clear
od of all suspicion OF completely IN his
kidnapnng by Mexican bandits on Oct
ohcr II. The Judge investigating the
abduction. the despatch added TOOK oc-
casion to praise Jenkins as a friend OF
mrmbcr Of the community in which he
had lived for number or years.
Jenkins was held for $50. .00n ransom
and the United states government de-
harding his rcleasc sent what was
said 10 have been the strongest note
tho two republics. jenkins was re-
leased on October &c. after his personal
attorney. Srnor Ncstrc. had paid the
ransom to the bandit reader.
An official statement issued in Wash
irgtun on tho abduction Of Jenkins said
that hr would have to effect his own re-
endorsement of tho money paid to the

through official sources tonight concern
ing the rrnnrted arrest OF Consular
Agent Jcnkins ut Pucbla. on charges Of
having Connivcd with the bandit who
abducted him. Officials said report
probably would reach here early to-
morrow.
Tho charges against jenkins were
characterized as "absurd' in view Of the
recent investigation by judge who de-
clarcd that the agent was not mixed up

that II was "a measure Of retaliation"
following late disclosures connecting
some Mexican authorities with radical
propaganda. and IN which the name Of
the Mexican consul general in New
York was mentioned.
