l.. New Charges NsA~.
While authoritative Information -
to the, attitude of the Mexican gov
eminent is lacking. all indications here
pointed to a technical refusal to order
the release of Jenkins.
Since his arrest. il was learned. aA-
ditional charges aeainst the Ameri-
can official have been formulated.
based upon alleged evidences that he
actively assisted persons in rebeiling
against the Carranxa government
Payment OF a large sum of money to
the rebels. which was used by them

! collusion with rebel readers. are sSio
TO be specific counts" in the new in
dictments.
What was regarded as a hint of
Mexico's position in the Jenkins case
was noted in an article published by
the Mexican Newspaper Excelsior. .
A ~ k<k
yesterday. The paper stated spectn-
cally that jenkins second arrest Wa
based upon charges that he actively
assisted the rebels.
! The certain sum of money" which
jenkins Ia accused of delivering to
the retcls consisted OF the 500 eco
pesos he was compeAed to pay,as ran-
som to Federico Cordoba the rebel
whose forces kidnaped him.
| Paid to Save Life.
The collusion charged Ia based upon
the fact that Jenkins agreed to pay
the rebel leader the ransom in ordsr
to save his life and gain his liberty.
Contrary to cuAtom In Mexican
courts. the proceedings in TIE Jenkins
case on the occasion OF his second
arrest were marked with the ptmose
secrecy. jenkins was summoned to
court where he WAS placed under ar
,rest. His plea for bail was refused
by Judge Gonzales Franco on account
Of the gravity OF the offense."
In every particular the proceedings
were secret, asd court ateAches were
warned that they would Be dismisseA
and otherwise punished IL any facts
