ARREST OF JENKINS
REPORTED ORDERED
Statement Denied. However, That
He Was Not Allowed to
Leave Puebla,

MEXICO CITY, Tuesday, November
ia formal order for the imprison-
ment of William o. Jenki ms, United
States consular agent at Puebla on
charges of having made false decIara-
lions and threats against poems in
case they testified they saw him at
his hacienda in company with Frede-
rico Cordova, the bandit chieftain, was
issued today by Criminal Judge Con-
Zales Franco at Puebla. according to
advices received from that city. Jen-
kins, however, IS not yet in jail and.

The exact legal status Of the Jen-
kins affair is obscure, as apparently
he is under arrest. but is free in the
city of Puebla without bail. The next
upon the officials there. as Jenkins has
given his word he will be present in
court when needed.
Assertion is made at the foreign
Office here that no formal note has
been received from the United States
demanding the release Of Jenkins,
although it is known that representa-
tions have been made to the Mexican
government regarding Sis "molesta-
ton" Charges against Jenkins thus
far seem to be based on testimony of
poems who allege they saw him in
company with Cordova, but newspa-
pers publish stories to the effect that
there was coercion on both sides,
which will probably be developed if
Jenkins succeeds in securing a formal
trial on allegations that he conspired
with the bandit chieftain for his own
abduction.
The acting minister of foreign af-
fairs at Mexico City has informed the
American embassy that the state au-
thorities at Puebla had been instruct
ed not to modest william o. Jenkins,
the American consular agent, who re-
Gently was arrested on charges of COL
fusion in connection with the kidnap-
ing by bandits. Jenkins was released
after his arrest, but restricted to his
home.
