TOKYO, August 15.-A particular

be introduced in the session Of tire
Diet which has just opened, is that
providing for ownership by foreigners

Gen. VILLA ISSUES Death Of Carlos
MANIFESTO TO HIS Felix Diaz Now In
men URCEL0YAlN vestigated In Court
Especial TO "The Oasis")


CITY OF MEXICO, Aug. 14.-The
recent tragedy at the Hotel Reforma
II Lis capital, which caused Ele
deatr of Carlos Felix Diaz, a journal
lst and federal official, well and wide
ly known in Mexico and the region
along the international border, has
cautcd a profound sensation in all
social circles. All activities of the
police department of the city, and of
the court having jurisdiction, have
beer exercised in an attempt to solve
the mystery involved. The judge
presiding over the court is Lie. David
Fernandez Jauregui.
Yesterday morning Judge Jaure-
gui's court was engaged in an inves-
tigaticn of the tragedy. The public
prosecutors office was represented
by two agents, and Licenciado Soto
mayor was retained by the family of
the deceased to assist the prosecution.
Mage a]ena Jurado, the young woman
accused of the crime OF murder, was
Represented by Lie. Jaun MarmolejO.
In investigation of the details of
the tragedy there was planned re-
constr uction of the circumstances
leading up to it, ad evidence adduced
drew out two theories. One that
Miss Jurado killed her lover in a
Jealous rage, the other that Diaz's
death was really a suicide. Between
these two theories and the vagueness
of a rart of the testimony, the case
is enveloped in profound mystery.
Magdalena Jurado, who is accused
of the murder of her paramour, ap-
peared in court exquisitely dressed,
and she gave close attention to the
testimony given. 1t was manifest
trat she was agitated very deeply,
and she had recourse to her hand
| kerchief frequently, in orde to
staunch her tears, while occasionally
she was unable to repress sob.
The court seemed greatly impress
ed with the intricacy of the evidence
adduced, and declared keen deter
nina ion to arrive at just explana-
tion o. the apparent mystery.

A SYMPATHETIC PUBLIC

Nogales folks have read with
great interest DEGREES of the Su-
perior Court in the Leeker cases as
published in "The Oasis" exclusively.
Those DEGREES were reproduced from
the court records, and were correctly
printed in every particular. When
ever "The Oasis" goes into anything
that is of public record, it takes
particular pains to follow official
documents; and the public learned
long ago to rely upon it's accounts of
legal proceedings of all kinds.
In this connection "The Oasis" is
pleased to note that through the
ordeal she has experienced the peo-
pie of Nogales have entertained a
high regard for Mrs. Dora Katz
Leeker, the successful litigant in
these cases, and the way she has
maintained her rights has drawn adj
miration from all. She has shone
peerless as a devoted wife and fond
mother; and that she has established
her tights is a subject of general
qualification.
