SAYS Jury INDICTED
GOVERNOR FOR GRAFT
Porto Rican Commissioner Takes
Issue With E. Mont Reily's
Statement.

Felix Cordova Davila, resident COM
missioner Of Porto Rico, issued q
statement yesterday in reply to one
made public yesterday by Gov. E. Mont
Reilly at New York. in which Mr..
Reilly made reference to the indict-
ment of Jose E. Benedicto. insular
treasurer, whom he had removed from
office.
Declaring that the governor had
constantly assailed the most proni-
nent leaders In Porto Rico. Mr.. Davila
added:
"He CReily) maliciously says that
Hon. Jose E. Benedicto. who is an
indicted by a grand jury in Porto
Rico, but he falls to state the role he
himself played in this indictment. the
nature Of the accusation and that Mr..
Benedicto was entirely exonerated OF
the unjust charges against him. E.
Mont Reilly ought to examine his con-
science very carefully when he speaks
of the indictment against a man like
Mr.. Benedicto. whose honesty cannot
be impeached by man like Gov
Reilly, who has been indicted in Porto
Rico for graft"
The statement took issue with the
governors statement that he had
been exonerated by the lower court
and by the unanimous vote of the
Supreme Court.
This Is a matter of record" Mr.
Davila continued, land to verify his
assertion the governor ought to pre-
sent the decisions of the Supreme
Court.
Porto Rico is entitled to have de-
cent and honest administration, and E.
Mont Reilly Is not the man to carry out
this purpose.
