TIA JUANA. Lower California, July
30.-The acquittal of former Chief of
Police Zenaido Llanos and three other
residents of Tia Juana of charges of
having drugged and attacked Clyde
and Audrey Peteet here last February
was the signal for an informal cele-
bration last night when the jury re.
turned a, verdict after celebrating for
about two hours.
The alleged attack resulted in the
suicide of Thomas Peteet, his wife and
their daughters at San Diego after
the family had visited the Mexican
race track town.
The basis for the charges was con-
tanned in death notes left by mem.
bers of the family.
Jose Kelley, an investigation for the
Mexican Federation of Labor. testi.
fed yesterday that he had investi.
gated the character Of the Peteet
family at San Diego. Los Angeles
and Kansas City, where they had
lived, and his investigation disclosed
that the young women were indis.
Greet.
The immediate aftermath of the
trial and acquital was a round OF
conjecture among Tia Juana residents
as to how the verdict would be re.
ceived across the border The most
optimistic of these discussions resulted
in expressions that United States of.
ficials might modify international
boundary regulations to permit
visitors to remain in Tia Juana until
late at night. as was the practice
before the Peteet suicides.
Llanos, who was suspended as chief
