TRIAL WILL
Be OPEN To
THE PUBLIC
Two Were Indicted For
Helping to Conceal the
Crime.
Such Is the Charge After
Preliminary Hearing OF
the Accused.
Nv United Press Leased Wire

san DIEGO, Calf, June 25.-
Bound over following a review Of
more than 100 pages Of evidence,
four Mexicans held in connection
with the shame suicides of
Thomas NJ. Peteet, his wife and two
daughters, will face a trial by jury
in Tijuana. Mexico, between July
) and 10, Judge 5. Crias announced
today.
Zenaido Llanos, former chief of
police in the border resort, and Luis
Amador, proprietor of the Oakland
bar, where the two Peteet girls were
drugged and piled with drinks, have
been charged jointly with rape and
indecent assault. Francisco Con
zalcs. policeman, and Refugio Alva-
rez. barkeeper, have been indicted
for helping to conceal crime, 1t
was officially announced today.
Through an interpreter error,
the trial yesterday was declared to
be already under way at the border
town. Judge Urias declared today,
however, that his review of the evil
dence taken at the time of the ar
rest Of the quartet, corresponded to
a preliminary hearing and that the
trial which will determine the guilt
or innocence of the men will open
early next month.
Six Year Term
The offense of indecent assault,
with which the former police chief
and saloon proprietor are charged,
of six wears in prison and from 500
to $500 fine. The penalty for rape,
under the Mexican law. is four
wears III prison and a maximum fine
of $500. Helping to conceal an
Others crime, the basis of the
charges against Gonzales and Alva-
rez, is comparatively a light of
fensc, the Mexican jurist explained.
Conviction or acquittal can be
returned by a majority of seven OF
the nine jurors who will be selected
from Il venirc of so qualified voters
to be named by Mayor FREDERICK
Palacio.
Trial to Be Public
Despite provision which Will
permit the trial to be held behind
closed doors, Judge Urias told the
United Press today that the trial
will be public and an invitation
has been extended to American
newspapermen to attend the pro-
ceedirGs.
~ shall set aside my privi-
lege.' Urias said, ''because | want
my American friends to see and nm
dcrstand that we mete out justice
here in Mexico for the same crimes
as YOU do across the line
If convicted and sentenced to
prison the men will be confined at
ii ,Juana or Mexicali or sent to the
penal colony maintained by the
Mexican government off the Lower
California coast. The matter or
where prisoner is confined rests
with Governor Abelardo Rodriguez,
Judge Urias explained.
