Proof OF Murray Charges.

the deportation of Joseph DE COurcy.
formerly correspondent for the Times
In Mexico City, last August was based
upon allegations other than any con-
nection with manipulation of docu-
ments purported to have been taken
from Mexican official files.
The reason for the deportation. the
Times added, given orally. was that
De Courcy, after being denied an oil
concession, had acted very unwiseIy
and in very unfriendly fashion toward
the Mexican government Another
alleged reason was that De Courcy
had made unfounded charges of SNUG
Cling against an American.
The Times says that in answer to
these oral reasons for his deportation
De Courey said his application for an
oil concession had been made and
withdrawn in 1920 and was matter
of public record. Regarding the
smuggling charge De Courcy said he
had heard of it, but knew nothing
regarding its truth or falsity
The Times says it has received no
further details regarding De Courcy's
deportation and has continued him in
its employ.
