PUNISHMENT TO BE
DECIDED SHORTLY
Slayer Of PreSident.EleCt 0bre.
eon Will Know Fate

Mexico City, July 80 UP)-Pun-
ishment for Jose DE Leon Toral. ad-
mitted slayer of President ELECT
Alvaro Obregon, probably will be
decided soon.
Toral. with all the others who
were arrested after Obregon was
assassinated. will e be turned over
to custody Of the civil courts today
by the police. 1t was decided some
time ago to give Toral civil
trial instead of the customary
court martial.
General Rios Zertouche, chief of
police, also has announced he will
make public the findings of the
police in connection with the Obre-
lyon assassination, simultaneous
with turning over Toral to the
civil courts. This statement is ex-
pected some time today.
Time Indefinite
Exact time of the trial is indefi-
mite but it is expected that the hear
ing will be fastened
| While police investigation Of the
Obrtgon murder is coming to a
close, selection of the new presi-
dent of Mexico - to serve after De-
cember l. when Plutarco Gales
term expires-still is causing con-
siderable difficulty.
The extraordinary session of
congress, called some time after
Obregon's assassination, will meet
today but it is not likely this body
uation. 1t had been assumed con-
gross would at least discuss the
presidential situation but Saturday
there was an announcement the
body would meet for only two hours.
That seemed to preclude any pos
sibility of a discussion on the sue
| cessor to Gales.
The congress was called to re-
ceive the results Of legislative
voting on constitutional reforms
that had been suggested by Gen.
eral Oregon. These reforms in
clude reduction of the number of
Deputies and changes in numerous
JudReSnlpS.
Decision against having congress
discuss the presidential situation
at this time probably was based
on belief that postponement would
aid in relieving the present ten
sion brought about by demands OF
the Soto y CANA faction of the
Obregon party.
This faction has demanded that
all laborites be ousted from gov
ernmental affairs and the group has
accused the labor party, of which
Luis Morones is head. OF psyche
logical influence in connection with
the assassination of Obregon.
To Retire
Friends of President Gales reit-
Grated that he was determined TO
retire from public life December !.
but these friends believed he might ,
submit to bling drafted for another
term as president. They pointed out
his patriotism was Of such high or
der that he might submit to serving
another term in order to prevent |
any national strife.

AL Then a Great Big Gorilla
Reached Out Of the Dark

Charles Silliza, aged -, OF IS
Franklin street. may some day be-
come a great writer of mystery
stories particularly with the "Dia
mond Dick" type if one is to Judge
from the gruesome story he con-
cocted sunday and related to Sar-
geants Feeney and Flynn at the po-
lice station
He and Alex Letitia, II, of los
Franklin street were missing since
Saturday morning. causing no little
anxiety to their parents. Both
finally made their appearance Sun
day afternoon each at his own
home and Charles related his "ex-
periences" to his brothers and par
ents. who took him to the police
station forvuestioning.
According to Charles. the boys
were victims of vicious looking men
and woman. who had locked them
up after tying their hands with rope.
which was produced by Charles at
the police station.
This is what he said happened:
About 10 o'clock Saturday morning
when he sold his last magazine to a
man on West Main street, he felt
thirsty and both boys stopped at a
yellow house Oh that street and
asked woman tor a drink OF water,
When they had their fill and were
To Ion \
closed behind them and some men,
attacked and blindfolded them. The
next thing Charles knew. he found
himself and his companion in a
shack. their hands bound with rope
They finally managed to find a way
Of escape through little window
and found themselves near SANDY
Bottom" pond and from tn, re
started for home. While trudglng
home they met a friend, one Mar
tin Mon,"ule, who had knife and
cut tn" ropes.
The Story was so we'll rehearsed.
That while Charlie was kept in an
other room and Mantaule ques-
toned. he corroboratod each state
ment made by Charles and there
seemed no doubt that Charles and
Alex had gone through Embarrassing
experience. The police however
douht'r' 90 the ,eracity of the story
decit'el 10 bring Alex to the sta.,on
and after few questions, the true
story was known.
This j" what really happened: The
boys left early Saturday morning for
Windsor ocks. which they reached
by foot and automobile rides They
slept them in a tobacco barn and
started for home Sunday, arriving
In New Iritain early before noon.
Alex went home. where the SEAT of
his pants burned for some time after
woodshed conference with his
father. When Charles found this
ont. lie Gld some quick thinking in
orlcr to avoid similar encounter
~ith his pater and the result was
the encounter" Will the woman in
tho yellow house and the vicious
looking men and the rope and the
shack AMI the little window through
which they escaped and everything.
