From Presidency to Prison

In the whole history of turbulent South American politics, there Is no more dramatic story than that of the aged President Augusta 5. Leguia who was overthrown by a revolution in August, 1030. Two years before Leguia had been host to President Hoover when the latter visited Peru on his South American tour.
 At one end of Lima's broad Jiron Union Is the government palace, its ancient walls pock- marked by the bullets of bygone revolrtions, where for II years Augusta Leguia ruled as Peru's soft-spoken but heavy-handed dic- tator.
 At the other end is Peru's na- tional penitentiary, with It's mas- sive doors of furnished copper, where the withered ex-president was confined for nearly two years until death released him.

Jailed-and Forgotten

Leguia was placed aboard war ship and started for exile. A sud- den change of plan by the govern ment resulted in the warship being recalled to port by wireless, and Leguia was imprisoned in the old National Penitentiary at the other end of the street from his former palace. The charge against him was treason.
 There, until death released him in February, 1892, Leguia was con- fined like a felon, forgotten by all except his jailers. Daily he lis- tened in the silence of his narrow cell for the clamor of a revolution which would restore him to the palace, but it never came.
 Wearing faded blue dressing gown over coarse cotton night shirt, this wizened old man who had ruled the land of the Inca treasures made a pathetic figure.

Defied Firing Squad

Leguia's life ouvrivals those of the hctional characters In 0. Henry's colorful stories of Latin- American revolutions.
 Before him, Leguia's father had fought in the armies of simon Bol. ivar, South Americas liberator, for independence from Spain. At an early age Leguia entered politics and in 1908 he was elected presi- dent of Peru for the first time.
 The new executive had hardly begun his term when q revolution broke, he was dragged from the palace by mob and paraded through the streets and placed be- fore firing squad beneath Limn's great equestrian statue of the famed Bolivar in the Plaza de In- dependencia.
 There, with rifles trained on him, Leguia received the alterna- tive of signing his resignation or receiving Q hail of bullets. He did not finch and he did not sign. He held his captors in argument un- til loyal troops came to his rescue.

Then in 1919 he re. turned to Lima to drive another man out of the palace by means of q revolution and regain 1t for him. self.
 From that day until August, 1880, Leguia was dictator of Peru. No other South American ruler surpassed him in undisputed pow CT; he ran all things to suit him. self, somewhat like his iliustrious predecessor, Pizarro, whose body lay in the cathedral across the plaza in q glass coffin with the fno staple cotton of the Andes stuffed Into the dagger wound that ended his reign.

He didn't want any, but he

a dimple in her elbow which
fascinated him. He saw it now

of any Importance, nothing

the case which he had taken

so. The chances were a hun
dred to one that even in her
subconscious mind she knew
nothing of Importance, exactly
as the chances we're a hundred

she had been the Montagne's
intimate friend. Nothing, how
ever far-fetched it seemed,
could he afford to overlook.
