the case of sanguily.
Tuesday,
December 15,
1896.
In the case instituted against Julio Sanguily y Garit, for the crime
of rebellion, part 1 of the criminal court of this superior court
(audencia), in a decree of court, dated yesterday, has ordered that
the president of the court be notified to appoint two magistrates,
who, with the three who have the cognizance of this case, Messrs.
Ricardo Maya, Juan Valdes Pages, and José Novo y Garcia, shall make
up the number of five necessary to compose the court upon the day
set down for the public hearing.
The same part has also ordered that the accused, Sanguily, he
notified to name an advocate to defend him, in view of the fact that
Don Miguel Viondi, who defended him on his previous trial, is now
himself in prison; advising him also that should he not do so, or in
case the one newly appointed does not accept the charge, the court
will name the lawyer in turn corresponding.
Wednesday, December 16, 1896.
In order to complete the full number of five magistrates who are to
compose the court on the 21st instant, order for the public hearing
(juicio oral) of this case, have also been designated Messrs. Adolfo
Astudillo de Guzman and Manuel Vias Ochoteco.
The accused, Sanguily, who was yesterday notified to appoint an
advocate to defend him, has begged the court to grant him three days
wherein to name one, for the reason that he has not received replies
from the lawyers to whom he has applied, and his situation as a
prisoner prevents him from making more active efforts in the
matter.
