[Received 3.52 p.m.]
3339. Jenkins advises that he was released from penitentiary at midnight last night without being informed as to the reasons therefor. He stated that he is investigating and will report.
Today’s Democrata published a telegram from Puebla stating that Jenkins obtained his liberty through a check for $500 on the Guarantee Trust Company drawn by J. Salter Hanson, an American citizen, and that Mr. Hanson was the one who requested Jenkins release on bail and made all arrangements. Democrata also published a telegram addressed to that paper by the attorney general of Puebla stating Jenkins was released after 1,000 pesos had been deposited.
