Miranda, J. Antonio Artiles, Enrique and Adolfo Vargas, Agusín Ruiz and Gabry Rivas. All of the accused persons have presented bail and are at liberty. The charge against Gabry Rivas has been modified to an attempt against personal liberty and the firing of a weapon at the person of General Moncada. He was originally charged with frustrated homicide.
