GOMEZ MISREPRESENTED
Jose Frlas Arrives In Washington
With a Plan Kor the Settlement,, of
Finances on the Island and Talks
Interestingly. '':
Washington. Jan. 10. Dr. Jose TAn-
touio Frias, chairman of the finance
committe of the Cuban assembly, and
one of the leading la-wyers of the island,
has arrived in Washington and will pre
sent to the department of state a Dlan
for the settlement of the fiuanciansys
tem of Cuba. This plan includes a
. method of appropriating certain reve
nues toward the paymeut of the Cuban
soldiers when they aru disbanded and
other nnaucialiueasDres for the relief
01 me -poor.
Dr. Frias is u leading candidate for
.uo BijuiuinMMii or ctiiet justice, aU
-though it is skirted that his mission in
Washington, t this time is not to fur
ther his candidacy for that office, "hut U
solely for the purpose of presenting hia
financial plans. . .

...'Already General Brooke has sur

that for the present intervention is

"General Gomez has been grossly mis
represented in a great many respects.
I have reason to know that he is not
; aht American, as has been charged
against him. The statements that he
has opposed ' American intervention,' I

false. General Gomez is a true patriot;
he has made as many sacrifices as any
man i.yiug or aeaa lor tbe cause of Cu

lam m no way belittling the- grand

This was the fourth trial of the noted
murderer, who shot and killed Mrs.
Allen the aged mother of GWge Allen,
and Miss Ruth Slack, Mr. Allen's wife's
SrV THe double killin? occurred on
New Years ere, 1806, while the Allen

in the neck. The murderer then shot
Mrs. Allen and Miss- Slack, killing the
former instantly and inflicting a wound
on the lamer which resulted in her
death
Flanaean was t-rioA a t

-t- piea rnat tne prisoner
was insane at the time of the trial, and
therefore ought not to be tried In t'hia

mentally able to go into a trial.
s A few weeks later Flanagan-was tried
w e main issue, tne murder of the
two women, and his attorneys set up
the plea that he was insane at the time
mo crime was commuted, and therefore
ought to be sent to an asylum. The
u 'lauagan guiltv of murder
and he was sentenced to be hanged
Flanagan counsel appealed iboth
cases, and in the second case the su
preme court held that Judge Candler
had erred in not charging the jury oh
the law of insanitv. ?
Last summer Flanagan was tried tor
the third time, the jury found him
gmlty of,mnrder, and-he was again sen
tenced to be hanged. Another appeal
was taken and the supreme, court the
second time reversed the decision of the
lower oonrt. holding that it was wrong
to have forced a trial when defendant's
leading counsel was sick and that one
ef the jurors had disqualified himself by
remarking before the trial that Flana
