Judge- Gonzales Medina of the Mexi-! can federal court here tkis afternoon. The sentence was not carried out i'-. was said because the attorney for An- ^ gales appealed to the federal court at Juarez) and the supreme court of ^ Mexico ?t Mexico City for ? rt?y of ' execution by applying for a writ of habeas corpus. " ' ' ? xne Juarez court denied the appeal, Judge Medina holding his court had no jurisdiction and the supreme court was the only tribunal which could act. j Besides the supreme court, President ^ Carranza also could save the con- , t condemned man with a pardon. It was said by court officials that if ? the supreme court grants the application it simply means that the court will only review the proceedings of the courtmartial and that if no errors ^ are found it will mean carrying out of the sentence unless Carranza inter- , venes . Carranza already has many ^ petitions seeking clemency for General Angeles.
