New York, Jan. 1">.?Gen. Don Ci? priani) Castro, former president of Venesuela, who has been detained at Ellli [aland by the immigration otti clali for more than twu weeks, today was denied admission to the United states by a special hoard of Inquiry, on the ground that in his examination he had admitted "the commission of a crime and felony involving moral turpitude." In a Statement issued by Mr. Wil? li uns. commissioner of Immigration, giving the first explanation for the detention of Castro and setting forth the findings of the board) it is charged that the former president of Venesuela "has committed frequent perjury by pretending to be ignorant of matters concerning which a man of his Intel? llgence and holding the position which he did undoubtedly possesses knowl? edge." Immediately after the announce? ment that he would not be permitted to enter tin- country, Castro declared he WOUld appe al to the secretary of commerce ami labor. Harold A. Con? tent, ac ting for George Gordon Battle, Castro's attorney, said that in event of Secretary Nagel upholding the find? ing! of the hoard, the case would he taken Into the (aun ts. Citing specific parts of Castro's ex? amination the statement of the board says: "Speaking of Louis Varcla, who sent him frequent telegrams in regard to the capture' and death of Gen. An? tonio Paradee, he says: 'Do not know Who he is.' We consider him an un rellable witness. Hll testimony to the effect that no foreigners suffered loss of property through his action during the years when he was presi? dent we decline to believe. His refu? sal to reply to many questions put to him bearing upon hli right to land convinces us that there are damaging faCtl which he desires to conceal." The statement continues with the declaration that upon Information from official sources he was charged with responsibility for the unlawful killing of Paraden, but declined re? peatedly to offer any information or to give the government any informa? tion in regard to the lattei's death. He refused either to affirm or deny his guilt, even after he had been warned that unfavorable inferences would be drawn from stich refusal and that he must take the conse? quences. ?"Such refusal," the statement says, "together with his manner and de? meanor when asked concerning these matters, constitute, in our opinion, an admission of the truth of the charge. He is, therefore, excluded on the groutfd that ha has admitted the commission cd' a crime and felony In? volving moral turpitude." In conclusion the statement says thai Gen. <'astro may appeal from the finding of tin- hoard of special in qulry through the- commissioner ?d the Immigration to the secre tary of com? merce and labor and adds that "he signified his intention of so doing." The next move- In the case will be to tile an appeal to Secretary Nagel. Mi. Battle, his assistant said, would begin the appeal at once, Tltt'KT COMPANY ELECTION.
