REPLY IS EXPECTED TODAY TO AMERICAN NOTE ASKING RELEASE OF JENKINS
---------------------
By The Associated Press
Washington, D. C., Nov. 24 – State department officials expected a reply today to the American note demanding the immediate release of William O. Jenkins, the American consular agent at Puebla, who was arrested last Tuesday on additional charges in connection with his abduction by the bandits.
A hearing on the Jenkins case was received yesterday at the Mexican embassy, and it was assumed that this was Mexico’s reply. While there has been no indications as to Mexico’s attitude, a refusal to release the consular agent would not come as a surprise.
The American demand was delivered to the Mexican foreign office last Wednesday, but as late as last Friday Jenkins still was held at Puebla, and, so far as the state department has been advised, he has not been released yet.
