NOT EVIDENCE ENOUGH DOL'IIT CAST ON THE STATEMENT OF THE CM! AS FISCAL. Case Agrninst Neely Probably Weak, or Efforts Woulil Not He Mntle t Secure American Witnesses. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON. July 24. The statement from Havana of the Cuban fiscal, or prosecuting attorney, that he has evidence sufficient to convict Ncely Is received here with doubt. Why, if he has evidence enough. to convict, dofs he not tro ahead and do it. Is the inquiry of a War Department otficial. It in believed that a part of the evidence necessary to convict Necly can be had only from American witnesses now in the United States. They cannot be compelled to K0 to Havana and testify against Necly. An effort will be made, it is said, to secure this evidence, but it is by no means certain it will succeed. The very fuct that the Cuban judges sent letters Inquisitional to tills country Is taken as proof that sufficient evide nee does not e xist in Cuba to convict, else why send thc.e letters here? They are in the nature of depositions and as Neely would not be confronted by those answering the epuestlons nor have an opportunity to cross-examine the letters against him, it would be contrary to American law. The Cuban Judges have expla'ned that th s letters could not, under the Cub: n law, be used against Neely in his trial, but are wanted to secure ground for an accusation against Necly. Lut what purpose would be served by accu?ing him on the strength of statement? that could not be used against him at his trial unUsa those who nude them would po to Havana and testify in person? it Is not known whether the depositions can be secured. Those whoe testimony Is regarded as necessary will be aFked to state wiiat they know. If they do ho their answer will b. sent to Havana. If ihey decline, the Cuban court will be notified of that fact. But. as pointed eut. the depositions will be vseless tor the purpose of a trial unless tho witnesses will go to Havaru and there testify in person. How they can bo compelled to go there no one feem? to know. The most the officl ils of the War. or Justice departments will say is that they now believe Netly will be brought to trial at an early day, but they decline to nr.rne the day. PELL FROH A WINDOW.
