“MORAL TURPITUDE”
THE CASES OF CASTRO AND MYLIUS. (Received February 23, 5.6 p.m.) WASHINGTON, February 23. The Government has decided to contest Mylius’s and ex-President Castro’s cases in the highest courts. On January 31st it was reported that Mr Nagel, Secretary of Commerce, had finally ordered ex-President Castro to be deported from the United States on the ground that Castro flatly refused to answer a question as to whether he (Castro) participated in the killing of General Paradox during the Venezuelan insurrection. The crime was held to be nonpolitical. involving moral turpitude. On February 20th it was recorded that Judge Noyes released Mylius, the man who libelled King George, on appeal, declining to hold that a criminal libel involved moral turpitude as contemplated in the immigration laws. Judge Noyes said he wished it to be understood that he did not desire to minimise the offence of which Mylius was really guilty. MyUus declared that his release was a slap at the aristocracy of England and against all forms of monarchy.
