The system of policing the streets at night was explained to me, the manner of arrest, the absolute authority given to the jefe politico in the rural dis- tricts, — an execution first, and an inves- tigation afterwards, — the necessity for such prompt action in a country abound- ing in bandits, the success of the govern- ment in suppressing the evil, etc. In Pitehla de los Angeles 149 " And are the crimes confined wholly to the country districts ? " I asked. " Are your cities safe ? " " General...ly, yes. Occasionally there is a murder among the lower classes of the people. It is not always for booty ; re- venge for some real or fancied injury often prompts it. " " Has there been any particularly bru- tal crime committed here lately ? " I asked carelessly, skirting the edge of my preci- pice. " Not exactly here. There was one at Atlixco, a small town a few miles west of here, but the man escaped. " " Have you captured him ? " " Not yet. There was a man arrested here a few days ago, who is now await- ing examination.
