Col. Orozco's Liberty Brief.

New York Times 100 years ago today, December 26, 1912:
Freed Under Bonds, He Is Rearrested on Larceny Charge.
    SAN ANTONIO, Texas. Dec. 25.— Col. Pascual Orozco, father of Gen. Pascual Orozco, Jr., leader of the Mexican revolution in the north, was released from the military prison at Fort Sam Houston to-day under bonds of $2,500 on the charge of violating neutrality laws. He was immediately rearrested by the civil authorities on a warrant, in which the Mexican Government charges him with larceny and robbery in the State of Chihuahua.
    Col. Orozco was placed in the county jail, where he will, under the law, remain not more than forty days, in which time the Madero Government must submit evidence against the prisoner.
    Orozco, under an indictment found by the Federal Grand Jury, was placed in the military prison a month ago. A few days since his attorneys asked for a writ of habeas corpus before Federal Judge Maxey at Austin, and the court ordered Orozco's release.
