THE CASE OF FERRER

Speeches Delivered by the Ex-Cabinet Minister, Ecmo. Sr. D. Juan De La Cierva Y Peñafiel, in the Chamber of Deputies During the Sessions of the 31st Mach and 4 Th. And 5 Th. Of April, 1911When they say that the judge of Mataro prosecuted Fe rrer on coming to the conclusion that there were signs of guilt of the crime of stirring up rebellion and say that he only demanded pesetas bail on remanding him the p son, they say a thing contrary to what appears in the trial itself, because the judge remanded him the prison without bail, the bail of 2.00011esetas only referring te his civil res ponsibility. Is this a significant detail? This gentlemen is an error on their part but with one error, and then with another, and another, there begins to form that fundamental error against which we ought te protest.When they say that it is completely proved by summary of the days previous to July 26th, that Ferrer was not in Bar celona, they pass over the fact that on page 80 of this trial their appears the deposition of inspector Carbonell, who says he saw him on the nights of the 23rd. And 24th. Of July in Bar celona. Yet they say as a positive fact that no one, absolutely no one, said in the trial that Ferrer was there before the 26th, I do not now speak of other days further removed from the 26th, of these I will speak later
