PAID CUBAN MUR- DERER'S FORFEITED BOND St. Petersburg, Sept. 13.—What is perhaps the last chapter in a fam- ous criminal case was written at Clearwater Wadnesday when John 'K. Cheney and Carl Derland, of Tarpon Springs, paid into the treas- ury of Pinellas county $2,169. This money was the forfeited bond of Jose Fuentez, a young Cuban who stabbed to death a classmate at Sutherland College. The two young men were attending Sutherland, and engaged in a fight, following & quarrel. Fuentez was arrested, and as the college was in what then "was Hillgsborough county, the case was tried in Tampa. The Cuban was convicted and sentenced to five ;yeurs in the convict camp. He took an appeal of his case, and was re- leased on bond of $2,000, furnished by Messrs. Cheney and Dorland. They were guaranteed against loss, it is understood, by the family of the slayer, rich people of Cuba. Fuentez fled to Cuba shortly after his release on bond, and that is the last that has been heard of him. No effort has been made to bring him back to serve out his sentence, but it is understood that such an effort will be made shortly. SCORE BURNED IN EX.
