They decided to hang him up
Jagat-chaksur das: So the first devotees who went to preach to Venezuela, they were from America and Canada; and from Canada was Hanuman Goswami at the time. He went to preach at the university, and he didn't know that most of the students were Communist and Marxist. So he started to preach against atheism and Communism, and a big discussion happened and the students became very disturbed by his opinion. So they became so disturbed that they decided to hang him up. He was practically speaking running for his life.
So this lawyer, his name is Bolivar, he was passing through with his car through the university, and he saw an orange-robed man running and so many people behind him shouting very angrily at him. So he stopped his car and opened the door. So the devotee, he ran and jumped in the car, and in this way he practically speaking saved the devotee's life.
My feeling is that because of that, he continued to have a relationship with the devotees and finally even with Srila Prabhupada himself. Actually, he was going every day to the morning walks with Prabhupada. One day he could not come for some urgent business. Prabhupada, as soon as he walked out of the car, asked for him, "Where is the lawyer?"
