I-;i PAHO. May 22. Venustlano
Carranza, president of Mexico and .
head of the 77nd government that
country has' hnd since 1821, Was as-
sasslnnled nt 1 a, m. Friday by Col
onel Itodnlfo Hcrrera and his sol
diers nt TlaxcaHongo, Puobls, ac
cording to mcKsagan from Oen. AW
varo Obregon dated Mexico City to
day. ,
"Thero were found atx. or seven
bodies of tho men In Carranza,')
party," said tho message. "It is not
stated whom thfso men might he."
Iteports given out by thn revolu
tionists said Carranza was assassi
nated by his pwn men. Ilerrera was
described ns An ex-federal officer,
lie was once an officer in the Mex
ican army under President Diaz,-,-who
was forced to floe in 1911.
Carranza was mado a prisoner
and "cowardly assasslnatad" at the
cry of "viva Obregon," by Colonel
Hoiloirn Ilerrera and Ills men, vio
lating tho hospitality offered to him
hy Ilerrera, according to a message
from Carranzu'n chief followers to
Oon, Pablo Oonzalez, quoted In Ob
regon's mcssago to revolutionary
agents here.
Obregon answered In scathing
terms. Ho declared If tho Carranzs,
followers, who signed themselves,
numbering morn than 30 men and
Including duiin Ilnrrugon, chief of
staff, Ignncln Ilnnlllas, former am
bassador to tho United States, whose
candidacy for tho presidency brought
on tho latest revolution, and other
prominent leaders "had dlod defend
ing your chief, you would bo at rest
with your consciences and escaped
thn shame of your cowardice," Ob
regon told thn Cnrranclstas they
wero sufficient In nuinbor to have
done their duty, "to have saved
Carranza's life, If as you state, he
was assassinated."
First repoit of the assassination
of Cnrranza was filed by Obfcgon
Friday night. Thn mtraiugo did not
touch hero until today. Jin said:
"Hdvo Just received tho following
nicnnago from Tfuauchlnango, Pueb
la, nlgned by Col. U. Hornandoz:
"Ochoral Marlel advises me) from
Villa Juarez thnt thn troops of tha
ex-federal officer Hodolfo llerrero
killed President Cnrrunza nt 1 a. in.
nt a plnca called Tlaxealtenango.
Thero wero found six or seven more
bodle of tho mort In Carranza's
party. It In not stntcd who these
men might hn. I will wlrn later. Ho.
ilolfo llerrero surrendered last
March to Oennr.il Marlel nnd had
been nn officer tinder Oon oral Pa
laez.' "
ltnvolutlonlsts today were eager In
(heir attempts tn show Carranza waa
not killed by revolutionists, but "hy
his own men "
Tho department of propaganda
and Information at Nogalos sent a
messngn to the commercial agent of
tho do facto govornmeut hero, urging
thnt thn news bo given to tho press
with particular stress on "the fact
that tho. happening occurred far
nway from tho fold of operation of
our forces."
From tho wording of tho Obregon
telegram, skepticism was expressed
hero by many persons In eloso touch
with tho situation concerning the af
filiations of llerrero. Thn anxiety nf
tho Mexicans on this point was laid
to tho concern over what the attl
tudo of tho I'nlted Htates might bo
If the reported assassination was laid
tn thn revolutionists.
