Telegram from Queretaro to San

June 18, 1867:
TO His Ercellency Sebastian Lerdo
de Tejada.
Having arrived at Qucrotero to-
day learned the three prisoners
condemned on tho l4th, died morally
on Sunday last, and all the world
consider it SO, for all their prepara-
ticns for death having been made,
they expected, everyinstant, during
o whole hour, to be carried to the
place in which they should receive
death before the order to suspend
execution could be communicated
by means Of tho telegraph.
Tho humane customs of our age
do not allow that after having suf-
fered that terrible agony, they
should be made to die second time.
In the namo then of humanity
and Of Heaven, | coniure you that
you order that their lives be not
taken; and I again repeat to you
that an certain that my sovereign,
II M, the King of Prussia and all
the monarchs of Europe, united by
the bonds of blood with the Prince
prisoner, namely: his brother, the
Emperor of Austria his cousin, the
Queen of the British Empire; his
brother-in law, the King of the
Belgians, as we'll as his cousins, the
Queen of Spain and the King of
Italy and Sweden, will readily agree
to give to His Excellency, Benito
Juarez, full security that none of
the three prisoners will ever again
stand on Mexican territory.
