stood at the end TO the Plaza Oene, others at
the corner of the Para de Prn, the Gale de HerOs,
and the CosanillO de los Angeles. One man. it is said,

the details OF the event, and receiving the con-
ordinations the thousands who hOcked TO the Palace
The Civil Governor and his secretary, who jumped out
of their carriage at the first shot rushed unared the
assassins and aided materially in the capture OF the

time Of the attack and in the combat Some Of them
