"The prince replied that Lopez would

my part in not revealing the conference

go out on hearing OF his execution.
"As a last resort explained that to

in the tragedy have gone beyond the

On one occasion the branded man en-

of people to whom Lopez was known.
He had no sooner seated himself than
almost simultaneously the other guests
retired from the building. One gentle

witnessed, said:

to me:
Lopez is innocent! No man guilty
Of such deed could look calmly into
tie eyes Nof men as he had just DONE
The day will come when he will be vim

A short time before his death, Colonel
Lopez wrote an open letter to General
Escobedo through one of the newspapers
of this city. urging him to let the world
know the true history of the fall of
Queretero.
The reactionary press took up the mat
