KILLING OF MADERO.
Bloody Scenes in City Of Mexico
Reign of Terror.

A reign of terror has been maugu'
rated in Mexico. Francisco 7. Maderc
and Pine Suarez, deposet: President
and Vice President of the republic
have fallen-shot down IN cold blood
during midnight ride from the Ma
!ional Palace to the peniientiary.
Felix Diaz's ;hreat of Saturday
night. 1--WE will use such energetic
means as to put an end to rebellons
forever" has been followed by swift
execution.
Murder and anarchy have been LEI
loose to cement the work Of the rev
olution. The Maderistas and all
other opponents of the military dy-
nasty which has been established arc
to be exterminated. Opposition to
he Diaz-H uerta regime is to bs
drowned in blood. Martial law alone
prevails. The jails are being filled
with suspects. There are rumors Of
other official assassinations.
The official explanation of Hladeros
assassination and Suarez's is twofolc
and contradictory. Gen. Nic:orlanc
Huerta, the provisional President
swcars that the killing was lncldenta
to an attempt to rescue the two de,
posed officials.
Francisco de la Barra declared thu
it was because the two men ATTEMPTED
to escape. Neither will make def
mite statement 1t is impossible tc
obtain information as to which side
began he firing-from which slds
came the fatal shots.
Pending a full investigation of the
circumstances surrounding the killing

Richmond, Feb. 24.-Considerablee
suppressed excitement exists in the
West End as the result of n sensa-
tional exit from a window made by n
citizen of that section Of the city 4
night or two ago to save himself from
an Infatuated husband, who was
thought TO be on hi, way to, q South.
.ern city, but who, as matter o.
t.,fact, had ,ulreptitiously returned
from the station and had, climbed into
his home by means Of ladder.
! The interloper undoubtedly saved
his life by his sudden and unorthodoN
leave taking, bua he so seriously in
jured himself that ne was unable t.
escape until he had been fully recog-
niZed
/ What the consequences will be arc
not yet fully known, though it is said
thht divorce sui. will soon be filed
and along with it damage suit for

1t appears that the husband had
for some time suspected that some
one was paying attention TO his wife:
and his wife was receiving hei
caller with considerable regularity.
The matter had become, it is said.
neighborhood gossip, and The hus-
band decided to prove or disprove the
charges.
He consequently announced thai
he had received word calling him Out
Of town. The business was impera-
tive, he said, and he would in al
likelihood be out of the city several
days He packed his suitcase and
went down to the station, but instead
Of taking the train quietly returned
70 his nome.
BY means of ladder he climbed
up on the outside of the house anG
was able to look into his wife's apart
mems. The night was rather dark
but there was a dim light. He saw
that his wife was MOI atone, and gen
cral appearances so Infatuated him
that he ut once raised the window and
,eaped into the room.
The woman's guest, taken entirely
by surprise, attempted to rush from
the room, but the husband, fully pre-.
pared TO any emergency, was between
him and the door. The man, it Is
aid, broke the glass out of window
with a chair and jumped.
He struck in the yard or grass plot
