was that the authorities had not given
him notice Of their plan early in the
evening, so that he might have re-
NAMED up and been ready. He took
his time about dressing and preparing
for removal such things as he had
brought with him to the palace. 1t
was consequently some minutes after
II O'Clock when the party went out to
get into the two automobiles that
were waiting in the courtyard. 80
Even then, as the tale of Major Car
denas runs. Madero showed not the
slightest concern or premonition of
treachery AS though he were still
clothed with the authority of the pres
1dency, when he was about to enter
! the car set aside for him and Suarez
he gave orders that be should be TAX
en- to the penitentiary by way of Re-
loj and Lecumberri streets.
This order figures in the alibi of the
government. which holds that friends
Of Madero tried to rescue him. Major
Cardenas says that the route designat-,
ed by Madero had been decided upon
previously. but when Madero himself
chose it he told the drivers of the au-
tomobiles to take a different route.
They did not come into the one chosen
by Madero until they were within two
blocks of the penitentiary, when they
considered themselves safe from moles.

On crossing the railroad bridge, how
ever, they found that the Maderist

to be, had been holder than had been
imagined. The machines had barely

approach to the prison when five men.

car as though to halt. but was ordered
to put on all speed and run through
the attacking party. He did SO, but
when the cars were within 200 yards
OF the penitentiary a larger band open
ed fire upon them. Major Cardenas
then ordered the machines to stop. The
escort descended and returned the fire.
Major Cardenas asserts that Madero
and Suarez, seeing that their escort
was outnumbered and was apparently
busy in beating off the attacks of the
rescuers. then undertook to make their.
way toward the other side. They were
thus caught between the two fires and
SO were cut down. Examination Of the
bodies showed that they had been
pierced with bullets from both front
and back.
