Noriega.
''Madero and Vice President Suarez

about the attempted rescue OF the

Madero, but that is the truth about
how he died.

who gave the death order" continued
Noriega. and at least Huerta was re-
sponsible for the order, because Car

THE United States Is right when

Madero.
There is a carnival OF loot in the
capital now George Huerta, the
presidents son, has made two million
dollars gold in the past year. He Is
a terrible man who has killed scores

Huerta Is fabulously rich. Urrutia

the blame on Banquet that banquet
demanded his retirement.
"Huerta is acting like an insane
man. He ought to let the last mem
Der OF his family leave the capital,

"He says The Americans won't
let me be killed. They can't recog-
nize Carranza If he kills me. because
they wouldn't recognize me after
Madero was killed
"Look out for the blow up in the
capital" concluded Noriega. "Blan-

nears the capital the army in the

Then will come a reign OF unspeak
