U. S. Consul John C. Allen, who
with his wife arrived last night,
gave a dramatic recital of their es-
cape from death by a Mexican mob
at Monterey. Allen and his wife
withstood a four days siege behind
the stone walls of crude Mexican
house at Monterey after the receipt
of the news of the American occu-
patton of Vera Cruz, while a fren-
zied mob surged outside, crying
Death to the Gringoes."
1--WE lived lifetime in those four
days." said Allen. The mob was
crazy with hatred My wife made
NE promise to kill her and then my
self if they broke through the bar
riers. We had no firearms, nothing
but a butcher knife, but I got it
ready, for I should never have al
lowed her to fall into thei- hands
alive"
At the end of the fourth day the
federal troops were driven out by
the constitutionalists and the Aliens
left the fortress" in safety.
