years they would be fighting among

Five Met Violent Deaths
Five Of those in the picture have
paid the death penalty for the part
they have taken in Mexican political
life. President Francisco L. Madero,
Jr., was the first of the number to
be executed. He was killed at the in
stigation of Victoriano Huerta, when
he achieved the overthrow of the Ma
: dero administration by the coup de
: etat Of the federal army in Mexico
City in February, 1913, setting him
self up as the provisional president OF
i Mexico by this deed. Madero was ar
rested on Huerta's orders while the
e latter was still considered loyal to the
Mexican president. He was held prisr
oner for two days when he ordered
8 by Huerta to be transferred from thi.
0 prison in Chapultepec castle to tn
5 penitentiary. It was while he was be
h ing transferred to the prison late a
night that Huerta's agents shot hin
d and the vice president of Mexico, JOS
II Pine Suarez to death, and Huert;
made the claim that Madero sympa
thiZers had attempted to rescue hin
from his guards.
