Washing ton, d. c. July s.-Miss

Copies of the letter received to-day by
members of the diplomatic corps, state
that when legally constituted gov

proofs of her assertion. Miss Carranza
! is in San Antonio. Texas

| hospitabe country, since my country
is deprived of the liberty Of speech, by
the ruling militarists and there is no
responsible government She said she
has the clothing her father wore when
he was killed, showing the blood stains
and the seven bullet holes. The state
ment made officially in Mexico City
that Carranza committed suicide. a.
well as the charge that Herrero killed
Carranzs because of the execution OF
Herrero's father was belittled by the
daughter, who wrote:
"Herrero peacefully walks the streets
of the city of Mexico, lives at an OK
pensiye hotel and goes TO the theatres
with the principal men implicated in
the revolution, while General Francis

in obedience to their duty, accompanied
my father, are held, against all human
and moral law, in prison ncommuni.

ing how to be soldiers of honor"

Aware Obregon is the one responsible
for the death OF my father.
Messages and other proofs, which
exist. show he was the only one who
instructed Herrera TO have the presi.
