better than temperance through

United Press STAFF Correspondent
MEXICO CITY, July 31.-A pale
sunken-eyed young draughtsman,
Jose De Leon Toral, today awaited
trial in civil courts for the assassi-
nation of Gen. Aware Obregon-a
trial at which he will offer no de-
Tense.
Toral was given to custody of the
civil courts late Monday after he
had stood for three hours as police
heads read his confession of the
Obregon murder to a score of news
paper men.
The confession was several thou
sand words in length and told Of
how Toral had gone to confession
and then followed the president
elect to San Angela, where the muir
der occurred.
Confessed Before Deed
II am giving my life for his, "
Toral said. "Obregon's soul proba-
bly, was saved because Obregon was
a good man."
The young assassin wore a heavy
beard and his face was blanched,
his eyes were deeply sunken, but
he did not appear nervous and was
defiant as the confession was read
and as reporters questioned him.
Toral's confession said that he
went to confession to Father Jose
Jiminez the morning before the as
sassination.
Il did not mention my intention
to ~assassinate Oregon" he said.
"a confession to priest does not
consist of telling what you intend to
do, but only what you have done.
No persons and no priest planned
this crime other than myself Re
ligion was my only motive"
Police however continue to hold
number of ToraIs relatives, six
teen nuns from a nunnery presided
over by Mother Superior Conception
Acebedo De La Llata, and they are
seeking Father Jiminez, Manual
Trejo and one or two others.
Oregon Was Good Man
Treio is the man who gave Toral
the pistol with which Obregon was
killed, although Toral insisted that
Trejo did not know for what pur-
pose the gun was intended. Trejo
was accused of bombing the
chamber of deputies building sev-
eral weeks ago.
st believed Obregon was the in
tellectual author of all of Mexico's
difficulties with Gales his tool, there
fore, I was determined to assassi-
nate Obregon. He was a good man
at heart and 1 hope God has for
given him. My intentions were
good and I expected to be saved.
If have committed a great crime
God will forgive me-" ToraPs con-
fession said
