10RAL MUST DIE
BY rifle SQUAD
Catholic Nun Gets % Years for
Killing 0brsson

Mexico City. Nov. 2 (UP)-The
mad young draughtsman who assas-
smated General Aware Obregon.
president.eiect Of Mexico, must face
firing squad: and a nun of the
Roman Catholic church accused of
intellectual authorship" of the plot
must spend 20 years in prison.
FOslAd Guilty
A fury last night found Jose De
Leon Toral guilty of killing the
presideht-elect and he yas sentenced
to death before the firing squad.
The same jury found Mother Con-
cepcion guilty Of being the intellec-
tual author of the crime and
sentenced her TO 20 years in prison
the most extreme penalty that can
be given a woman in Mexico.
Both were prepared for the
sentence.
Toral, just before the verdict was
read. looked out over the small
crowd OF newspaperlhen in the court
room and said:
II expect nothing but death but
hope when l am dead that the
people will forget their hatred"
He rode away from the presiden-
tial office In San Angel in a motor
car, his arm draped around the
driver of the car. towards the peni.
tertiary. A smile lighted his rather
wan face. Once he sighted friend.
He waved cheerfully.
Looks Downward
The nun. riding in motor car in
the rear, was wistful. She looked
downward. just as she had when the
verdict was returned and paid little
attention to tibet staring eyes of the
crowd which lined the streets.
There was quiet in the court room
when the verdict was returned
against this young man who con-
fessed to killing the popular former
president. Both sat motionless. Tor
al moved his lips slightly, moistening
them with his tongue. as the Judge
read his verdict that Toral should
die before q firing squad. ~
The nun looked down. She made
no motion an her face was almost a
mask.
Five Days TO Appeal
Toral must be killed by a firing
squad. according to the verdict. The
defense has five days to appeal to
the higher court and this alread.' rs
assured. Should this appeal fail the
case will be appealed to President
Plutarco Gales for clemency.
1t was in the little Bombilla cafe
in San Angel that Obregon was kill
ed last July. He had just been
elected president Of Mexico, for his
second term, by a great plurality.
The general and a few Of his
friends gathered in the cafe to talk
over the political situation. the COM
plcXion Of the national congress. and
the various situations confronting
the government Of President Gales.
The cafe was gay and a stringed
band was playing typically tropical
tunes. The group about Obregon's
table enjoyed the scene tremendous
ly.
A wandering artist appeared. He
showed caricature OF Obregon3

of the Nation, the affections of the peo-

day. For this happy condition Of affairs

credit.
| America has no desire to acquire

| believes in cultivating her present pos
