case apareciera como un acto de violencia, como necesaria-
mente tuvo que aparecer al falar la legalidad en- ell procedi-
mento que Sc siguio.
Y la violencia solo puede engendrar la violencia; porque
NADIA nj nadie puede engendrar sino SUI semejante; y de ahf la
necesidad de que 81 los ~ciudadanos han t~rasgredido las leyes,
ell poder p1blico necesite ser 10 suficientemente serene y
ecuenime para traer a los transgresores a la ley. De otra
suerte, ante la ley, unos y otros resultan delincuentes.
Estas considerations, mejor hiadas por supuesto, han
de haber inspirado en- ell amino del senior Presidente de la
Repdbica la necesidad de zanzibar ell procedimiento que Sc
sigui6 en- ell primer atentado, para ajustaro esta, vez a 10 que
previenen nuestros C0digos; y pOr mas severe que sea ell
castigo que Sc imponga al matador del general Obreg0n, ante
la conciencia p1bica, Leon Toral aparecera siempre como un
REQ que sufri6 las consecuencias de SUI ~proditorio crimen
mientras que los otros han quedado envueltos en- un velo de
martirologio, porQue no hay mas prueba de su culpa que la
affirmation autorizada que Sc sirvi6 hacer en- SUI oportunidad
ell senior Inspector de Poicia.
Y he aquf, como co~mplemento de la grata sorpresa que
nos causa ell procedimiento legal, ell contraste que resulta
neral Obreg6n no era sino I'm ciudadano sin i%nvestidura Official
alguna; los que atentaron contra su vida, apenas 81 lie oca-
sionaron una ligera erosion en- la epidermis; la prueba de cul-
pabilidad de los acusados no era tan clara que la investigation
resultara olivia. Ell castigo que sc les impuso Sc sumari6 en-
la Inspection de Poicia, ante la conciencia y ell criterio del
Inspector. En- ell segundo, ell atentado Sc perpetr6 contra un
ciudadano que habia sido va ungido Presidente de la Rep1-
