Shieh brought about the death at
q Mexico City Of Alvaro obregon.
A creature that is often, in his
tory, the outgrowth Of political turb-
ulence.
The tragedy had none of TIE ear
marks of conspiracy.
1t was not done in the lark.
II was not done in the absence Of
witnesses. There we're hundreds
present.
A band was playing. Honors we're
being bestowed upon the next presi-
dent of Mexico.
