Pressphotographerswereinvitedto takepicturesofthemurders.The photographswerecalculatedtobreak thespiritoftheCatholicoppositionto theCallespersecution.Theyreached theBritishnewspapersthroughtheregularnewsagencies.

AnamazingplottodiscreditMexican CatholicsandembarrasstheCatholics oftheworldisrevealedinamessage, publishedbelow,fromSanAntonio, Texas.

ItinvolvesafakeattempttoassassinatethenewU.S:Ambassadorto Mexico.Oneofthevictimsofthelatestexecutionwas,accordingtothis report,givenatheatricalburialtoassistthisplan. Thechargeagainstthevictimsof thelatestunconstitutionalactofPresidentCallesis(saysCatholicNews Service)thattheywereinvolvedinthe recentattemptonthelifeofex-PresidentObregon,theonlyremainingcandidateintheapproachingPresidentialelection-thetwoothercandidates havingbeenassassinatedbytheheneh; menofCalles.

Allfourdiedbravely,thepriest's conductbeingparticularlyexemplary. Headministeredthelastritestohis companions,andashefacedhisexecutionerssaidashortprayer,extended hisarmsintheformofaCross,and diedaskingGod'smercyonthosewho killedhim.

FatherMiguelAustinProjuarezwas thepriest.Theotherswerehisbrother,Humberto,LuisSeguarVilchis, andJuanTirado.Thelastnamed waschargedwithactualparticipation intheattempt. TheMexicanConstitutionprohibits theexactingofcapitalpunishmentfor politicaloffences,andthethrowingof abombatObregonwasobviouslya politicaloffence.

Itisalsoprovidedthatprisoners shallbeentitledtotrialbyjury.Yet thefourmenwereexecutedat11 o'clockinthemorning,andtheydid notknowtheirfateuntilafewhours before.Itwasannouncedthatacourtmartial.notaciviljury,condemnedthem,yettheoffencewasnot connectedwiththemilitaryservice,no ,neoftheaccusedbeinginthatservice.TrialofciviliansbycourtsmartialisforbiddenbytheConstitution.

To-daythebodiesofFatherProjuarez.hisbrother,andVilchiswereburiedinconsecratedgroundnearthe ShrineofGuadalupe.

Threeobjectswouldhesought throughthisboldstroke,saystheman whorevealedtheplot:

Third,CalleswouldhaveanotheropportunitytoroundupMexicanCatholicswhohaveppposedhimforhispersecution,andgetthemoutoftheway permanently.
