o) ] o N\ NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1928, TORAL MUST-DIE ~ B RIFLE SQ0AD Gatholic Nun Gets 30 Years for Obregon Mexico City, Nov. 9 (UP)—The mad young draughtsman who assas- - sinated’ General Alvaro Obregon, president-elect of Mexico, must face a firing squad; and a nun of the Roman Catholic: church accused of “intellectual authorship™ of the plot must spend 20 years in prison, Fouad Guilty ’ A fury last night found Jose De Leon Toral gullty of Kkilling the president-elect and he was sentenced to death before the firing squad. The same jury found Mother Con- cepcion guilty ofbeing the intellec- tual author of the crime and sentenced her to 20 ycars in prison —the most extreme penalty that can be given a woman in Mexico. Both were prepared for the scntence, Toral, just before the verdict was read, looked out over the small crowd of newspaperihen in the court room and said: “I expect nothing but death but I hope when I 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 druped around the driver of the car, towards the peni- tentiary, A smile lighted his rather wvan face. Once he sighted a friend. He waved cheerfully. 1ooks Downward The nun, riding in a motor car in the rear, was wistful. She looked downward, just as she had when the verdict was returned and paid little attention to thet staring eyes-of the crowd which lined the streets, There was quict in the court room when the verdict was returned nst this young man who con- ssed to killing the popular former president. Both sat motionless. Tor- al moved his lips slightly, moistening them with his tongue, as the judge 1¢ad his verdict that Toral should die before a 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 f#fing squad. according to the verdict. The defense has five days to appeal to the higher court and this alread:- fs assurad. Should this appeal fail the case will be appealed to l'msidemld Plutarco (‘alles for clemency. Tt was in the little Rombilla cafe in San Angel that Obregon was kill- ed last July. He had just been clected 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- plesion of the national congress, and the various situations confronting the government of President Calles. The cafe was gay and a stringed hand was playing typically tropica) tunes. The group about Obregon's table enjoyed the scene tremendous- Iy A wandering artist appeared.

The artist wag seizsed and he gave his name as Jose De Leon Toral. He said he did it to save Mexico. % . 8ixteen other persons were arrest- ed including the nun. They were charged with having conspired against the lives of Obregon, Calles and other government officials.
