The Execution of an Assassin. Mexico City, Mexico:
A volley of shots from the firing squad and the lifeless
body of Jose De Leon Toral, assassin of General Alvaro Obregon of
Mexico, drops to the ground in front
of the sandbags piled against the bullet-marked wall at Mexico City,
Mexico. This picture was taken
amid great danger, as the government took every precaution for its
prevention, as many fanatics
believed Toral a martyr or saint who gave his life for his country.
