Mexican Justice

There was a fretting and a fuming in British conservative circles concerning dilatory Mexican justice. Two men, condemned for murdering Mrs. Rosalie Evans last summer (TiME, Aug. 11 et seq.) had not yet been executed.

In Mexico City, President Calles hastened to quiet the British. Believing that a conciliatory attitude might do much to improve Anglo-Mexican relations, severely strained by the murder, he ordered the court at Puebla to hurry disposition of the prisoners. It was believed that appeal would be refused, that they were soon to die.
