Intended to Kill the I'r>*i«lilent —
J'weutjr illfinliom of tlit* Mob I nder
Arrest—Deplored l»jr the llrttir People
City ok Mkxico, Sept. IS.—Annlfo
Arroyo, the miscivunt who maile an
attempt upon the life of I'res'ulent
Diaz, was set upon hy a mob of infur-
iated citizens shortly after midnight
and hilled with hnife stabs.
(•encral satisfaction was expressed
hero over tho affair, although the
more reflective people, especially bus-
iness and professional men, said they
deplored the act, and feared it would
be misinterpreted abroad.
From the moment Arroyo was ar-
rested in front of the alameda, or cen-
tral public park,masses of people kept
clamoring for his life, and- taunted
Lieutenant . La Croix, who had the
prisoner in charge, with uot using his
PRESIDENT DIAZ OF MEXICO,
pistols on the criminal. A great crowd
of people followed the gendarmes to
the national palace, where the prison-
er was searched, and then, despite the
remonstrances of the army officers,
turned over to the civil authorities by
request of President Diaz, who was
opposed to having the man tried by
court-murtial, and who, in fact, ad-
vised a lenient policy. Accordingly
the prisoner was allowed his full con-
stitutional rights.
At night he was taken, clad in a
straight jacket", to the ollice of the in-
spector of police, which consists of
two rooms with two windows opening
on the street The prisoner was given
a mat. to rest on and was carefully
guarded. Near at hand, in an adjoin-
ing apartment, wore four otlleers of
the secret service. As Arroyo lay on
the mat he conversed with one of tho
oflicers who had known him for years.
He was asked how he could have come
to make the murderous assault on the
president, knowiug, as he did, how
severe the law would deal with him,
and especially as ho hud studied the
law. Arro\-o manifested a cynical
indifference^ and declared he had in-
tended to stun the president and then,
taking the president's small sword, to
kill him.
Suddenly, while tho two wero con-
versing, and tho prisoner was smok-
ing a cigarette, Hie tramping of many
feet on the stairs loading up to the
iloor on which the olliee is situated
was heard, and there wero confused
shouts of "Long livo President Diaz!"
"Long livo Mexico and death to an-
archists!"
Arroyo shuddered and with trood rea-
son for immediately the door was
burst down and a great crowd of peo-
ple, apparently of the lower classes,
entered, the leader bearing a small
Mexican ilag on a stielc. Officer San-
chez cried to the crowd to fall back
and advanced on them with his sword,
but the mob overcame, him and, throw-
ing him down, advanced over his body
to where Arroyo lay trembling. Veils
went up; "Kill !r:a; ho belongs to us!"
nnd a din arose of a horde of sav*
Ages.
Windows were broken, and the noise
aroused tho olllecrs 01 the secret ser-
vice in the adjoining room, who
rushed to the scone, but did not tiro
on the crowd, fearing they might kill
some of tho comrades of the police in-
side, so they contented themselves
with firing shots from the windows,
thus calling together the police on
neighboring corncrs, who were or-
dered to prevent any persons leaving
the city building.
Meantime, in. tho room above, a
frightful tragedy had been enacted.
Many knives were plunged into tho
body of Arroyo, who, of course, was
entirely helpless.
There were nine wounds in all. One
of the gendarmes was wounded in the
light with tho mob.
Over twenty arrests have boon made,
and all arc locked up incommunicado
nnd have not been released, pending a
strict inquiry which is to be made.
Arroyo had been in prison several
times, on one occasion for shooting a
man. Ills acquaintances say lie was
somewhat crazy and inclined to acts
of violence. He drove his father to
despair and death by his conduct,
having forged his father's name. Ilo
was 3'J years of. age, son of a tailor,
but was given a liberal education and
became for a time a military cadet
and then took up law.
President Diaz, in a speech, deplored
the lynching of Arrovo and declared
if there was any fault in tho vigilance
011 the part of the police it should l»o
investigated and tho consequences fall
on tho heads of tho culpable persons.

ATTEMPT TO KILL WITNESS
Development In the Notorious Ntaflle-
haclc Murder Case.
Joplin, Mo.. Sept 18.—An attempt
was made last night to murder Annie
MeComb, the principal prosecuting
witness in tho Staflleback murder
wise. While sitting in her room alone
a strange negro entered, seized her by
the throat and attempted to stranglo
her. She struggled to free herself
from the negro's clutches and the
noise brought a man from the next
room to her rescue, when tho negro
fled.
This is the second attempt that has
been made to murder Annie MeComb,
and the supposition is that her as-
sailant was hired to kill her by Charlie
Wilson, tho husband of Mrs. Stattle-
hack, the only one of tho murderous
gang who is still at largo.
