RIDDLED WITH BULLETS
EXECUTION OF NOTORIOUS ASSASSIN (United Prew Aneooiation—By Ueotrie Telegraph—Copyright) United Service (Received 18lli July, 9.30 a.m.) MEXICO CITY, 17th July. Jesus Robles, a notorious assassin, was executed by a firing squad at Guadalajara. With trembling hands Robles pointed to the spot where his two victims, Doctor Pascual Cumplico and Nosalio Rivers, State Inspector of Stamps, were buried. The firing squa'd literally riddled Robles’s body with bullets. Robles had a score of train wrecks and hold-ups to his credit. He joined the religious rebels two years ago, but shot two priests who opposed his bloody actions. This bravo of the hills died an arrant coward.
