DRAMATIC MURDER.
YOUNG GIRL SHOOTS MAN. TO AVENGE FATHER’S DEATH. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received July 11, 10.50 p.m. Mexico City, July 10. A dramatic incident occurred here, when a fifteen-year-old girl avenged the death of her father, Jesus Moreno, editor of the Heraldo de Mexico. Deputy Lloroa had shot and killed Moreno on the steps of the Department of the Interior building, following on a quarrel over the editor’s attacks in the columns of his paper on so-called political evils. Maria, the daughter of Moreno, who since her father’s death has been almost deranged through grief, waited before Lloroa’s home and fired four times when he appeared in the doorway, killing him instantly. She expressed no regrets when she surrendered to the police, saying: “Now my father’s death is avenged, I am ready to pay the penalty.”—Aus.-N.Z. Assn.
