President Obregon told newspaper men that the most unfortunate assassination of Mrs Rosalie Evans had been shown conclusively to have been the work of ordinary criminals, and that the efforts of political enemies to turn the incident against both the Agrarian parties and the Administration had been unavailing.
It is stated that the Agrarians completely controlled the Huejotzingo district in Puebla ( State, where the Evans crime was committed, throughout the recent revolution without a single oomplaint about excesses. It is asserted that it is merely a coin®idenoe that Mrs Evans happened to be the victim of the highwaymen in the Agrariancontrolled district, as was also the incident resulting in the departure from Mexico of the British Charge d' Affaires, Mr Cummins. President Obregon isaid that the accusation that General Montes, the Agrarian leader, and a candidate for the Federal Congress, was implicated in the case was unfounded.
