A GIRL’S DEED.

SHOOTS HER FATHER’S MURDERER. MEXICAN SENSATION. [A. and N.Z. Cable Association.] (Rec. July 11. 10.50 p.m.) MEXICO CITY. July 10. A dramatic incident occurred here, when a fifteen-year-cjd girl avenged the death of her father, Jesus Moreno, Editor of the “Heraldo Dp Mexico.” A Deputy, named Llorva, 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 the so-called political evils of Mexico. Marin, the daughter of Moreno, who since her father’s death has been almost deranged through grief, waited before Llorva’s home. She fired at him 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.”
