I By United Proa to The Brad Bulletin)
MEXICO CITY, May 24. The
body of Carranza, murdered presi
dent, of Mexico, arrived here today
on a special train from Puebla. Gen
eral Murguia and other members of
Carranza's party are safe, according
to information received from revo
lutionary sources which state that
the Carranzistas surrendered to the
rebel forces.
A dingy little train or three
wooden coaches, drawn by a rusty
crippled engine, brought the remains
here. A few faithful watchers, in
cluding most of the foreign diplo
matic corps, witnessed the arrival.
' Carranza was murdered in his
sleep when Rudolf Herrero and
his men opened fire. Friends of
the president rushed to his aid and
battled in the darkness with the at
tackers. Carranza's boody was rid
dled with bullets. a
The Mexican president had taken
Herrero into his confidence because
the latter was familiar with the '
Puebla mountains.
General Amadorf, who was with
Carranza, said that the soldiers
under Herrero were dissatisfied, and
that when the party encamped they
carefully noted the hut In which the
president was to Bleep.' The traitors
attacked at 4 o'clock in the morning,
firing crosswise through ' the thin
walls of the hut so that the ballets
would be sure to strike the sleeping
chief. He was hit by six and lived
for only 10 minutes.
