Reyes Murdered, She Says.

New York Times 100 years ago today, March 2, 1913:
Englishwoman Tells of Ill-Treatment at Hands of Mexicans.
    More American and other refugees driven out of Mexico by the revolution arrived here yesterday from Vera Cruz in the Ward liner Esperanza, in a somewhat excited condition. Among them was Mrs. Eduardo de Rendon, an Englishwoman, wife of a wealthy hemp grower in Yucatan, whose home in the City of Mexico was next to that of the Madero family, which had been riddled with shells.
    Mrs. De Rendon said her house was so badly damaged that she and her family had to live in the cellar.
    "Gen. Reyes called us on the telephone on Sunday morning, Feb. 10." she related, "and informed me that Gen. Felix Diaz had been released from prison, and advised that we get out of the city as soon as possible. My heart was broken over the murder of Gen. Reyes. He was leading Government cadets from the school to the National Palace when Gen. Morillo met him in the entrance to the courtyard and invited him in a most hospitable manner to enter, and then had him shot down in cold blood.
    "I think it was even worse." Mrs. De Rendon continued, "in the case of Gustavo Madero. He passed into the courtyard of the Citadel Prison, where twenty Felicista officers met him. He was shot down, I was told, and then his body was quartered.
    "The train on which I left Mexico City with my husband was derailed three times by bandits, who took away the few dollars that the refugees had gathered before their hurried departure from the capital. My husband and I reached Vera Cruz in a penniless condition. He has gone to his hemp plantation in Yucatan. I will not return to Mexico until I hear from him."
    Although It had been stated in Ithaca that Evaristo E. Madero, brother of the late President of Mexico, would sail on the Ward liner Havana for Cuba yesterday in meet his relatives, who had fled from Mexico City, he could not be found on the ship up to the time she left her pier. Mr. Madero left Ithaca on Friday night, after informing fellow-students in Cornell that he was going to sail for Havana.
    It is considered probable that he is waiting for his young brother Carlos to come here from Milwaukee, so that they may sail together for Havana next Thursday.
