Says Madero Was Murdered.

New York Times 100 years ago today, March 8, 1913:
Film Photographer Offers Pictures to Wilson to Prove it.
    Frank Dart of Lynbrook, L. I., a moving picture photographer for the Universal Film Manufacturing Company of 1,000 Broadway, arrived in New York yesterday from Mexico, where he had spent three thrilling weeks making "movies of the revolution."
    Mr. Dart said on his arrival here that he had conclusive photographic proof to show that President Madero was deliberately murdered and not shot while trying to escape, as asserted by President Huerta. What he told officials of the company was deemed of such importance that Hal Reed, manager of The Animated Weekly, which is a division of the film company, yesterday evening sent a letter to President Wilson advising him of what Dart had seen and snapped and heard, and offering to send the latter to Washington with the photographic proofs at the President's convenience. A representative of the film company said last night that their photographer had reached Mexico City at sunrise on the morning after Madero was shot, and that Mr. Dart had obtained moving pictures at the scene of the shooting, which was in the rear of the penitentiary. These pictures show Madero's body buried under a huge pile of stones, and crowds of peons and curious Mexicans, to whom, he said, a shooting was something of a gala occasion, standing about. According to the photographer, his pictures also show the bullet holes made in the rear wall of the prison, and that these prove conclusively that Madero had been fired on from two sides.
