Death Hand of Segundo blamed for Mexican striker shooting
In Trinidad on May 18 soldiers say the Death Hand of Segundo is responsible for wounding Juan Cruz, a Mexican striker. Cruz had received a threatening blackhand letter last December demanding he leave the district. The letter bore the Spanish name The Death Hand of Segundo as a group discussed reorganizing local United Mine Workers branches by nationality to prevent disturbances. Huerta faces pressure from Carranza Villa forces to defend Mexico City, with Tampico fallen and Tampico’s loss cited as pivotal to the capital’s defense.
