Catholics Plot to Kill Calles and Obregon Revealed
Seven women and five men, all Catholics, were arrested in Mexico City charged with conspiring to kill President Calles and ex-President Obregon. Mother Superior Concepcion Acebeda De La Liata allegedly led the plot, aiming to poison the leaders at a Celaya dance and later bombs near Obregon’s route. Officials say the scheme shifted, Obregon was slain, and suspects claimed martyrdom rewards while police reported confessions and ties to past assassinations.
