Description
(Original Caption) Tijuana, Mexico: Mexican Lynch Mob In Action. Here is one phase of the four days of rioting, burning and shooting that terrorized Tijuana when a lynch mob sought to wreck vengeance on Castillo Morales, 24-year-old Mexican soldier who had confessed the attack murder of an 8-year-old girl. Three persons were killed and a dozen wounded. The jail was fired and gutted and the Governor's comrades permitted him to "escape" and then shot him down like a fleeing rabbit. It was the enactment of Mexico's traditional "Ley Del Fugo" - Law of Flight. This photo shows the mob at the Governor's palace.
