ABSTRACT
The January 3, 1924, assassinations caused considerable shock, even though the day before there had been a few hushed, ominous rumors afloat. Repercussions from the January 3 assassinations were reflected in other acts of recrimination and revenge. Despite all that had happened, bitter revenge did not seem to hold a high priority on the Socialists' list, but of course some signs of rancor and recrimination were evident in various acts of the restored government. By the middle of May it was determined that a special court investigation would be made into the January 3 assassinations. As with all sudden changes of administrations in Yucatan, mid-1924 was fraught with repercussions, recriminations, and some revenge. Revolution, as Alvarado had described it earlier, was an on-rushing train and it crushed those who attempted to derail or detain it; strange it was that, for an interval, the General had failed to remember what he had long believed.
