Boston Evening Transcript 12 Feb 1913: The escape of Consul General Arnold Shankin and his staff from the American consulate building during the seven hour battle between the Federal troops and the rebels in the streets of Mexico City yesterday was a sensational one. Mr. Shanklin broke down two doors and was thus enabled to pass into and through an adjoining building and make his exit on a cross street, which was at the moment free from rifle fire. The consul general and his staff carried along with them a wounded man who had been brought into the consulate building for temporary treatment.
