Is It Normal To Dilated 3inches At 31weeks
70 years the shooting of Jose Antonio
The myth and mystification, heroic tales and rhetoric that was static historical moment, are responsible for the lack of a full account and adjusted to the reality of the last José Antonio; the man who is a matter of policy, committed to prison shortly after the Popular Front's electoral victory, the man for whom the left has pointed out a destination: prison. Follow the traces of José Antonio in the weeks run from March to November 1936 has become, in my profession as a historian, a challenge. Gradually, document after document, file after file, it becomes light, the pieces are fitting together to rebuild a few crucial months.
The November 20, 1936 José Antonio was killed by a hastily assembled squad without waiting for the Assault Guards. Fell after appearing before a People's Court, ruling in a trial marked and agreed upon in advance by the same Indalecio Prieto. The documentation is, at this point, incontrovertible. The brilliant defense of Jose Antonio made it possible for his brother Miguel was saved from execution because the death penalty request was for both. The dialectic of José Antonio superiority because no legal value to a People's Court made the poor drafting the sentence, the fragility of the evidence the prosecutor (with several newspaper clippings mere) and errors give sufficient evidence to support a postponement of the sentence. The deadlines were met. The Cabinet discussed the implementation on the afternoon of November 19, so that versions of Largo Caballero ("we were surprised by news of the execution discussing the issue") are false. In the Council of Ministers was majority confirmation. That was the position supported by Indalecio Caballero Prieto (wrongly dubbed the "friend of Jose Antonio"). The confirmation of the sentence and immediate enforcement followed the rules.
Textually, documentation of the Special Tribunal Popular de Alicante, contained the following summary: "Judgement was delivered on November 18, 1936 sentenced to death. In a telegram on the same day 18 November, the Hon. Mr President of the Council of Ministers and War Minister urgently interested witness referred to it literally in the same sentence, which was held the same day as recorded in the providence of the same date. In a telegram of 19 November His Excellency Mr. President of the Council of Ministers and Minister part of the War for the purpose of the Decree of June 2, 1931 that the Government is aware of having been imposed the death penalty José Antonio Primo de Rivera y Saenz de Heredia.'s providence on 19 November agreed to join the telegram, and that part of their job content through the Civil Governor of the province of Alicante and the Provincial Commission of Justice to the subsequent effects. This text is heard as confirmation by Largo Caballero.
firing squad
firing squad
Although it is difficult to define the course of time in the night of 19 to 20 November we can rebuild, hour by hour, events. The traditional version suffers from some errors or distortions. At eleven o'clock the night Jose Antonio informed that he would be executed. According to the statements, about the same time, William Toscano Rodriguez, leader of the CNT Andalusian anarchist who had come to the prison as a militiaman, but given his position as head of the militia acting in the same anarchists who had obtained some confidence José Antonio (perhaps because they had no other choice since October was to his cell), received or knew, according to his testimony, the execution order of the prison chief, Adolfo Crespo Orrios, which was a consequence of the issued by the civil governor. The execution would take place at dawn.
Guillermo Toscano was the man appointed by the CNT and the FAI to watch José Antonio. At your service militants were José Pantoja Muñoz Serrat Luis Martin, nicknamed "the dairy," Beltrán Manuel Saavedra and Francisco Perera. The record indicates that Toscano took on the role of appointing the members of the execution squad. In addition to the above, all executed after the war, formed: Pozo Andrés Gallego, Portuguese, Pascualet, Antonio Pastor, Becerra and several guards of assault which included Federico Navarro Esteve. The firing squad was basically an anarchist. In the same included a sergeant and three soldiers of the 5th Regiment of militia and four guards of assault.
seems clear that anarchism had decided to take the "honor and ownership" of shooting Jose Antonio. William Toscano and his militia were appointed by the FAI to watch José Antonio. Were installed near his cell in October armed with Mauser rifles and pistols supplied by the anarchist organization, but the key to the cell was held by the warden. In the hours before the execution any decision passed by the prison service official, Enrique Araujo. The bite really should be composed of Assault Guards. At two o'clock the captain Eduardo Rubio Funes was ordered to form a squad of guards to the execution and move to the provincial prison in Alicante. The time fixed for it was six in the morning. At five forty-five left the picket line bound for prison. According to testimony, José Antonio and had been shot when they arrived. There are some differences in the returns, it appears the City ambulance which was carrying the bodies was slow in coming. Capt. Assault forces ordered to escort the ambulance to prevent the storming. The guardian of the cemetery testimony supports this possibility, because he had to resort to the power to prevent desecration of the corpses.
The responsibility for the way it was executed, murdered as José Antonio should be imputed to the director of the prison and anarchist militants. A twenty-five people were present, some sources put the number up to forty. By some accounts, the prison director ordered to take photos and there was some "uproar." Yet it does not appear that the bodies were desecrated, while the pen of José Antonio ended up in the hands of Toscano. Franco in person it would be recovered to give to the relatives of Jose Antonio.
execution are well known common details of the last hours of José Antonio. Few doubts were fitted to the founder of the Falange on their luck people's courts, since last September, had spoken invariably the implementation of the Falange. Inside the prison had long depended on the anarchists. Direct contact, over the prison director, was the said William Toscano.
José Antonio was aware that his life hung by a thread already. Around November 10 the judge asked a notary to protocolarizar Enjuto his will. The prosecutor, court clerk and notary, Mariano Brown, went to prison. José Antonio delivered his first will (so far unreachable). For indirect sources we know that consisted of two parts. The provisions of a private nature instituted as heirs to his brothers and established a legacy for his aunt. The political part exasperated prosecutor, Gil Vidal Tirado, who banned the notary register:
Vidal: That's not a will.
José Antonio: "Nor will afford that?
José Antonio insisted and handed the pages to Mariano Castaños, who personally, despite the risk, in fulfilling its role, transcribed because officials accompanying him declined. However, it forbade its protocolarización notary. According to the testimony of Thomas Lopez Zafra, in the political side was "story of the birth of the Falange and its development in national life. Explain why creates the Falange, his conception of itself and its mission in the future. "
November 18, José Antonio Toscano asked to supply a confessor. The Court has ruled and you know the lead time is brief. Article 633 of the Code of Military Justice says that he read the sentence to put in the chapel, the 635 indicates that the execution take place within twenty-four hours after the government learned. A "little old priest, José Planelles Framework give the last absolution to the founder of the Falange. After the second will be drafted. On day 19, with eleven letters, bids farewell to fourteen people. Of his family, Fernando, Carmen, Aunt Carmen, Uncle Anthony, Julian Pemartín and Sancho Dávila. Of his comrades and friends, Serrano Suner, Fernandez-Cuesta, Ruiz de Alda, Valdes Larrañaga, Sánchez Mazas, Carmen Werner. Of their interns: Garcerán, Sarrión and Rope. Two of them, Fernando Primo de Rivera and Julio Ruiz de Alda have been assassinated by the Popular Front. The letters reveal that Jose Antonio does not believe in the possible commutation of sentence or stay of execution.
The Court or the Commission of Public Order, or both, decided that Jose Antonio would not be executed alone. The reason for this decision is difficult to pinpoint. One could argue it was to help dilute any doubt about the legality of the process appearing normal. What does seem clear is that it was the chance that selected the requetés Vicente Muñoz and Luis Navarro López López, and Ezequiel Falangists Look Iniesta and Luis Segura Baus. According to documents some of them were in the process of commutation of sentence.
At around six o'clock entered the cell of José Antonio, Guillermo Toscano and director of the prison. The founder of the Falange could say goodbye to his brother Miguel, who gave some things. According to testimony wearing a black suit on the same coat. The cropped hair. There was the scene of delivery coat. José Antonio was placed in position. Although Gil Pecharromán reconstructs the scene and notes that the sergeant (?) Gave the orders, the documents indicate that José Antonio extended his arm and shouted Spain!, Triggering, without warrant, the fire of the militia. There is also controversy over who gave the coup de grace to José Antonio. William Toscano blame themselves in one of his statements, but according to Capt. Casimiro Romero Becerra was one such which was made.
José Antonio was buried on the morning of November 20 with the two and the two requetés Falangists. Ten other bodies were deposited in the pit. The guard of the cemetery, José Santoja, who had managed not to loot the corpse, in the coming months as the tomb said another pit to protect the body. He remained there until April 4, 1939.
