The Ten Tragic Days
Gustavo A. Madero was the one to uncover the participation of Victoriano Huerta in the conspiracy. Consequently, the Senate asked for the resignation of Gustavo and his colleague José María Pino Suárez. They were taken as prisoners of Huerta, as the military was slow to advance. Gustavo was locked up inside the Gambrinus restaurant before being given to troops who subsequently tortured and killed him. On 18 February, an open pact was signed between Victoriano Huerta and Félix Díaz, titled the Pact of the Embassy.
