Lazo Estrada was accused of publishing a seditious article and being a Yankee collaborator. 

Lazo Estrada accuses both Santa-Anna and Trigueros, his supposed henchman, of being motivated by malice and caprice. He accuses the latter of failing to properly prepare Mexico City’s defenses against attack. Lazo Estrada also retorts that Trigueros and Santa-Anna have mismanaged the war and gives a detailed defense against the charges. The author, who fought with valor at the Battle of Chapultepec, fled to escape prosecution, but was apprehended and arrested. This pamphlet documents persecutions against the Mexican press during the North American Invasion. Includes discussion of events in Texas.
