Manuel Garza Aldape

Manuel Garza Aldape (April 6, 1871 – February 28, 1924) was a prominent attorney in Mexico City.

Due to his disagreement with Huerta's policies, he was approached by an unknown individual one Sunday outside of a bullfighting arena.

The individual had given him a letter written and signed by Victoriano Huerta asking him to leave Mexico in 24 hours or be killed, an event described in A Diplomat's Wife In Mexico by Edith Louise O'Shaughnessy (1916).

[1] He lived in Paris until 1914, when he moved with his family to Maine and New York City.

There, he worked for Curtis, Mallet-Prevost, Colt & Mosle until 1924, when he moved back to Mexico City.
