(Madrid), August 19, 1986, 11; Gibson,

There is conflicting evidence about the precise date of Lorca’s departure from the Civil Government building and subsequent murder in Víznar; the most compelling and consistent testimony, however, points to the early morning of August 18 as the correct date for both events (see
G, II
, 481–82).

FGL’s death:
According to Molina Fajardo, deaths at the Víznar execution site usually took place at approximately 4 a.m. (Molina Fajardo, 63). José Jover Tripaldi claimed that it was shortly before dawn when he heard the shots that killed FGL and his colleagues: “It was approximately 4:45 in the morning, and daylight was just beginning to break” (Penón, 56, 172).
