Associated Press.

ASSOCldleu tTeSs.
FL Paso, Tex, Apr. 10.-An Amer
lean newspaper man who returned to-
day from Parral. Mex, with 1S4
American and other foreign refugees
from the battle-swept district brought
the news of the execution of Thomas
Fountain of Les Cruces, n. NJ, by the
rebels
Fountain was the captain of fed
eral gun under General Pancho Villa
When Villa retreated Thursday night.
Fountain removed parts of the field
piece and concealed himself in pri-
vate residence. Later he was taken
by the rebels and condemned to
death. American residents made ev-
cry effort to secure a modification OF
his sentence, but without avail.
In Mexico they have recourse to
what is known as the law of flight,
under which prisoner who has been
condemned, but where there exists
some doubt as to the legality of the
sentence, is allowed his freedom
within certain limits. The prisoner
knows that his fate is sealed, even
If he does not walk a step.
1t was thus in Fountains case. He
told the correspondent that there was
no hope, but strolled about the streets
waiting for death When his body
was found it contained four bullet
wounds made by shots from behind.
