This question has been worrying the
friends Of the Mexico City attorney
since Saturday, when he checked out
at the Paso del Norte and has not been
seen since. SandoTal was here en- route
TO Chihuahua to see villa and was
travelling under an assumed name.
When he returned from Chihuahua, he
registered at the hotel under his right
name He was last seen in Ell PasO on
Saturday morning, when he paid his
bill at the hotel and inquired about
the trains to san Antonio. The clerks
at the city ticket office OF the g. H.
say that SandOVal, who was known to
them, has not bought a ticket to San
Antonio from their office and there
was no sleeping car reservation made
in his name on the chart at the Sunset
office

Lie. SandOval was warned by his
friends that he was going on danger
Gus mission when he left here for /
Chihuahua to see Villa, presumably as
the agent of FELIX Diaz. If the man
who is reported to have been executed i
in JuareZ Sunday night is not SandO- |
val and was really Guzman, he was /
probably an agent who was left here /
with Villa in an effort to nave him 4
shift his allegiance from Carranza to /
Diaz.
Guzman, reported to be the victim, /
figured prominently in the revolt !
against president Nadero in Mexico |
City a year ago. Guzman was said to 4
have just come from Havana where it /
was charged, he had been given Sc
cret mission by Felix Diaz to induce /
Villa to renounce Carranza and throw
the strength of the revolution to Diaz.

Within a few minutes after his ar
rival, so the report goes, Guzman was
led out of Villas room, stood up be-
fore an adobe wall, and, with his
hands tied and eyes blindfolded, was
hot.
Guzman was formerly a private sec
-etary to DR.. Emilio VasQuez Gomez.
lie was known as one Of the promoters
Il the Orozco revolution against Ma
Zero and later he Joined with Huerta
n the conspiracy against the late pres
dent
Effort to Conceal 1t.
An effort was made to conceal Guz-
mans execution, but inquiry as to a
pool Of blood in Villas yard revealed
the fact and later rebel leaders adj
nirted that Guzman had been killed.
The execution of those upon whom
the rebels look as political enemies is
said to be in line with a recent order |
from Carranza that all those who took
IN active part in the overthrow Of Ma.
Zero must be killed
