BENTON STABBED.
PERCEVAL REPORTS
British Consul Finds Englishman
Was Killed with Knife
in Villas Office.

Washington. March 23.--The inquiry
into the death of William :. Benton, the
British subject. FIVE weeks ago. in Juarez.
directed by the British Foreign Office, has
been concluded, and the results were laid
before the British Ambassador here to-
day, for transmission to London. The in
vestigation was conducted by {. r.. s.
Perceval. British Consul at Galveston,
whose district includes the town Of FL
Paso, opposite Juarez.
From evidence that he was able 10 OBJ
tain. Consul Perceyal reports that Benton,
disregarding The advice and appeals OF
his wife, proceeded directly TO General
Villas headquarters. with the double pur-
pose OF protesting against the spoliation
Of his ranch, and to secure the privilege
Of marketing his cattle in the United
states so extensive had been the raids
on his livestock by the Consttutionalists
that he told his friends that he had de-
termined to save what he could Of the
herd by getting il oGt Of the country.
The testimony quoted by the consul
makes il appear that Benton was un-
armed when he entered JuareZ and sought
' liza UtduNudi ttio 'i-'h ~ 'iiNN'N' -
las office and that there was tremen-
dous scuffle. followed by perfect quiet. No
witness could be found who heard the
sound OF a shot Benton did not emerge
from the Office alive. but where and when
his body was removed rhe report does not
disclose.
The consul drew the inference that Ben
ton had been killed with a knife and that
his body had been secretly removed and
buried somewhere in the immediate
neienborhooo. though there was no direct
testimony TO sustain this inference.
According TO the Briti.h view, nothing
further can be done in the case at this
stage
