REFUSES TO EXHUME BODY
General Villa says He Will Not Give
Up Benton's Remains Out
Of Respect to Dead.

FL Paso, Texas-Gen. Francisco VII
la. at Chihuahua, definitely refused to
give of the body of William s.. Benton.
a British subject, executed in Juarez
several days ago. His reasons, en-
bodied in a private telegram, nave
aroused bitter feeling along the Dor
der. .
81 will not give up the body gu OF
respect to the dead" Villas message
said. at was inferred with all relig'
ious o~bservances and a cross erected
over it, and | will not allow the sacrl'
lege of it's removal"
This word came in response to a
telegram sent by one of Villas SUB
ordinates at Juarez, informing him
that no personal idea should keep him
from permitting the transfer OF the
body to the widow and informing him
that perhaps he was not familiar with
the storm of criticism that had greet
ed his failure to do so.
Many persons here say the refusal
indicated to their minds that Benton
was shot by Villa and that he feared
to deliver the body lest its condition
indicate the manner of death as other
than by court-martial.
