Mr.. silliman is tall and dignifed in

mustache and white hair give him a
strong resemblance 10 the pictured
likenesses OF Bret Harte. He refused
10 speak Of his experiences in Saltillo.
and in what obviously was prepared

consulted at Vera cruz with Consul
General ShsnkIin and Consul Canada

Mr. Marchani had stated. that he had

Not Molested on Trip.

The vice-consul said that after leav-
ing Saltillo he had not been molested.
and that on the trip down from Mex
ico City no one had even asked him for
his passports. He speaks in a low,
cultivated voice and with a Southern
accent. He is from Texas. and entered
Princeton University in 1915. on leav-
ing the train he lodged the photog-
raphers by using the stations rear exit.
and is now lodged in the American
Consulate.
Mrs. Silliman still is In Saltillo under
the protection Of the British Consulate.
Her husband apparently feels no snxi-
ETY. regarding her safety. He ex-
pressed satisfaction that he had not
attempted to take his wife to Mexico
City with him, thus subjecting her 10
the perils Of that trip.

He Never Lost Confidence.

He comes from Alabama. He sat in
a rocking chair, and speaking slowly
and with some apparent effort, but with
great courtesy and the manners Of an
old Southern colonel. he asked that the
correspondents excuse him from dis
cussing facts concerning his arrest and
imprisonment until he had reported TO
his superiors in Washington. This he
might do in person. he said, and he was
awaiting instructions from Washing
ton. He said that while he did not
know during the twenty-one DAYS he
was in prison what was being done for
his release. yet ne never lost confidence
that everything possible was being
tried. HIS arrest. he declared. was a
great surprise 10 him. He would not
discuss General joaquin MASS atti-
tude toward i'm further than TO say
that on the surface their relations had
been amcsble. He felt that the Bra
lillian Ambassador had done much in
assisting toward his release He would
not discuss whether he was arrested
on a specific charge or not.

Beginning of Villas Career.

At the death of his father, Fran
cisco, or Pancho, was left in charge
of thes Villa ranch in the state of
Chihuahua and with it assumed the
responsibility of his mother and a
younger sister, the latter a Mexican
beauty of coquettish tendencies. Be-
coming enamored of the county sher-
iff of the city of Chihuahua, the girl
eloped with him. Forgetful of the
marriage ceremony the couple fled to
the mountains. The enraged Pancho,
with an escort of cowboys and a
priest, pursued the runaways. Over
taking them, he forced matrimony up
on the unwilling sheriff; then, hand
ing him a shovel, commanded his
brother-in-law to dig grave. That
horrid task, completed, Pancho shot
down the terrified bridegroom and
rolled his body into the pit.
This incident was lurid enough to
startle authorities hardened to crime
and lawlessness and it was necesE
sary for the murderer to effectually
absent himself from the justice that
