fore the afternoon was over the young
woman had made 1t plain that she could
not identify written footnotes to letters
as her own. let alone recognize the letters
themselves.
Assistant United Slater Attorney Roosa
handed her epistle after epistle OF
Farmer and others. but Miss Wennes
couldn't recall ever having seen a one
OF them before although they were taken
from the Anglo American Authors Asso-
citation files and some of them bore her
own initials, showing that they had been

After long sequence OF Miss Wennes's

After Miss Wennes had failed several

the Arrlotas to join him In his campaign
against CarranZa. Villas telegram to the
Arrictas was sent prior to the converting

other things villa said
"Nenustiano Carranza has offended the
honor and dignity OF the division OF the

Replying. the Arrie'a brothers declared
they preferred to await the result OF the
conference which Carranza had called for
Mexico city before accepting or rejecting
Villas invitation to join him, and ended
with the following, relative to American
occupation:
"ln closing. 10, us call on your patriot
