said further that Pancho villa has his

Baca takes little a ok In tho promises
Of villa and the otner Constitutionalist
leaders TO produce the body OF Benton,

stroyed by flames without doubt, In order
10 conceal the manner OF Benton's death.

have convicted villa Of murder. for with.
out doubt he shot Benton himself and
then ordered the destruction OF the physi-
cal evidences Of his crime"
Baca said that Gustav Bauch. the miss
Ing American. had also been executed
BY Pancho villa or at his orders. He
told the committee that his cousin. j..
j. Baca, had been confined In Jail for
wear ring an American hat In the grand

ing the patriotic villa. Baca had been
confined with Bauch and another pris-

Bauch and the second prisoner were taken

cry Of Bauch.
