MO NEWS FROM ToRREoN.
Wftla Apparently Has Not Yet Cap
 tured the City.

Juarez. Mexico, March 2s-It was Believed here today that the assault of General Villa on Torreon last night was repulsed, or at best, that some in- cident unknown here prevented the at tack
 The last word from the rebel general came at II o'clock last night when a telegram from him was quoted as say ing that the taking of the city was ? not a matter of hours. but of minutes.
 This was premature for even Gen eral CarTanza said on his arrivel today that he had received no word from the front and that evidently Villa had not yet taken the federal stronghold.
 The attack on that city began last Friday and up to last night rebel ad- vices, private and official, indicated that General MOnclovia Herrera had taken some of the most important points in the city.
 There have been no newspaper des- patches dealing with this attack and the similarity of this situation with that at Gomez Palacie is pointed out as significant. When Villa was sue cessful there he permitted the news paper men to send their patches, but when he was repulsed, as he was twice. press messages suddenly ceased.

Little Falls, N Y, March 29.-Jean Gianini who had been held as a sus- pect for the murder of Lydia Beecher, the young school teacher whose body was found in a clump of woods near Poland, N. Y, was arrested today on a warrant charging him with the crime. The inquest has not been concluded and no autopsy has been held, but Coroner Huyck said that in his opinion the evidence already secured justified the issuance of the warrant.
 Damaging Statement by Companion.
 Alleged admissions made by Gianini, who is 16 years old and a former pupil of Miss Beecher, are held by the au- thotities as tantamount to a confess sion. In support of the youths reput- ed statements an affidavit was made today by Brainard Will a companion of Gianini and a year his senior, to the effect that the accused boy several days ago asked Will to assist in mur- dering Miss Beecher and robbing the safe in the second largest business house in Poland village. Will said he did not think Gianini was in earnest.

 The weapons which are alleged to have been used to commit the crime are in the possession of the authori- ties. They are a wrench belonging to 9 cdftnlan 10 WnOSe barn Glanlnl n1U access and a hunting knife. The wrench was recovered on the scene of the tragedy >and the knife taken from a pantry at the Gianini home. The boys coat bore red spots which he said were splashes of paint, and the gar ment has been sent to a chemist for examination.
 Charles Cianini, maintaining his son is innocent, has engaged counsel Charles B. Hanen. to defend the boz The lawyer and Dr. Suitor, a brain specialist from Herkimer, went to Pol land today.

Il may not be possible for the authorities to permit the body to be removed to- morrow morning, as the family plans.
