$75,000 FOR VILLA F
 HUER1A IS KILLED
NadtTO Family Will Pay Sum,
 Says Rebel Leadef'S fTitnd.

San Antonio, Tex, April BOA prominent business man of this city, who is personal friend of the Mex ican rebel leader Villa, said yesterday:
 ''On the day that Victoriano Huerta meets violent death the family of the murdered Francisco I. Madero will pay to Gen. Francisco Villa $75,00O in gold.
 This may seem a strong state ment,'' he continued, "but I know it is true. Remember. I do not say I know that Villa has agreed to kill Huerta for $75,0OO. That is not the bargain. It is simply that on the day that Huerta is killed Villa gets the gold. And more, Villa has prac- ticaI hostage.
 'In his camp today is young Raoul Madero. Huerta might be able to compose his differences with the other rebel chiefs and line up a united Mex ican force against America, but in Villa-who personally has a long score with Huerta-the dictator has one foe who will never rest while he is above ground"
 Says Benton Defied Villa.
 Asked concerning the Benton inci- dent, this man freely told what he de- clared is the true story of the English l mans death.
 Benton" he said, 'got just what was coming to him. I know Villa we'll and he is a pretty decent sort in a Mexican, not an American way.
 For weeks before he was killed Benton had been storming around El Paso, bitterly denouncing Villa be- cause the rebel chief would not as- sign 300 men to guard the properties of which Benton, as trustee, was in charge. Sommerfeld, German agent of Madero. who knew Benton we'll ] went to him. T have the story at 1 first hand:
 'Benton,' Sommerfeld said, you l have been talking too much. I am | going to New York to buy ammuni- 1 tion for the rebels and I want you to promise inc that you will not go tc Juarez to Villa until I return. Ii you do you will find trouble
 Benton Breaks His Promise. Benton promised and sommerfeld :; left. Just two days afterward Ben. ton crossed the river and went to Villa again demanding a guard. 1 ' T can't do it. Villa told him. No, would I now, even if could spare the men. I have heard of your abus ] ing me in Ell Paso and I believe yo, are spy for Huerta. Take my ad vice-get out of Mexico and stay out.
 That enraged Benton. I will com, into Mexico where and when I dam. l please he told Villa f1atly.
 Enough said Villa, and he callet the guard and put Benton under ar rest.
 Almost at once Benton was put O, train for Chihuahua guarded by ; small detachment under Major Ru dOlfo Fierro. The train had gon, only few miles when Fierro's sol diers dragged Benton out of the coacl and Fierro shot the Englishman [, death,

Case VIII Now Go to U. 5.
 Supreme Court.

Harry K. Thaw's petition for a writ of habeas corpus was granted by Judge Edgar Aldrich of the United States district court of Concord, N. Fl.

 The result of the decision Is that Thaw's guardianship and condition will be unchanged for the present, but that his petition for writ of haheaa corpus will go to the highest court In the land with a decision of the lower court in his favor. The decision. ticl with the clerk of the court in Concord, makes more than 10000 words ani discusses exhaustively the various phases of the case presented In the United States court.
