VILLA THREATENS II EXECUTE
 ALL RELATIVES OF COL, GARDEA

als in western Chihuahua.
 When the Villa garrison at Palomas revolted and declared for Villa, Col. Saenz, Villa officer there with Col Gardea, joined the revolt, it is said, and led the mutineers. Gardea claims that he was unable to control his men, and, rather than join in the revolt, he left Palomas and crossed to the American side for fear of being exc cuted by the revolting garrison, as he insisted upon remaining loyal to Villa. When he left, he left all the ammunition and rifles there and these were found as he left them by the Villa force from Juarez which was sent to Palomas and drove the revolt ing troops out of the garrison and port.
 Col Gardea also saved the lives of Generals Ochoa and Contreras at the tine of the revolt These men were in command of the Villa forces in Western Chihuahua and were ,aKe1 from a train on the Mexico North western railroad, Col Garuea says. The two Villa generals were delivered to him to be execU .-d by Col. Saenz,' the leader of the revolt. Instead of carrying out his orders, Col. GArtlca allowed the two generals to escape to the American side, thus saving their lives. Because of this act and be- cause he insisted upon keeping out of the mutiny, Col. Gardea was forced to leave Palomas and cross the line.
 His American friends are making a strong appeal to Gen. Villa through the local authorities and through the state department to pardon the fami- lies of Col. Gardea and his two broth CTS. They insist that he had nothing to do with the mutiny at Palomis ami that to punish the innocent families by executing them would be a double crime against humanity.
