Retreat of Villa Disposes Of

Douglas, Ariz., Nov. a.-The Villa
army is withdrawing from Aqua
Prieta tonight and heading toward
Naco, but 1t was reported the main
army had not gone far and that re-
Inducements are en- route.
There is much speculation as to
whether it is temporary withdrawal
or whether it would abandon the
Aqua Prieta attack and try to cap
ture west coast cities through which
they might import supplies. The
Villa troops have received some food
and water, but not sufficient.

~ umphery when he was placed on
the stand, defendant was with the
wife of Stanton, who, it appears, was
living in one house while Stanton was
at some other point. She (Mrs. Stan
toni brought him bucket of cool
water, and then informed him that
Stanton was coming, and for him to
remain where he was until she could
talk to her husband. 1t was but
few minutes after that, according to
Umphery in his own defense, that he
killed Stanton, when, he claimed, the
aged man had hunted him up and he
had tried to disarm him and save him
self. He said that after taking the
gun from Stanton, that the latter, re-
marking that he had another gun,
made an attempt or move as If to
pull a pistol, and it was then, Um-
phery said, that he shot down the old
man. The story was told with some
hesitation, and very few people in
the court room believed otherwise but
that it was concocted tale, made up
as best he knew how, to save his own
neck.
TELL OF DIRE THREATS.
Various witnesses were heard in
statements containing threats alleged
to have been made by Umphery
against the life of the aged victim,
and as many more were heard in
statements amply proving the claims
of the state that fearful conditions
existed between Umphrey and the
wife of Stanton. The latter was over
sixty years of age, and Umphery ap-
peared to have been in the prime of
his life. Mrs. Stanton was about 81
years of age, it was stated. The rela-
tions had continued for long time, it
appeared, as Frank Nelson, a witness
from Holley, testified that while he
was at Holley, and when Umphery
lived there, he knew the latter was
supplying Mrs. Stanton with gro
| ceries, for he had received notes con-
tanning orders for groceries to be fur
nished the woman. Then, it was later
shown, Umphery had moved his goods
from Bluff Springs to Earnest on the
same wagon which carried those of
Mrs. Stanton.
A witness from Bluff Springs
named J. o. Thomas testified that
Umphery had told him on more than
one occasion, and after shooting a,
the witness, Sanders, by mistake, that
he was sorry Sanders was not Stan
ton, and that he was also sorry that
he had not hit him.
] A number of statements from wit

long sought to kill Stanton. VIM
