year Of mental torture in which the
fear of detectives was constantly with

result he offered his services to Gen
eral Pershing. AT military headquar-
tiers he made the foregoing statement:
Il I'm Guy Hartman, and am an
xious to waive extradition and go to

HARTMAN THOUGHT TO HAVE
DIED FIGHTING VILLISTAs

Ell Paso, Tex. July 26.-Government
agents here were puzzled today as a
result of the reported confession at
Columbus, N. NJ, of Guy Johnson, a
scout attached to General Pershing's
command, that he is Guy Hartman,

frauds in Fort Smith, Ark. It was
pointed out that early last January a
body believed to be that of Hartman
was found in the mountains near
Temosachic, Chihuahua. Surrounding
II were many empty cartridges and
the bodies of five Villistas. After a
thorough investigation the American
consul announced that no doubt re-
manned that the dead American was
Hartman, as papers were found in the
dead mans pockets. Efforts are be-
ing made to determine the identity Of
the man killed by the bandits.

Your letter of July 23d distresses

the service.
"The war department has the camps
on the border under the most careful
inspection and is using every means
known to make them sanitary and
safe against disease. The health rec
