FOLLOWERS OF VILLA FOUND
 GUILTY
Mexicans to Meet Death on GaIIows at Ceming for Participation in Columbus Raid.

DEMlNG, N. M., April 20.-It took Ia Luna county jury just twenty minutes to find verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree against Juan Rangel, Eusevio Renteria, Tau rino Garcia, Jose Rodriguez, Francis co Alsares and Juan Castillo for their participation in the raid on Colum- bus, March 9. Arguments in the case were completed shortly before noon today and a few minutes past noon the jury filed back into the court room with their verdict. The prisoners were given a speedy and fair trial, the case was opened yes terday morning and the sentence of the court will be passed next Mon day. As the crime carries the death penalty the executions by hanging will take place at the local jail within thirty days, unless a stay of execution | is secured. The alternative is con- sidered unlikely.
 The prosecution was conducted by Assistant District Attorney J. S.. 1 Vaughn and the defense by Buel R. | Wood. of Carrizozo.
 State Opens Case.
 The state introduced the testimony of Constable T. A. Hulsey, P. H. Lennon, Jr., Sam Ravel, Lurid Fil. more, Of the United States army; B :. S. Aguirre and L. A. Riggs, all of Columbus.

 Forced Into Villas Service. The defendants were put on the stand in their own behalf and their testimony went no further than an attempt to show that they were fore led into the Villa service and had nc knowledge that they were on Ameri can soil and taking part in the com, mission of felony whereby murder was committed. Counsel for the de fense and the prosecuting attorney amplifled these points in their argu ments
 Medler Gives instructions.

 All Prisoners Wounded.
 The prisoners were brought into court dressed in blue denim shirt: and overalls furnished by the coun ty. All were wounded and only two could stand up when the indictment was read. One was brought in lyins in cot. The court room was crowd ed most of the time, many women be ing among the spectators. The pris oners made no sign when the court in terpreter' made known to them the verdict.
 Convicted in Two Hours.
 Juan Sanchez, the seventh follower of Villa to be tried for complicity i1 the Columbus raid, was this afternoon found guilty of murder in the frs degree by jury that was out thirty minutes. Sanchez trial began at : o'clock and the verdict was in at o'clock. Sanchez admitted that he was in the party that slew the prop rietor and several guests of the com mercial hotel. The state found i unnecessary to introduce all it's wit nesses, having developed decisive strength at the trial which ended a noon in the conviction of the six ban dits.
