VILLA IN FLIGHT
CarranZa Official Gets News of
Bandits Departure South.
Claim Junta in Ell PasO Is Di-
recting PanchO's Campaign.

Ell Paso, Oct. 27.-Francisco Villa
and his bandits have left the Merico
Northwestern railroad at or neal
Santa ISABEL twenty-five miles south
west of Chihuahua City, and are NOV
ing south in the general direction of
Satevo, states a message which was re-
ceived at the CarranZa consulate here
today.
The message was signed by Gen.
Jacinto B. Trevino and was dated
october 26. 1t was in reply to a re-
quest by Andres Garcia, inspector
general of consulates, asking for def
mite information regarding Villa S
movements.
In the message General Trevino de-
MED that there had been any fighting
at Fresno, eight miles from Chihuahua
City, and added that Villa had been
forced to abandon his base at Santa
Ysabe1 and had gone south toward
Satevc.
General Trevino characterized the
report that government officials had
been warned to leave Chihuahua City
as absurd"
The movements of Pancho Villa are
directed from FL Paso by a junta of
Mcxicans and few Americans, ac-
cording to Garcia, who declared his
secret service men had such evidence.
Money is also being furnished from
the American side to pay the soldiers
under the bandit chiefs leadership
with silver and attempts have been
made to smugsle ammunition across
the border for the use of Villistas.
These attempts have been frustrated.
Villa Driven From Base.
An official statement from General
Trevino made public at Juarez, an
nounced that Villa has been obliged
to leave his base at Santa Ysabel and
is now proceeding southwark.
Heavy engagements are likely to
result soon," declared the statement.

advised residents to leave the city is
untrue"

Mrs. Thorp, matron at the Rock
Island station, directed them to the Y.

there for the night. The girls started
up Kansas avenue and reached 307,

SCORES
Testifies Beutinger Tried to
Frame Up Affidavit.
Declared He Would Kill Wife
If She Got Divorce.

Newark, n. J., Oct. 27.-Christopher
Beutinger, wealthy coal broker, for
whose murder Mrs. Margaret Claire
Beutinger is on trial for her life, once
attempted to force her into a compro-
missing position to compel her submis-
sion to his desires. according to testi-
mony introduced by the defense as the
trial neared a close today.
John H. Debaus, of Washington, D.
c., was the defense witness who made
the accusation.
"Beutinger met me in Washington
and wanted me to make an affidavit
that 1 had found a man in Mrs. Beut-
inger's stateroom while she was en-
route to the Philippine Islands," swore
Debaus. ANY man. he said, would do.
told HIM 1t was impossible. He said
it would help him in the future. He
told me about the divorce proceedings
and said if she ever tried to leave him
again he would kill her."
The introduction of DebauS's testi-
mony was victory for the defense.
The court ruled it in after a nights
consideration. Both sides rested
shortly before II o'clock, the state
offering no rebuttal. Each side was
given an hour and ten minutes for
argument. The defense did not call
Mother Superior Catherine for testi-
mony regarding the life of the Beut-
myers.
Former Servant Tells of Advances.
Anna Gasco, a 15-year-old Austrian
servant girl, told a story of advances
toward her by Beutinger while she
was employed in the Beutinger house
and also decla she had heard an
CRY threats by Beutinger to kill his
wife after she had told Mrs Beutinger
of the occurrence.
Declaring the case, if it were not
such a great tragedy, would be the
greatest romance eyer heard, r. Nc
Carter opened argument for the de-
Tense. McCarter drew a picture of
Mrs. Beutingers life with the man she
slew and Mrs. Beutinger sobbed aloud
as the lawyer told of the ocean voy-
age of the young couple shortly after
their marriage and their travels after
ward. He pictured the change Mrs.
Beutinger found in the man with
whom she had agreed to live.
