Evidence Of Truth Of Report.
Apart from the kilograms sent there
are some known facts which have been
pointed out by Mexican officials as
lending strong support to the truth Of
the report that the bandit chiefs ca
reer has been closed by death.
These facts are:
Villa has been suffering for more
than a year from a virulent form of
blood poisoning.
He was treated for this disease while
in Juarez by DR.. W. L. Brown, one of
the best known physicians In Ell Paso.
DR.. Brown states that the condition
of the bandit. was such that even a
minor wound would be fatal in 10 days
unless treated promptly and with the
best medical skill and care. Even
under the most favorable conditions
such wound would be of the gravest
character.
1t is certain that IL villa was wound
ed he could not have commanded any
thing but the most primitive treat
ment.
Riotine is Reported.
Another message from Chihuahua
City received here yesterday stating
that rioting had broken out there was
regarded as in a measure confirmatory
of the bandits death.
Villa is known to have had numer-
Gus sympathizers among the lower
classes in the city and 1t was consid-
cred probable that their sympathy
would take the form of violence IL they
learned the body of their hero was be-
ing brought to Chihuahua to be exhib-
tied as that of a criminal.
Nothing Heard of Villa.
Finally, and a point upon which the
greatest emphasis is laid, is:
Nothing positive has been known of
Villa since the battle at Guerrero at
which time the reports of his being
wounded were accepted by General
Pershing and other American officers.
If he had continued south. as was as
sumed. he must by this time have
reached either Torreon or Durango
City, in which event some news OF his
movements would almost positively
have become known.
= Only one message Was received In
Juarez yesterday. giving any details
of the supposed finding OF Villas body.
This message was unofficial and was
sent to private Individual.
According 10 1t, Villas death and
burial were revealed by a former coi-
onel OF the bandit band who had been
captured and was under sentence of
death.
This colonel offered to show his cap
tors Villas grave in return for his
life. He led detachment OF Car
rama soldiers under the command Of
Colonel vavazos to San Francisco
