Then I made off alone to seek a
place in the hills where might cure
my hurts.
But, senior, things are not what
they used to be. have plenty of
friends in the hills. but they are now
short of food and, with patrols of
both Carranza and American troops,
I was literally starving. Then at
Santa Ysabel, the very spot at which
We killed the Americans, the Carran-
"a troops caught me.
"At that things might not have
gone as they did If it had not been
that there were other Villa leaders
there among whom there was spir-
1t of deviltry. Perhaps We would
have been content with only the
Americans clothes and money.
But, Senior, they started to run.
and then our soldiers began to shoot.
The smell of powder makes our
blood hot. The excitement grew
and-ah, all. well. Senior, it was all
over before realized it. Yes, I was
sorry when I had time to cool down
and reflect.
But that makes no difference
now. l am bound for Santa Rosa

would much prefer to die for my
country in battle, but if it Is decided
to kill me, will die as Pancho Villa
would wish me to-with my head
erect and my eyes unbandaged and
all history will not be able to record
that Pablo Lopez tjipcbed on the
brink of eternity
The wonderful hold that Villa still
holds over the few of his men faith
full to him, men who believe that
some day the wheel of fortune will
turn again and their leader will as
sumo his oldtime power, was evinced
in the prisoners closing words.
hhoN, otHOT, Sdlu Lopez,
that Pancho Villa still has plenty
of friends in the United States. Some
of these may not be Americans, but
anyhow gringo Will always sell
his soul for gold, and who knows
when the time comes, perhaps God
will send us powerful friends and
maybe rain of cartridges.
"Yes, Senior, Pancho Villa is some
man. | know he is not dead. He Is
resting quietly in the hills until the
time is ripe. If l am shot | will die
knowing my great master will one
day come into his own and have all
Mexicans behind him."
The prisoner allowed a picture of
to be taken go" he said,
my friends, and yes, my enemies,
also, can remember me if have to
iie."
A number of border papers recent
~ have expressed the opinion that
Lopez will not be executed.
Gen. Jacinto Trevino, military
of Northeast Mexico, to-
lay declared that just as soon as
Lopez can walk to the place of ex-
ecution he will be put to death.

After the few changes suggested by

that the statue. when completed. will
be truly lifelike reproduction In
bronze of both Jackson and his battle
mount.
1t is expected that few alterations
will be made in the facial expression.

regarded as an excellent likeness OF the
general, Several lines in the head o
the horse are TO be so altered as to
bring the head more erect. as IL al

ing. as at present. 1t has also teen
suggested that the pedestal of the
statue be altered so as to make 1t
stand out in clearer relief and that the
bronze torches be eliminated.
Before deciding on the successful
model Mr.. Sievers made numerous de-
signs Of the noted soldier, showing both
rider and horse in action, but he finally
came back TO the idea he had original
in a quiet pose, calm, erect, and the
horse too. standing quiet and erect.
1t is this idea that faithfully shows
Jackson Standing like a stone wall,
as ne is best known, and II won the
approval of the committee who md
charge OF making the selection.
Twenty-Five months have been ask d
by Mr.. Sievers to complete the statue.
and all Of the work, except the hrcnle
casting. will be done at his studio IN
