RED TAPE CAUSES
DELAY IN TRAIL
Of MEX. RAIDERS

JUAREZ, Next will be eight
months, approximately, before the
trial of the men captured when
Villa forces made an incursion into
this town, June IA and Is, is COM
pleted. This apparent delay is due
in part to the demoralized condi-
ton of communication in Mexico.
and in part to the tangle of formali-
ty that must be unraveled before
all the facts the prisoners want to
get before the court can be pre-
scented.
There were As of these men cap
tured, but one was released soon
afterward, having shown to the sat
isfaction of the court that he was
not a participant in the fighting
here. The men all are charged with
banditry, and, according to Judge
Jesus NJ. Cuen, before whom they
are on trial, even if found guilty,
none will be executed. The law
does not provide for execution of
persons convicted of this offense,
the judge said, adding, however,
that all who were convicted would
be punished.
Every opportunity will be given
the accused men to establish their
various defenses, it was stated at
the federal court where they are
on trial. Many of them come from
distant states - Sonora, Coahuila,
Sinaloa, Zacatecas, and some from
this state, Chihuahua Most of them
contend that they were impressed
into Villas following. Some of them
tell of threats made by Villa to
return and kill their wives and
children if they failed to join him,
while others, younger, said threats
were made against other members
of their families. Dispositions in
support of their contentious are
being taken by court order in the
mems home towns, and this is caus-
ing much of the delay.
One man recounted the return of
a party of Villa men to a town
where one man refused to serve
under Villas standard. The wife
and two children of this man, the
prisoner declared, were deluged
with kerosene and a match applied
to them.
