Ell Paso, Nov. 27.-Persistent ru-
mors of the Matching of a plot by
Villa elements in the state of Chi
huahua to avenge the execution Of
General Felipe Angeles, noted rebel
leader, at Chihuahua City, reached
the border today.
Every one connected with the trial
of the Villa chieftain has been mark
ed for vengeance, according to the
reports. Francisco Villa, the ally OF
Angeles, will start Immediately upon
his campaign of reprisal, Chihuahua
City being his objective point, it s
said. The rebels are reported to be
planning to destroy the railroad be-
tween Juarez and Chihuahua City.
Disorders were already said to have
occurred in Chihuahua City, but no
confirmation of these rumors was
obtainable here. Consul General An
drews c.. Garcia, of Mexico, said he
had heard nothing of any outbreaks
at the capital.
Watch the Border.
Meanwhile, preparations were
being made at the garrison in Juarez
to prevent anv disorders on the Dor
der. In the absence of General Jose
Gonzales Escobar. commander of the
Juarez district, Colonel Edward f..
Porcavo, acting commander, is re-
ported as having taken every pre-
caution to forestall any demonstra-
ton by Villa and Angeles svmpath-
izers. General Escobar, who was
one of the judges who tried General
Angeles, was expected to return to
Juarez today.
Juarez police were given orders
last night to keen strict watch on all
suspicious characters. and a strong
patrol was maintained on the streets.
No trouble was reported
In his TESTIMONY before the mill
tary board bv which he was tried.
General Angeles repeatedly denied
that he had taken arms against the
Carranza government but asserted
that he returned to Mexico merely to
effect union of all elements, ac-
cording to detailed story of the
trial. published by Ell Heraldo Of
Chihuahua City.
Ouarreled With Villa.
General Angeles bitterly attacked

"To correct these errors, | exposed
my life. Despite my previous rela-
tions with Villa. it was dangerous for
me to treat with him for he made
use of threats when I made bold to
contradict him.
eve held our first argument in
Tossigua, because he called Madero
a fool. retorted something, and our
voices rose to shouts. Villas SOL
diers expected that he would order
me hanged, as he had done to all
who contradicted him.
afterwards, when he had Gained
down, Villa told me that was the
first man that had contradicted him
and escaped alive.
"This confirmed in me the belief
that Villa would have been a good
man had it not been for despots and
sycophants."
In the course of his lengthy adj
dress to the court, Angeles spoke of
Victor Hugo's "Les Miserables,"
comparing Francisco Villa with Jean
Vatican.
Suddenly the prisoner raised his
voice and shouted:
"Those who accuse me and those
who arrested me are Villistas. The
masters should be the people, who
should govern themselves, who
should cease being servile, for they
are great"
From the balcony and the gallery
of the large theatre in which the
trial was held there came such
storm of applause that General Ga
briel Gavira, the presiding officer Of
the military board had to warn the
auditors that such demonstrations
was prohibited.
After vigorously denying that he
had resisted the efforts Of the state
guardsmen to capture him, Angeles
launched forth into a discussion of
socialism and quoted words Of Jesus
Christ and the works of Theodore
Roosevelt and the Austrian socialist,
Kaussky.
