IFFfflliy EMMS' NIE!
Juan Medina Accompanies El Pasoan to Prison, to Hospi
tals and Elsewhere Over the City, Admits Execu
tions of 11 Men, But Declines to Furnish
Their Names and the Reason for Kill
ing the P risoners.
BY ED-WARD.
YESTJSCDAY I had an Interview
with Panch Villa and informed
him that there were a great many
rumors on this side as to the number
of prisoners he had executed, and that
these rumors, if allowed te go unan
swered, would eventually diminish the
luster of his great strategic victory,
which had done so much to gain for
him the admiration and sympathy of
Americans.
He answered me that these execu
tions has been very few and had been
confined to those officers who had once
joined his corps and had deserted and
returned to the federals. He further
stated that if I would return this
morning at 8 clock he would give me
an official list of those whom he had
ordered shot, together with his reasons
lor doing so.
Villa Refers Him to 3Icdina.
This morning on entering the ball
room of the custom house, where the
Madero victory over Juarez was cele
brated. I saw a company of Vllla'a in
fantry drawn up and Villa.- himself
busily engaged in seeing that each man
got a new hat and a new uniform. Af
ter a little talk with Villa, he referred
me to his chief of staff. Juan N. Me
dina. Medina, who wears the title of col
onel in the rebel army, is the direct
antithesis of Pancho .Villa. Villa is a
man sturdily built; with a Strang and
determined face, and is preeminently a
man of action, while Medina is short,
slightly built, with an intellectual face.

suave manner, and all the earmarks of
a diplomat.
Admits 11 Executions.
Medina stated that only 11 men, up
to the present time, bad been ordered
shot since the battle; that, of these,
nine were federal officers who had
been captured in other engagements
and had been either paroled or had
joined the "Constitutionalists" and af
terwards deserted and returned to the
federals, and that the military laws
of any country In warfare would con
tenance the execution of these men;
that the other two were citizens of
Juarez not belonging to the federal
army, who were captured with guns in
their hands actively engaged in resist
ing the "Constitutionalist" army on its
entrance into Juarez.
Refuses to Give List.
I asked Medina to give me a list of
the 11 mw executed, with, the reason
for their execution. He refused to do
this, taking the attitude that these men
were execued properly under military
law, and that an official list of the
names, and the reasons for execution,
could not add to his statement.
Medina then stated "to show you
that these stories of wholesale execu
tions are unfounded, I will take you to
the prison." There, in the first court
yard, were drawn up about 38 of the
volunteers who had fought in the de
fence of Juarez, and in a room along
side were 50 federal soldiers.
Prisoners Properly Fed.
Medina returned to the men and said:
"Have you been properly fed?"
They all saluted and answered,
"Yes."
"Have you been illtreated in any
way?'
"Have you been lined up against a
wall and shot?"
- He was answered by the,men with a
chorus of "No, senor."
Several of the men then approached
Medina and said that they were sick
and he immediately ordered that they
be sent to the hospital for treatment.
Takes Uniforms From Federals.
Medina again addressed the prison
ers and said: "All of you men -who
want to join the 'Constitutionalists,'
step one pace to the front." Three
men did this, but the rest remained
where they were. Medina told them
their uniforms would be taken away
from them and they would be provided
with serviceable overalls in their place,
and that they would then be free on
their promise not to take up arms
again against the "Constitutionalists,"
and could come to the American side
to get work with the railroads. "How
ever," he said: "You are all known,
and if any of you are ever found again
in the federal army, you 'will be shot
on sight."
Mother Begs for Son.
"We then started to leave the bar
racks and as we did so an old Mexican
woman rushed to Medina, weeping. She

the mother and son left happily to

"We then went to a house, No. 83 CaUe
Mlnas, which has Deen turned into a
hospital. There were 11 wounded there,
four federals and seven "Constitution
alists." Mrs. Fuer, a trained nurse
from El Paso, was assisting in taking
care of them. From there we rode up
to Hospital X-ibertad, where we found
all the rest of the wounded. Every
thing possible was being done for
them, and the Mexicans could not
speak highly enough of the services of
Dr. Felix Miller, of El Paso, who has
been the only American doctor to de
vote his time and services to the
wounded in Juarez since the battle and
has been performing all the major
operations for them. In all, there are

Denies Wholesale Executions.
I asked Medina point blank: "Were
any of the volunteer defenders of
Juarez executed?" He stated that not
one had been executed with the excep
tion of the 11 he had already men
tioned; that all of the other dead had
been killed during the fight. I asked
him why he had refused to allow the
citizens of Juarez to take their goods
and chattels and come over to El Paso.
He informed me that when Madero
captured Juarez the people had been
allowed to do this, with the result that
there was a great deal of looting of
the homes of Juarez. "People would
drive up to a deserted house, load up
all the furniture and then take it to
the United States and sell it," he said.
Hp stated that absolute guarantees of
safety had been made by Villa to all
citizens of Juarez, and their families,
who wished to remain over there, but
that if they should decide to leave,
they could obtain a pass at any time
to bring their belongings to the United
States after they had given sufficient
proof of ownership. ,

Cnrrania Cabinet Member Says Re
moval of Embargo Is no Longer
Essential to Rebel Success.
Nogales, Son., Mex., Nov. IS. A re
newal of the exchange of views be
tween Wm. Bayard Hale, on behalf or
president Wilson, and Venustiano Car
ranza. chief of the Mexican "Constitu
tionalists" began at noon today despite
rumors to the contrary.
Hale's negotiations yesterday with
Francisco Escudero, Carranza's min
ister of foreign relations, were said to
have brought to light a difference of
opinion which might deadlock diplo
matic exchanges. No Intimation of
the natuic of this difference has been
given by either side. It was appar
ent, however, that it was an Important
one and until the intimation was giv
en at "Constitutionalist" heaaquarters
that Hale and Carranza would again
meet today, there was some doubt that
there would be another conference.
Several officials expressed the be
lief that today might see the conclu
sion of the negotiations between pres
ident Wilson's envoy ana the "Consti
tutionalists," but no opinions were
voiced as to what the definite result
of the conference would DC.
Much interest was expressed here
in Escudero's plain declaration that
the lifting of the embargo by the
United States government on the ex
portation of arms and ammunition was
no longer viewed as essential to the
success of the "Constitutionalist" move
ment. The victories over the Huerta
forces at Juarez and elsewhere were
believed to have occasioned the state
ment. On the other hand, it appeared that
the original expectation of the Insur
gents that the ban on the transfer or
war munitions across the line would
be lifted, had been met with more de
finite requirements from the 'Wash
ington government.
Escudero announced that Carranza
was preparing an exhaustive manifesto
regarding the position of the "Consti
tutionalist" leaders, both on the domes
tic and International affairs of Mexico.
It was stated also that provisions
were being made to move the head
quarters of the "Constitutionalists"
back to Hermoslllo, capital of Sonora.

"Coises on You, Jack DaSton, Give
Them Papers; Do You Hear?"
.Every Mexican Who Amounts to Anything These Days Carries "Incriminating
Papers," So the Police Always Prove May Lose His Clothes,
but Never the Incriminating Papers.
MEXICO CITY. Nov. IS. The first
thing a Mexican docs when ho
becomes a conspirator, or joins
a rebel junta, or apprentices himself to
learn the trade of banditry, or gets into
the plotters' union, is to supply him
self with incriminating documents. No
conspirator against the provisional
government of citizen general Don Vic
toriano Huerta. presldente interino
constitutional of the United States of
Mexico, is recognized as -a plotter in
good 'standing unless he carries "them
papers" on his person.
Documents Always Issued.

of Carrancista or Zapatista or Vasquis-
ta or some other ista" conspirators, ne

he be put to slow torture. Then signs
and passwords are given him and a
large bunch of incriminating docu
ments confided to his care. The "docu
ments" may differ in detail, but they
always contain the names -and ad
dresses of all the conspirators and a
full expose of their nefarious plans and
projects, with diagrams.

ments in their breast pockets when

Ipivb th incriminating documents in

bers of the chamber of deputies who
were arrested by order of president
Huerta October 10 for conspiracy
against his government, carelessly left
their Incriminating documents in their
desks in the chamber, instead or carry
ing them in their pockets, according to
custom, thus putting the secret police
to a great deal of unnecessary trouble
to get the papers.
A Grave Rreach of Etlquct.
President Huerta called all the mem
bers of the diplomatic corps to the na
tional palace and told them in an ag
grieved tone how those telltale papers
had been found in the deputies' desks
by the police. He really was very
angry about it. for, as he and everyone
knows, it is the correct thing in the
best plotting circles to carry such pa
pers on the person, where the secret
police can get them without vexatious
delay and trouble. There can be little
doubt that the imprisoned deputies will
get much severer sentences than they
would have received had they not mali
ciously sought to annoy the police and
cause delay by leaving these incrimin
ating documents in their desks, instead
of carrying them to jail, where they
could have been found without trouble
when the deputies were searched.
All Have "Them Papers." .
Bay after day. week after week,
month after month, conspirators of all
sorts and condition have been arrested
by the secret police of Mexico, and
there is hardly a case on record where
incriminating documents were not
found when the prisoners were
searched. The police said so, and the
police ought to know, for they are the
Snes who did the searching. There
ave been some few exceptions to the
rule, but the conspirators upon whom
no incriminating papers were found,
usually had excuses to offer for their
remissness, saying that they had
rhsmsred their clothes hurriedly and
had forgotten to take their documents J

Police Distrust.
The police regard such stories with a
good deal of distrust, and sometimes
strongly suspect that those telling
them are not conspirators at all, but
only miserable creatures posing as such
and trying to pass as plotters in good
standing without having the necessary
credentials.
.Sometimes a conspirators band is
organized in the penitentiary among
the I. prisoners and then they have a
great deal of trouble to provide them
selves with enough Incriminating docu
ments to go round, for paper and pens
and ink are difficult to obtain In prison.
There have been violent quarrels be-1
cause of this scarcity of incriminating
documents in such cases, those -without
any complaining bitterly at the unjust
discrimination which left them paper
less. Never Lose the Documents.
Occasionally the police or" the sol
diers have given chase to a suspect in
the open country and have pressed him
so hard that the poor fellow has been
obliged to throw away his arms and
ammunition and discard his clothes
and shoes and swim rivers and crawl
naked through the brush. At last he
has been trailed down and caught,
nearly dead from exhaustion, bleeding,
bruised, a mere -wreck of a man with
"them papers" clutched in his right
hand, giving complete lists of all the
conspirators of his union and their
addresses, together with location of
meeting places (with maps) and full
details of an assassination planned,
with time, place and names of those
involved. The hardest worked men in
Mexico are the secretaries of the vari
ous conspirator brotherhoods who have
to make out all the incriminating pa
pers for the members.
Zapata's Documents.
Emiliano Zapata, that terror of the
south, despairing of ever being caught
with his incriminating documents on
his person, took great pains to leave
them behind at Huautla when he fled
from that stronghold in the state of
Morelos. He knew that the federals
would find them there and read them
and that his reputation as a conspira
tor would be safe. Dearly as Zapata
loved those incriminating documents,
he parted with all of them rather than
endure the shame of being suspected a
sham and a fraud and a poseur. The
documents he left behind him were
complete and convincing, and proved
beyond question that he was one of
the most conspiring conspirators and
persistent plotters in all of Mexico.

Police Great Document Hunters.
There are instances on record where
suspected plotters have mysteriously
disappeared and their relatives have
known them no more, but "in all such
cases the missing ones invariably were
careful to leave their incriminating
documents where the police could find
them without trouble, thus making it
pleasanter for all. Sometimes the in

and discover nothing what

Then the police will come and glance

truly remarkable system of the secret
