No sooner had th train been brought to a standstill by the wreoc of a troop train ahead, caused by the bandits, than they began to board the coaches. Ther swarmed into our car and poked Mausers into our sides, and told us to throw up our hands fcr they'd kill us. "Watch TJs XU1 Oriagoes.' "Then they rifled our pockets, too our blankets and baggage, and even our lunchea "Then Colonel Pablo LopezVin charge of th looting of our car. said: 'If you want to see some fun. Just watch us kill tlies-e gringoes." Afterward he shouted to his followers, 'Com on, boys!' "They ran through our coach, cry ing Viva Villa" and 'Death to the Gringoes.' Then I heard a volley of rifle shots and looked out of the win dow. "Manager Watson was running to ward the Santa Tsabel river, a short distance away. Four other Americans were running in other directions, with th Villlstas shooting at them. Some of th soldiers dropped to their knees to get a better aim. Watson Oot TJp, rail Agala. "Watson fell after running about a hundred yards. Ha got up limping, but went' only a short way farther when he threw up his arms and fell for ward. H1B body rolled Into the river. "Of the two others running for the river, one fell midway there. I learned later that this was Romero. Four bul lets went through him. Th other man was hit twice and killed. "A young fellow, later identified as McHatton, got 40 yards from the train when he was shot and fall. "While this was going on, other Villlstas crowded into the Americans' coach. I couldn't see what happened in there, 'aa a frightful panic brok out In our car. Later I learned that th Americans war unarmed.

"The other Americana were rounded up at the side of the coach and lined up. Then Colenel Lopes selected two of his soldiers as executioners and this nearly caused a fight among th bandits over who should have the privilege of shooting the Americans. "Several Americans In the line had been wounded when the Villlstas shot Into the coach. tThe two executioners used Mauser rtfles. 'One would shoot his victim and then the other soldier would take the next in line. Within a few moments the executions had gone com pletely down the line. The Americana lay on th ground, some of them gasp ing and wriggling In the sand and cinders. "The suffering of the Americans seemed to drive the bandits into a fren zy and as their blood spurted out, the Mexicans cried out. Vlve Villa.' and 'Death to the Gringoes.' "Mercy Chot" Xs Olvem. "General Lopes ordered the 'ttro dl gracia' (mercy shot) given to tho still alive, so the soldiers placed the muzzles of their rifles at the victims heads and fired, putting the wounded out of their misery. "All the bodies were completely stripped of their clothing and shoes. Fourteen bodies were piled together in a heap about a yard from th track.
