Neville, war correspondent nnl former officer on the personal staff ot tho Into Goernor Gonxale or tho state ot Chihuahua denied to day tho accuracy or General Villa's WoKM)hy as publish In tho London TeleRrnph and read In the United States Fcnato by Senator Lodge, or Massachusetts. "I was with Villa almost dally from tho hcclnnlnc or tho Madero revolution 1910 until after ho took the field last Vcar against Huerta Neville said. "To my cortaln knowl ihIkc and from secret service report which 1 received while In the secret pen Ice of President Madero, Villa has never outraged any woman and has never claimed to have hut one wife. This woman Is constantly by his glrio when his military movements will permit and ho lias shown great devotion to her. "The stories that Villa Is a de serter from the Vnlxec States army that he has with him at all times a number of women of 111 fame and that he kept an American girl a pris oner at Monterey for many months nru wild fabrications. Villa ha never been at Monterey, lie has nl was treated Americans with defer ence. "While a young man Villa killed a Mexican federal army officer near his homo at San Andreas after the officer had attacked Villa's sister. From that time on ho was tho object of President Dlat' wrath. When not being tracked by tho federals he worked as a cowboy. Killed Itczn In Self Defease "That Villa killed Francisco Reza Is true. Raze was a member of Villa's band which made war on the government of the state it Chihuahua under Creel and Terrains. Item was captured, placed In tho peniten tiary and then given his freedom when he promised to return to the mountains and assassinate Villa. The peons apprised Villa, and he rodo Into Chihuahua and snot him. "When the Madero revolution started Villa raised an army in the San Andreas district and made open warfaro on tho Diaz government. That ho killed Carlos Alotorre and Litis Ortcz at Casas Grandes In Jan uary. 1911, is not true, as Villa wa not there at the time. Casas Gran des during that month was in tho hands of Diaz. Villa was not there until ho went thcro with Madero sev eral weeus later, ."sot a man was executed In tho town and no ransom was demanded as tho supporters of Diaz had left for Chihuahua when General Valdcz evacuated the place. Guiltier of Crimen "The author of tho London Tele graph article says that Villa tor tured Scnora Mario do la Luzmotnez at IJatopllas In February, 1911. Villa was not at IJatopllas during that month. "Villa never murdered ignaclo Gomez Oyola at Cludaa Juarez In May. 1911, but ho did cxecuto a sa loonkeeper named Mestc. Mefctcs was a follower of Diaz and during tho assault on Juarez, although he was civilian, ho barricaded himself In his saloon and 'sniped' Maderlutas during the battle. After tho fight was over ono of Villa's men asked Mcstes for a drink and the reply was a curse and a pistol bullet In the arm. Villa then courtmartlaled Mcs tes and executed him. I was thero at tho tlmo and saw his body placed In a store building and held for burial. Villa Modo Colonel "At Chihuahua, after tho close of tho Madero war, Villa was inado a colonel and opened up a number of meat markets there. Although J aw him daily I never heard that ho killed anybody but a gang ot bandits who woro captured raiding ranches after tho clono of hostilities. "Villa took Casa Grandes after the murder ot Madero and killed only a fuw soldiers who had murdered Americans. "Joso A. Yauoz, an attorney of Chihuahua City, was killed because ho wus known to havo conspired against Villa. Yanez had a leputa- tlon of boliiK ono of tho biggest crooks In tho state. "Villa has klllud many soldiers formerly In Madoro's urmy who were guilty of treason, but ho has done this bocaiibo tho federals havo mur dered every prisoner thoy havo cap tured. At Galjogo t soldiers who rofuned to Join Huorta whim ho iniir durod Madero woio oxocutod by 90 rlflo shots In loss than ISO minutes.
