John T. 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

in Heschttrj: timler the ilnto of May 11:
"Dear Sir: In tin unsigned juiid

Misleading; Statement
"As to the $.'.000,000 more which
yon say you will obtain for this dis
trict, may I ask if you will secure it
personally, or with the nid of Sena
tors Chamberlain nnd Lane.
"To say the least, your statements
are misleading to the general public,
especially to those who nre not privi
leged to rend the press dispatches in
the big daily pers. and nre not fa
miliar with the work that is being
done by their representative in con
gress. "I have had -cenred from the pub
lic records at Washington what pur
ports to be n record of all the bills

to nnd including the sixty-third con
gress. With tho exception of private
pen-ton bills which go through ns a
matter of course, each representative
being allowed to introduce from
twelve to fifteen each regular e.hion

have introduced I.Vi bill- and resolu

thnt nre being circulated in
the country press for the enlighten

or the items contained in this $1,000,

for this district without the aid of
