"WASHINGTON, April 17. One American trooper in Colonel Howzc's
command in Mexico has been killed and two others wounded in clashes with
Villlstas, according to a report reaching the War Department today from
icncral FuiiBton. Colonel llowzc alto reported that Villa was believed to have
gone with a small band into the mountains southwest of Horjn. The Itowzc
report was:
' "Have passed south southeast to Bnlloza Valley. Turned toward I'arral.
Had several brushes with Villistns. Our casualties, Kirby, Troop M, killed;
Pctroski and Clinton. Troop E, wounded. At five miles -from I'arral I met
messengers with information of Colonel Hrown and Major Tompkins' trouble.
1 will awnit orders nnd connect with them. I believe Villa with small band
went into mountains southwest of Borj.t. Ira A. Itaber, first lieutenant sig
nal corps, landed safe but wrecked machine."
r hh l'AsO, lex., April l. iho supposed hoily or I'.nicho Villa has Iiccn
delayed in arriving at Cusilr.iirachic, for passage to Chihuahua City, Car-
ranza Consul (tarda iinnr.usi'id ti'is afternoon, indicating that it may be
days before it is definitely c3tablir.hcd whether or not the bandit leader
is dead.
The remains reported exhumed near Satcvo probably will not reach Chi
huahua until tomorrow, Garcia stated.
The -10 Americans principally newspapermen and, motion-picture camera
operators, who started for Chihuahua City to view the body, also were de
layed. Their special train which left early today was stalled after covering
10 miles.
"WASHINGTON", April 17. General FuiiBton late today reported to the
WarJ)cpartmcnl that six Mexicans who took part in the raid on Columbus,
N. M., had been captured and turned over to the sheriff of that town. The
report was forwarded to General r'tiustnn by Major Sample, commanding the
forces now in Columbus. .
SAN ANTONIO.Tcx., April 17. Private I. M. Schcnberg, sent, into
I'arral rhcr.d of the column to announce the coming of Major Tompkins
command, nqver returned and is believed to have been killed, Gcnral Pershing
stated this nfternoon iff a uippknientary report on the Parral affray. Persh-
j. inK,'B-rcpnrt bore out previous indications of treachery, army officers declared.
Pancho Villa is dend nnd hfs body Is en route to Chihuahua City, accord
ing to Mexican reports today. A
The linited States demands -absolute identilicntion of the corpse before
filtering its expedition to Kt Villa or withdrawing its troops. To this end,
Consul Letcher has been instructed to view the body upon its arrival in
Chihuahua City. General Pershing, who is supposed to be not far from Chi
huahua, also should be able toldcntify the body if it is Villa's. ,
American officials, both on the border and at Washington, however, arc
inclined to doubt. They suspect a ruse to end the outlaw chase.
The evidence thus far indicating Villa really is dead includes:
Wndcra and Cusihulrachlc telegraph operators on Mexican
Northwestern Railway so report to Carranza Consul General at El
Paso, Andreas Garcia. '
"-Dispatcher on railrond at Juarez reports he heard a conver
sation on the wire that Villa's body was in the hands of Carranza
troops.
Dr. W." L. Brown, one oL-tho best-known practitioners in El
Paso, says Villa has suffered so much from hloodpoisoning for a year
(.hat a slight wound would provo fatal. Doctor Brown has treated
him for the trouble.
On the other hand, reports from Major Howze, commanding the 11th
Cavalry, say that Villa has been definitely located west of Parral. Troops
are being rushed la that direction and the pursuit continues.

sqlved by Investigations started by- tho
police today, following tho confession of
nn Inmate of 11 Jihode Island penal Instl
'tullon, who says tho young woman Is
dead. Whllo tho police wero searching
for tho body, tho names of tho convict
and his accomplices wcro withheld.
Illn knowledge or tho mystery, tho
convict declares, begins only after the
death of tho Kill. He Fayaiio does nqt
know what tho "Job" was, but ho was
paid $250 for his part In disposing of
tho girl's body.
"Tho job was framed In a 7th avenue"
saloon In New York," tho convict says.
"A rich man took another fellow and
myself to New Rochello lato one night.
Wo were told to protect the gentleman
In case of trouble. I. did not know what
tho job was about but was paid $260 for
my part.
"We reached a house Just outHlde of
New Hochelle, und a man brought n
woman out In his arms. We wero driven
through New York to West Point, where
tho unconscious woman was carried Into
the house and placed on a couch.
"The next night tho limousine called for
me nt tho New York saloon and we went
to tho house outside West Point. Tho
same gentleman carried the woman
wrapped In n sheet to the cellar, where
a gr.ae was dug and she wus burled.
"The girl was Dorothy .mold. I had
nothing to do with the Job but be pre
pared to protect the gentleman in case
of trouble.
"I sat alongside the woman during the
rido in the limousine and can describe in.
in every detail. If I dared, I could name
the man who was hired with me. My life
would be worth llttlo If the gang that
hangs around the Seventh avenue saloon
knew I told of my part In tho Job."
The convict has recently acquired re
llgion, it Is said, and made the confes
sion in order to ease his conscience.
The prisoner, who has served six months
of a two years' sentence, described Jew
elry, which, he said, he had seen on the
girl's body, and declared ho was positive
she was Dorothy Arnold, He also de
scribed in detail the appearance of the
doctor, together with a young man who
hired tho gunman. He asserted that he
was able to point out the location of both
houses.
