A signed statement that lie lias evidence that Ambrose Bicrce, noted writer, who dis appeared in lOlh, was put to death by n Villlsta firing squad near the Tillage of Icamoli, on the trail to Monterey, was made in the San I'ranclsco Bulletin by J.

Mas a member of Urn band that executed Mr. Bicrce, nod showed tho writer a picture of Mr. Biercc taken from his clothing after the execution. After tho split between Villa nnd Car ranza Mr. Biercc was attached to the Carranxa forces ns a military expert, Mr. Wllkins said, and was captured while directing a mule train bearing a Khipmcnt of nrms out of Torrcon and shot. Although n wide search had been con ducted by influential friends, the Amer ican army nnd the State Department in tho last four years, no trace of Mr. Biercc was ever found until Mr. Wllkins put out his ntntement.
