BENTOit STABBED TO DEATH IS FINDING OF BRITISH CONSUL Percival's Report Is Result of In vestigation Made by Him For Ambassador Washington, March 23. —British Consul Perceval's official report on the killing of William S. Benton at Juarez, received at the embassy here to-day says "no pistol shots" were fired In the £ght which ended in the ranchman's death, leaving the inference that he was stabbed. I i Consul Perceval's report was the result of his Investigation conducted at the order of Sir Cecil Spring- ice, the British embassador. It does not make Rny definite charge as to the manner of Benton's death, further than to establish that It was not by, shooting as was first sai 1 by Villu, ! who explained that the Englishman i had been executed by u firing squad after court martial. Friends of Benton on the border charged that Villa him self had shot the ranchman with a pistol. The broad inference that Benton was stabbed is regarded as especially significant in connection with other information here that the constition-1 alist commission which investigated' the affair has found that Benton was stabbed by one of Villa's officers, who . is expected to be tried for the crime. I Consul Perceval's report also states that Benton went to Villa, unarmed anrl to protest against the theft of his cattle, and that finding agrees with the contentions of Benton's friends.

Alderman Murray looked at\the dark eyes and the mouth laughing up to him from the bit of pasteboard. "You may go, he said. They went.
