Mexican leaders with his power
would have done that?”
Ypina declared that Villa was not
the dark, uncouth, Ullterate kiUer
that he had been pictured to Amer-
icans.
“Villa was over six feet tall and
weighed about 220 pounds,” he said.
“His complexion was light. His
mustache was red as fire and his
hair a deep auburn. His physical
strength was exceeded only by his
skill with a gun.
“You’ve heard about it that he
couldn’t read or write. That’s a lie.
He could do both well. I know
that, for I was with him almost
constantly for two years whUe he
received and gave orders."
The revolutionary chieftains gain-
ed his gory reputation, not through
his own deeds, Reynosa and Ypina
declared, but through his lieuten-
ant, Fierro.
“Fierro was a killer—the worst I
ever saw," Reynosa said. “He killed
hundreds of people. Some of them
were Villa’s own men. I’ve seen him
shoot men and women ih cold blood.
When he couldn’t kill people, he
went down to the stockards and
shot cattle.”
The former revolutionist verified
the Incident In which the governor-
general was placed on an anthill,
daubed with honey and left to be
devoured slowly by insects.
“But they got what they deserved,”
they avowed. “He was one of the
assassins of (Mader|o whom. Villa
loved and had: made president of
Mexico when he deposed Diaz in
1911."
They said the bandit king never
went out of his way to kill any-
body except Chinese.
“He used to hang them up by
their queues to watch them kick,”
Reynosa said. “Then he would
shoot them. Nobody ever knew
why he hated the Chinese. But he
never forgot to look them up when
he entered a city.”
Villa didn’t drink or smoke, but
his love of sweets and women led
to an international incident.
“When we got to Mexico City aft-
er deposing Victoriano Huerta,”
Ypina recalled, “the first thing
Villa did was to go to Hotel Impe-
rial for candy.
“A French blonde was the candy
girl there. Villa bought his candy
and came back again and again.
The French girl encouraged him.
“Later,” they contiued, “she be-
came Indignant arfd ran to the
French ambassador asking protec-
tion. Well, the ambassador threat-
ened and so did Villa, but their
friends smoothed things over and
Villa laughed and went about his
business.”
“El Gran Bandido” succeeded be-
cause he was fearless, a great lead-
er and had the respect of his men,
Reynosa and' Ypina declared.
“We went ‘over the top’ 25 times
within three months on one cam-
paign. And Who do you think led
each time? Villa, He carried all
details of his campaigns in his
head. He never forgot anything.
He could give orders without hesi-
tating.”
Villa was assaslnated. Reynosa
and Ypina are alive, they said, only
because they were not captured by
the federals.
“When they captured our men
they stood them up against a wall
and shot them down like dogs.”
