PHOENIX, ARIZ., Dec. 9.—The ex
ecutions by soldiers under General
Villa of Mexican Federal officeholders
in Juarez when the city was captured
by Constitutionalists Is defended in a
letter written by Generul Venustiano
Carranza to Governor George W. P.
Hunt, of Arizona, and made public to
day by the Executive. Carranza says
that through a lack of a full under
standing of Mexican problems an out
sider might place a wrong construc
tion on the acts of the Constitutional
ists.
‘‘That is dtie," the letter says “to
the fact that criminal acts with which
this struggle was begun and the cruel
measures to maintain it are forgot
ten.”
General Carranza relates that a
corrupt minority of the defeated
factions" has attempted to control
the Government by violence, murder- |
ing. destroying property and forcing 1
peaceful men and boys to enter the
army to oppose the Constitutionalists
who are. “fighting for the liberties of
the people.”
Men Given Clemency Before.

ranza’s letter, “the Huerta officers
were tried and executed at Juarez.
\mong them were some who Viad been
captured at Torreon by this same
General Villa, who. after pardoning
them, agreed that they should be en
listed by our forces. Thereafter they
had endeavored, though unsuccessful
ly. to create a. defection of the men I
had intrusted to their command,
finally deserting to re-engage in
crime.
“It is true that the established
principles observed in international
wars extend to prisoners the privilege
of pardon or immunity from bodily
harm, but in civil struggles the most

of the city.
This section was taken by General
Benevides, the (’onstitutionalist com-
rounder here, in response to orders
transmitted from the city of <’hi-
huahua by General Villa, who fears
that the Federal troops marching
north may be planning a sudden at*
tack on Juarez.
Many civilians crossed over to El
Paso during the night. • They fear
that another battle is going to take
place here.
A message was received front Gen
