Memoirs of Pancho Villa

Pancho Villa’s pal, Rodolpho Fierro, put a bullet in the head of one of Her Majesty’s Subjects, a certain Scotsman named William Benton.   God and his angels must have seen it as just one in a long series of summary executions throughout the sanguine course of the Mexican Revolution, but the British tend to see privation of the life of a Subject as a threat to the hegemony of the empire itself, and are disposed to make a scene, even over such a scoundrel as Benton.
