[00:33.69]He printed lies, forged documents,

[00:38.28]falsified stories of violence,

[00:41.57]wrote provocative 3 editorials, and

[01:06.62]of prime timberland to

[01:08.48]the Mexican outlaw 7, Pancho Villa 8.

[01:40.86]including a set of twins,

[01:43.27] refused to dissolve the marriage,
