THE INDIAN AT OLIS JOURNAL, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 29, 1895.

oor.v'reCi that the Turks aimed at the complrfi xTfcrmlnat!on of the Armenians In the Ghtlleguzan ana Talort district!. Ire report of the consular delegates recoixi.N that the protests made by the delegasra against the intimidation of witnesses ami the suborning of evidence by government agents, and their attempt to remedy this state of things were always fruitless, so that elucidation of the truth was very difficult. Especially on the question of the violation of women did the commission display the greatest repugnance at discovering the truth. Only four female witnesses were heard, the commission refusing to hear'othors. For a similar reason the details of the Ghelleguzan massacre are still wrapped In obscurity. The memorandum of the British delegate, Mr. Shipley, which has been quoted above. Is a most Interesting document and Is couched In less severely official form than the delegate's report. Consul Hampson, who made a tour of the villages, puts the number of victims' at twenty to sixty a village. Mr. Shlp:ey, therefore, thinks It fair to estimate forty dead for each of the villages destroyed. lie was unable to gather any evidence. as to the truth of the alleged massacre at the convent of Surperpa, but he thinks that all such stories were so enormously exaggerated If not absolutely Invented, lie says that the story of the torture of the priest O'Hannes, at GheiletrdZ2.ru seems to have some foundation, but the alleged flaying of the Armenian, Shero, by Colonel Tewfik, Is extremely doubtful. Without desiring to appease the Armenians. Mr. Shipley emphasizes the fact that they were exposed to the rapacity of government officials and to the exactions of the Kurds, who would have burnt their houses and stolen their cattle unless they had paid ;thelr demands. It is easy to understand, Mr. Shipley continues, that the Armenians could not pay taxes and satisfy the Kurds, and as the government did nothing to keep the Kurds in order one cannot be surprised that the Armenians were discontented. Consul Hampson also attaches a report of the inadequacy of, and the obstacles to the distribution of relief. Among the official dispatches is one from Mr. C. M. Hallward. Rrttlan vice consul at Van, written in November, l&M. which describes a horrible butchery by the Kurds at S.issoun, when men were burned alive, a Ghellguzan priest was tossed on bayonets and sixty girls were driven to a church and

the soldiers then ordered to dispose of them as they liked and then to massacre them. Mr. Shipley doubts this story. The editorials in the morning papers on the Armenian blue book mostly comment on the fact that they only picture the overture to a long tale of massacre, and that the careful report of the delegates has Justified every denunciation yet published of the Sultan. Sachtleben Criticises Terrell. ALTON. III.. Jan. 2S.-W. L. Sachlteben. the American cyclist sent to Asia Minor to search for Frank G. Lenz, the missing Pittsburg wheelman, has written another letter to his father in this city. The young American is still at Erzeroum, and takes occasion in his letter to strongly condemn .far. Terrell, the United States minister at Constantinople, for his refusal to assist in the capture and prosecution of the murderers of Lenz. As will be remembered from Sachlteben's last letter to W. M. Sauvage, recently, the murderers of Lenz were released from prison by the Kurd3 and soldiers during their massacres at Erzeroum, .undoing all the -work accomplished by the American. Among the twelve men locked up for the murder of Lenz were four Armenians, but only the Kurds were released by the rioters., After things had quieted down somewhat Mr. Sachtleben says he attempted to recapture the Kurds released, but Minister Terrell showed no disposition to aid him, and he is well irl?h discouraged, being powerless to "work alone, as the sruilty men have friends everywhere who -would willingly kill him should he become too aggressive In his endeavors to have the- Kurds axain Imprisoned. Mr. Sachtleben expresses a hope of being home before a-jrreat while. His attempts to bring the murderers of Lenz to Justice promise nothing but failure and great personal danger, and he will leave Erzeroum if an opportunity presents itself. The Armenian Resolution. WASHINGTON, Jan! 28.-The concurrent resolution requesting the President to communicate to the governments of Europe parties to the treaty of Berlin, the wish of Congress that these powers should Intervene to protect the Christians in Turkey, reachetl the State Department late this afternoon, and was sent over to the executive mansion for consideration of the President. While this resolution does not require the approval of the President It may be that he will deliberate seme time before acceding to the request, in view of the Importance of the subject and the possible far-reaching - results of acceding to the request of Congress. , Macedonians Mny Revolt. CONSTANTINOPLE, Jan. 28.-The government has taken $600,000 from the official pension fund with, which to meet urgent state requirements. Mauser rifles are to be given to the troops as soon as possible. It Is believed this step is due to the fear that aninsurrectionary movement In Macedonia Is Impending. EXLISTSlkxTS AT CARACAS. Sixteen Thousand Venezuelans Have Joined the Militia. NEW YORK. Jan. 23. A special to the World from Caracas, Venezuela, says: A Paris cable confirms the news that Germany will demand immediate payment of the railroad debt. It Is reported that a German squadron now at Havana will enforce the demand. The press here claim that the debt does not call for more than diplomatic) negotiations, and should be settled In the courts. The Venezuelan government Is having dally conferences and will probably meet tha demand without protest. The enrollment of militia continues. Sixteen thousand meo have been enlisted to datte in Caracas alone, which. has a population of seventy thousand. Other cities are equally patriotic, and report proportionate enlistments. The Society for the lfense of the National Territory has-established a military academy. Foreigners rivlrig here who are familiar with military tactics and maneuvers have offered to give Instruction gratis. Much excitement has been caused by the news tha;t Spain will refuse to allow the American commission access , to the archives In. her possession bearing on the boundary dispute. It is believed here that Spain tears, the displeasure of Kngland. Spain's action Is attributed to the action of the United States In Insisting on the payment of the Mora claim and the aid which is given in the United States to the Cuban insurgents. A CVXXI.XS SirnDERER. XIow a Prrorhman Tried to Make Ills Victim Appear as a Salclde. PARIS, Jan. 28. In the Court of Assizes at Draguinan, Victor V. Robello has been sentenced to Imprisonment with labor for life, for the murder of Abbe Gabriel Segui, In Old Compton street, Soho, London, In October, ISM. Segui belonged to a rich and influential family in the Argentine Republic. He was found dead in the bed in a private hotel, hanging from the bed post by a silk handkerchief, which had been tied tightly around his neck. Nobody then knew who he was, but on the table in the room was found this note: "Dear Sir Do not accuse anybody of my death. I am finished with life. I ftm gustei with my family. I do not reauire any noise after my death. I have no papers. I do not wish anybody to know the other motives. Once more, keep silent, so as not to have any scandal. May God bless you. LOL'IS CASERES." "I am a native of Peru." It was concluded that the dead man was Caseres, and that he had in fact committed suicide until a few days afterwards, when the officials of the Argentire legation, Segui having been chaplain in tho army, identified the dead man and told the police his proper name. They also concluded that they had reason to believe that there had been foul Elay. It was found that an unidentified man ad forged begul's signature to a draft for 4!. and had obtained the money from a bank in Havre. It was. however, months afterward before Rolello was arrested at Toulon for taking part in a brawl. He was personating Gabriel Segui at the time, and has been proved to have been Segui's murderer. The police have succeeded In ipr.'ng that Robello was formerly a server In Abbe Segui's employ and that after murdering Segu! h appropriated his documents to use In furthering hla plan of passing as Segui himself.

WILL SLAY NO MORE SEGIIO DESPERADO LYXXI1ED BY MOB OF WEST VIRGIMAXS. Ilia Xante Wait Jones, and lie. Had Killed a Postmaster nnd Wounded a Conductor and Miner. RLUEFIELD, W. Va.. Jan. 2S.-Alcx. Jones, a negro desperado, "boarded a passenger train at Keystone last night. He was under the Influence of whisky, very boisterous and quarrelsome. Conductor McCullough came through the cars, and. after demanding fare from Jones, advised him to be quiet. The negro became much incensed and when an attempt was made ,to eject him he pulled two revolvers from a belt and began firing promlscously through the train, which was crowded with passengers. He emptied both revolvers and attempted to reload, but was overpowered by the trainmen. When the siroke had cleared away and the excitement had abated it was discovered that W. II. Strother, ppstmaster at. Elkhorn, was shot through the abdomen. The wound resulted In almost Instant death. Conductor McCullough was shot in the side, but not seriously, and Peter Rice, a colored miner, was "shot through the right breast and probably fatally injured. Jones was Incarcerated In the Ekhorn Jail to await the arrival of a train by which to convey him to Huntington for safe keeping. The train arrived at 2 a. m.. and the officers and prisoner boarded It without molestation. Meanwhile a mob had been organized at Welch, fifteen miles west of Keystone, and had marched to Hemphill, a small station one mile west of Welch. The train was flagged by a danger signal and the mob, numbering one hundred men, boarded it, and, with pointed Winchesters, forced the officers to release their prisoner. They dragged Jones a short distance to a tree, where he was swung to a limb and his body riddled with bullets, the following note being attached: "This deed was done for the purpose of example and warning to negroes. Beware!" Some of the most prominent and influentlan citizens of this section composed the mob. Jones, it Is alleged, had killed three men prior to his last offense. Excitement is at a high pitch. An effort was made by Jones's friends to rescue him from the angry mob, but It proved to be futile. W. H. Strother was one of the best known men in this section and had numerous friends. He had just succeeded Paul Fletcher, who was killed a short time ago, as postmaster at Elkhorn. Murderous Plot Revealed. WICHITA, Kan., Jan. 2S.-In the trial of F. M. Williamson, charged with murdering Henry H. Leonard to secure the latter life insurance, Michael Jordan, an old soldier, took the stand and created a sensation. He swore that Williamson approached him last October, a month toefore the crime was committed, and suggested that 'he knew where. 5S0O could easily be made. Williamson told him that he knew a woman who held a five-thousand-dollar insurance policy on the life of Leonard, and that she would give $500 of the insurance to a man that would kill him. Williamson then told Jordan all the details of the murderous scheme, and Jordan repeated them in court. The theory of the State has always been that Williamson consented to a divorce from his wife that she might marry Leonard, and under agreement that they would afterwards kill Leonard to get the Insurance on his life. Ravished nnd Murdered. DIGBY, N. S., Jan. 2S.-The body of Annie Kempton, the sixteen-year-old daughter of Isaac Kempton, was found horribly mutilated in her home at Digby to-day.

ALONZO'S CITY "JAG "

JL'ROR IV KELLER MURDER TRIAL CREATED A SCENE IX COURT. The Rev. Covert Lours Ills Libel Salt Against the Medium Shelby ville Saloon Keepers Fined. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Jan. 28. A drunken Juror showed up in the Keller case this morning and for a time there was some doubt as to what course would be pursue! by the court. Juige Taylor had allowed the Jury to separate last night because some of them had business and domestic affairs to arrange before they were taken in charge by the bailiff. All showed up at the appointed hour to-day but Alonzo Soules, of Otter creek. Word came to the Judge that he was drunk. The Judge directed that he be brought Into court and, staggering slightly and blinking rapidly, he came in the room with a deputy sheriff and found his devious way to the one vacant chair in the Jury box. There he 'sat and blinked, pulling at his big, drooping mustache. For more than an hour the Juige and the counsel In the case discussed the situation in the hope of finding an easy way out of the dilemma and one which would not open the way . for technical fault in the trial. At 10 o'clock Judge Taylor resumed his seat on the bench and Mr. Iamb, for the defense, made a motion that the Jury be discharged, that juror Soules be relieved from duty and that the other eleven then be resworn in the case. The motion, he said, was the result of an agreement with the counsel for the State. Judge Taylor granted the motion kind or dered the sheriff to take charge of Soules and Keep him in custody until he shouid be called on to answer for contempt of court. it is sal a or .Mr. soules that he is a well-to-do farmer, a man of good reputa tion and a citizen who would not have been suspected of such an escapade. He is not in the habit of going on 'sprees and those who are well acquainted with his habits do not know how to account for his peculiar lapse. Amos Hixon. of Riley town ship, was called. He was accepted and at 100 Prosecutor Maxwell, of Parke coun ty, began making the opening statement for the btate. He had diagrams, photo graphs and plats for use In describing the scene or the tragedy. He said that on the day Clara Shanks arose from the dinner table and left bare headed and barefooted, never to return. Dan Keller said to tho searching parties that his wife and sister had seen Clara going down the road. There was no trace of her down the road. All afternoon the Keller women were on the lookout at the windows of their house and Dan Keller stood guard In front. They did not Join In the search and late that night lights were seen In the windows of the Keiler house. Mrs. Keller had threatened to "mash Clara's head" If she ever came across the road to the Keller house. Dan Keller had accused the girl with having ac cepted his vile proposals and this so stung the girl that It is claimed by the prosecution she went over to the Kellers to declare her innocence and that tney then murdered her. Sunday morning Dan Shanks went to the oir creek pool and, wading in It, touched his sister's body. He ran home and told his mother and, taking hla shotgun. went to the Keller house, where he called Dan Keller to the door, fired at him and missed him. The Keller women went over to the Rice house for breakfast and the Rices will tell how suspiciously they acted. Dan went to Rockville to file an affidavit against Dan Shanks. He afterward met Dr. McKey and asked if Clara's body was bruised and when the Doctor said it was he turned white and said that his wife was Jealous of Clara and that he (Keller) had told his wife to "go ahead and he would stand by her to the end." When the court adjourned at noon Judge Taylor gave orders that none of the Jury men should drink intoxicating liquors. In in the afternoon John E. Lamb made the statement for the defense. He said it was an outrage that the sister. Maggie Keller. should have been indicted and that it was done to discredit ber testimony in the case against herbrother and his wife. He said the girl committed suicide by drowning. When her body was first taken from Wolf creek pool two physicians examined it and they found no external evidences that she had met with violence at the hands of any one. The next day two other physicians examined the body and they made a like report. It was twelve days later when the boJy was exhumed and the evidence of a crushed skull and broken neck wero found. The defendants will go on the stand, he said, and tell their story. The taking of evidence began with the testimony of Mrs. Elizabeth Shanks, the mother of the girl. She told of Clara's complaint to her that Mrs. Keller was treating her coldly. The witness said she went to Mrs. Keller and asked for an ex planation and was told that Clara was too thick with Dan Keller, her husband. The mother would not believe It and Mrs. Keller made Dan say it was true. He would not do so until the wife told him he must or make her out a liar. The last the mother saw of her daughter alive was when she left the dinner table July 6 and started for the Keller house to make Dan tell the truth. THE MEDIUM DISCHARGED. Elder Covert Loses His Case Smart Technicality. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. on ANDERSON, Ind., Jan. 28. A fierce legal flght was witnessed at the preliminary hearing of Dr. Adams, who was recently arrested for criminal libel at the Instiga tion of Elder Covert, of the Church of God, and the "Doctcr" -won. The trial was before 'Squire B. F. McCarty, Who found his court famous for once. The room was packed from wall to wall, and the case had to be transferred to the City Hall, and that too was Inadequate to accommodate all the crowd eager for a sight of the little man who had sought to "expose" the elder. Attorneys Kittlnger and Reardon ap peared for the defendant, who did not be tray Vhe least emotion, although KIder Covert was quite restless. Mr. Klttinger filed a motion to quash the alfldavit, as he charged it did not state facts sufficient, under the law, to sustain a criminal action. This was argued for nearly two hours, the State, represented by Prosecuting Attorney Scanlan, proving to the satisfaction of the court that he had a case in court. Then Elder Covert was placed on the stand. He boasts of being a lawyer well versed in the practice and having had ex perience in the United States Supreme Court, but In the first question that he an swered he gave his case away. "What Is your name?" asked the prose cutor as he took the stand and smiled on the crowd. -William Ross Covert," readily responded the Elder. "Where do you reside?" "In Anderson. Ind." "That will do." put in attorney Klttin ger for the defense. "I move to dismiss the case." And then he showed to the court that the charge was arainst W. R. Covert and not William Hoss Covert, as the latter had sworn. There was a heated discussion over this point, but there was no alternative, and Adams was dismissed. Dr. Adams was at once surrounded by hundreds, who heartily congratulated him on his release, and many offers of assist ance were made to him in the court room. Elder Covert was much chagrined over the turn of affairs, and declared that he will file a new. affidavit and have Adams re arrested. Friends, however, are doing all in their power to get him to let the'matter drcv. THE AMISII TRIALS OVER. Most of Them Pleaded Guilty and Paid Their Pines. Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

There was great surprise In the court room when attorney Reed announced that the remaining defendants charged with violat ing marriage laws would plead guilty, and asked the court to be merciful. The court fined Jacob Swartz. David Swartz. Peter Swartz and Christian Swartz, four brothers, who are deacons and leaders of the Arrlsh Church. for each offense committed.

The robbery occurred on the night of Nov. 11 at the Santa Fe depot in Colorado Springs. Just after the night train pulled out south. George Krout, the agent, said that two men had overpowered hlm:in his office and taken two packages consigned from Denver banks, which contained $&,00O, overlooking another package containing $15,000. "As Mr. Krout had been In the employ of the Wells-Fargo Express Company for a number of years suspicion did not at first point to him. He told a very plausible story, and it was believed in epite of the fact that the robbery was reported by him to have taken place when the station platform was full of reoDle. He said the rob bers hid in the office while he was looking after the express matter that came off the train, and two masked men faced him when he entered. They closed the door and locked It, made him deliver the money, and, at the muzzle of a pistol, ordered him to get into bed and cover up his head. There was a cot in the office, and the agent said he did as the robbers bid him, but he gave the alarm as soon as they were off. Kroufs father, a farmer, came to Colorado Springs from Cerro Gordo, 111. His actions excited suspicions and he has been constantly shadowed. Yesterday he boarded a train on the Gulf road, after having purchased a ticket for Fort Worth, Tex. Detective W. B. Sayres boarded the same train and telegraphed Sheriff Ed Fair to meet him at Watsonburg. There' Krout was arrested and to-dav he was taken back to the Springs. He protested that his name was Sam Jones and that he knew nothing about the express robbery. Wrhen he was searched $4,600 was found, most of it sewed to the inside of his sairt.

Ander son, the prisoner held at police headquar ters for robbing the houses of James L Kernochan, in Hempstead,-L. I., and of J.F. Oakes, in Mamaroneck. is believed by acting Captain O'Brien to be a profes sional suburban burglar. The detectives have not been able as yet to fix on him the guilt of these two crimes but they are confident they will succeed before long, and If not, they think they can send him to other cities or towns where he can be sent to-prison. He is a Chicago criminal, and the police of that city have been ; notified of his capture here. In Andersen's pockets were found nearly fifty return railroad tickets to points on Long Island and West chester county, and in the West to various cities and towns In Illinois and Wisconsin. The dates these tickets bear correspond very nearly wiih robberies committed in the places of the purchaser s destination. The property seized in his trunks has been identified as part of losses by theft from many different places in this and in other States. And the detectives say he has probably been of that rare class of ex pert criminals who do nothing In cities, where the police are expert and vigilant. but systematically rob country houses.

I believe that If a pastor of a fashionable church were t6 denounce any particular play as positively immoral, it would very soon disappear from the stage. A very large percentage or the ordinary piaygotrs are communicants of the churches, and a wellconsidered condemnation of a play woulJ certainly Injure its popularity. "Christian people" would not think it "respectable" to sit through a play which had been condemned by their spiritual pastors. All that is needed Is a little more ministerial courage with regard to the stage, and it will very soon be seen that the pulpit rea'.ly possesses more power in this direction than it .ver had in the history of the modern drama.
