Thilr stories , coupled with the display of plunder , have Inflamed the lowest class of Moslems with an aching desire to attack the bazaars. They arc icady to seize upon the slightest provocation for an attack.

Hunger and cold have begun to make great ravages among them. In the name of humanity and Christianity , save us ! " BOSTON , Dec. 12. The news that Armenia had cabled an appeal for help to the Asso ciated press at London was taken In mis sionary circles hero as undeniable evidence of the desperate need ot those who have suffered from Turkish depredations and have been deprived of everything they possessed by Mussulmans. Rev. Judson Smith , D. D. , secretary of the American Board of Foreign Commissioners , said to a reporter : "Tho statements are creditable. All the Information received by us shows the number killed to reach only about 60,000 , but since our latest advices were re ceived there have been additional ma acrcs which may bring the total up to 100,000 , as stated In the appeal. " Dr. Smith then alluded to the real work of the missionaries of the board , explaining that they had been much hampered by lack of funds , ami said : "The delay In receiving money Is causing so much misery and desti tution among the unfortunates that I will write Miss Clara Barton ot the Red Cross organisation again today urging the neces- elty that this body take up the distribution of relief Immediately.

( New York World Telegram. ) The remarkable care of a patient In the San Pablo hospital Is attracting at- tentlcn all over the republic. The man was condemned to death some weeks ago In the state of Suanajuatro for stealing a large can of kerossne oil. How so scverj a penalty wan Imposed for so trifling an offense. Is not stated. When the day of the execution ar rived he was led out Into the suburbs and placed before a blank wall. A equad of statj troops was stationed a few paces off. At the word "fire" they poured a volleyxlnto the poor unfortunate. Then two soldiers ad- vanc'd until they were standing Just over the prostrate figure , and In this position with their revolvers they tried to fire more bul lets , Into the man's brain. The soldiers re turned to the garrison , leaving the body to ba call'd for by the prison wagon. When they were well out of sight the man , who had not been shot , struggled to his feet and , gaining strength from fear , fled. He- turned his fac ? toward this city and tramped on and on through the long Journey until he reached this capital. Here he was admitted to the San Pablo hospital , where he finally told his extraordinary story. The narrative was supported by three rifle bull ts In the body and by a pistol bullet In the skull. It was further substantiated by a claim by the authorities of Suanajuatro to have their ex- pi Isoner restored to them that they might moke another tffort to vindicate the dignity ot the law. The prisoner himself pleads to be'kept In the capital. He contends that his health has been so Impaired of late that his constitution would not support another execution. He argues , moreover , that though h ; may be getting well in Mexico City , as far as Suanajuatro Is concerned , he Is to all Intents and purposes dead.

The beginning of Judge Thurman's fatal Illness dates from November 7 last , when he fell heavily while walking across the library floor. A few days after the fall Judge Thurman's life was despaired of , but he rallied from the shock , and at times seemed to have regained his old time vigor. No vember 13 Judge Tlmnnan was S2 years of age , nnd on that date several of his old friends called on htm and he had a pleasant chat. On that occasion he smoked a cigar with his friends , and se-emed unusually cheerful and bright. GREW STEADILY WEAKER. Slnco thei accident he had his good days and his bad ones. Ho has been confined to his bd nearly all the time and his physician , Dr. W. H. Whlttaker , visited him dally. That h.i was steadily growing weaker was appar ent to all , and It had been ehown for some tlmo that his lease on life could not be pro tracted much longer. On account ; of his bed sores , and to relieve this unpleasantness , heat at times sat up and stood up , but he had net attempted to walk since his fall. Last Tins- day , when Mr. Whlttaker called , he found his patient sitting up In a chair smoking a cigar and apparently tnjoylng It. He shook handu with the doctor and said : "My dear doctor , sit down and talk to me. " Ho Kcemsd very buoyant and cracked a joke , and , as was hlo habit , told It to the doctor In French. It had been remarked that recently H seemed to be one of Judge Thur man's delights to talk In French , showing the remarkable vigor of hlo mental powrers. Last Tuesday Dr. Whlttaker noticed 'that h ; did not continue his French conversation as long ' us " usual and soon tired ot his cigar , and , \yhen'"ho got back Into .bsd. . his 1pule"wao rather feeble. When Dr. Whltlnker saw Judge Thurman Wednesday about 4 p. m. he seemed ll&tlcss and rather heavy about his eyes and in his mental operations. However , ho recognized the physician and members o fthe family. The change for the worse became quite marked shortly after midnight Wednesday , and at 2 a. m. the family became alarmed and sent for Dr. Whlttaker. At that time Dr. Whlttaker found his venerable patient altnest unconscious. Mucus had filled the bronchial tubes , and his breathing was la bored. Dr. .Whlttaker aroumd him suffi ciently to ask him If he was ( Vilrsty , and Judge Thurman nodded his head In assent. Dr. Whltakor gave him a little water and whisky , which h swallowed with difficulty. He seemed , however , to bo partially con scious ot what he was doing. Ho then sank Into a heavy stupor , from which he was never roused. BEGINNING OF THE END. U was known at 2 a. m. that the begin ning of the end had eat In , and the family were so notified. At 10 o'clock this morn ing Dr. Whlttaker found the patient grad ually sinking. He gave him a little water and whisky , which was swallowed mechan ically. Judge Thurman was perfectly un conscious , and remained BO until he passed away at 1:15 : p. m. At the final scene all of the Immediate family were at his bedside , ell seemed to bo free from all distress , and during the morning hours all that the Bor rowing family could do was to moisten hlu parched lips. Those present at the death scene were Mr. and Mrs. Allen W. Thurman and the following grandchildren : Lee , Miss Katherlne. Allen G. , Jr. , Daniel C. and Sterling Thurman , all children of Mr. Allen W. Thurman. 11 W U3 UtJUlUCU lUillKllb IU 1IUVC tllC IIIIICIUI at the residence , at 1 On. m. Saturday.

PROGRESS OF THE ISH MURDER TRIAL Sltit - Ailtirrri to It * Theory tlint Defendant und IIUVlfe Conn M > lred to .Murder The ( liion- Stntenteiitx. Twelve men have been selected to try the * of the State of Ncbraski against James C. Ish , who la charged with having Jhot nnd killed William II. Chnpple on June 9. 1895. The work of selecting a Jury was completed JuU before noon yesterday and the men cliofcti are : Simon Rice , a farmer of Valley pre cinct ; Edward Croft , a brlckburncr , living at 1341 South Twenty-fourth street ; Samuel A. Butnham , printer , 2110 South Eighteenth street ; David C. Dsobs , stenographer , 1S23 Cass street ; W. B. Wyman , cashier of the Union Pacific at South Omaha ; C. C. Peter son , clerk , 701 South Seventeenth street ; E. A.

Kerr , launilryman. 705 South Tweuty-wventh street ; Henry Good , baker , 2830 Karnam street , and Will Whltmore , traveling talesman. 1818 Webslcr street. The Jury wai selected from tli ? regular panel and none of the- ISO men who were summoned on the special vcnlro' Issued on Monday were needed. They \\oro dismissed at noon. An unusual Incident and one that was em barrassing to the court occurred Just at the completion of the work of empaneling the Jury at noon. W. B. Wyman , cashier of the Union Pacific at South Omaha , passed a note to the court In which he expressed a desire to be relieved from duty on ths Jury. He was examined by Mr. Slabjugh and paid that ho had decided that he could not enter upon the trial of the case with the freedom of mind that a Juryman should have. When examined on Wednesday Mr. Wyman stated that ho had read all of the no\vt papcr accounts of the c.iEC , but thought that ho was able to give the accused a fair and Impartial trial. Ho was closely qucstlonsd by Mr. Gurley and was finally accepted by both the state and the defense. His announcement was very much of a surprise to all ot the parties In terested In the case. REMAINED ON THE PANEL. After he had been examined and questioned by the attorneys Mr. Wyman stated to the court that he had been thinking of the case- during the night nnd was afraid * thai ho ecu Id not , In Justice to his own conscience and convictions , go on with thetrial , ot the case. "You are not entirely without blame , " said Judge Keysor , "for sitting hcra until all of the challenges have been exhausted and then placing the attorneys and the court' In an embarrassing position by asking to be excused from your duty as a Juror. The attorneys for buth.th . ? Mate and the de fense arc satisfied" that you will give tha case a fair hearing and I do not feel like taking the responsibility of excusing you from the panel. Will you take the oath as a Juror ? " ' 'I would rather not , " repll d Mr. Wy man , and there- was an embarrassing pause. Te ) | Juror , however , finally decided that ho wouldt-fuiiiiBie-.hU duties and he took the bath In the case and the jury was completed. With the Jury selected there was no occasion ' sion 'for longer liesplng th ? spectators out ot the room , and when court met for the after noon session every seat was occupied. Thcro were a number of women pnwnt , and during the afternoon proceedings the court room was crowded " to Its utmost capacity. "BALDRIGE OPENS THE CASE. Immediately upon the convening of court Mr. Baldrlge began his opening Ptatemsnt of th ? case to ths Jury. Reciting briefly the facts that Chappie had be-on killed and that James C. Inh and his wife had been arrestsd and held for trial on the c&argc of murder , he said that the plate would show that It was a well laid and well executed plan of Ish and his wife to murder Chappl ? . It would show that Mrs. Ish had sustained lntlmatere- latlons with Chappie for some time prior to the tragedy , and that the husband had dlE- covered the fact and had told his wlfothat she must either kill Chappie o'r that h ? would do some killing hlmnelf. It would Dhow that Ish had gone out on Sunday , the day of the tragedy , looking for Chnpple , and had told a friend that there had been fame monkeying going on at his home , and that he proposed to find the man who was responsible for the trouble and settle with him. It would show that on Sunday evening Chappie passed the Ish residence and that some one beckoned him to come In. Ho was me ! at the door by lah hlmwlf , who welcomed him 1o the housa In which ho was foully murdered. Mr. Bol- drlgo reviewed the evidence of the coroner's Jury , the conflicting stories of the tragedy ? s told by Isb and his wife at the time of their arrest , and premised that the state's evidence of Ish's guilt would be complete and conclusive. Mr. Baldrlge had not taken his seat bc- 'ore Mr , Gurley was before the jury telling Its members what the dcf < * ns ? In ths casa WOUKI of.H win DO wenne sum , "for the Jury to remember a few tilings. The opening statement of thg state's attorney s not evidence. A great d al has been salJ which will not bo shown by th : evidence. It will bo well for the Jury to remember that but on ; person Is on trial In this case , and that person is James C. Ish , ISH'S INDIVIDUAL CAREER. "Th evidence will sho-v that Jamcx Ish s a young man , about 2G years of age , and was born In Omaha. Prior to 1892 lie llveil with his mother In the liana : adjoining that n which the tragedy was enacted. In 1802 ho was married to Mabel E. linger , at Pre- iicnt , a young , unsopilntcart-il ) ! girl but 17 years of ags. They r.'moved to Council Bluffs soon after their marriage and lli-.n lo Lin coln , where their babe was born. Then they returned to Omaha and In Decjmbcr last moved Into the hous ; at 849 Georgia avenue , which had been built for them by the mother of Mr , Ish. The evidence will show that In April last , seven or eight weeks prior to h tragedy , Chappie met Mrs. lab , and i&m that time until hl death he main- allied a masterful and unholy Influence over ler ; an Influence not gained by the seductive wiles that are sometimes HIM ! by men to gain the- affection of erring wives , but by lri'g , by isecret Insinuations and op.n t.reatu ho got this poor girl Into hla power 1-at lie might possess her body , while- her leart he had never had , that he might UBS tor as a source of financial profit by opuii jlackmall. "Wjien James Iih learned from the lips ot his wife thin horrible revelation Ma fecllngi can better be Imagined by you than described ay me. Th ; evidence' will dlwlose that ho went to his mother's home and on his knees : old her the whole- story and received from ler the consolation that only a mother can ; lve. The- evidence will uliow that when Dlupplo vlilted the Ish home on the night of junduy , June 9 , he did to without the solid- atlon of Ish or any one of the household. ! t will bo shown that Jamoo it-h did not know of the visit beforehand. It will be shown hat after Chappl came In lib went out of he room for a moment and returned to find Chappie trying to take- liberties with Mr . I h , It will be shown that when he returned .o ( lie room and attempted lo cuter It he ound himielf face to faro with Chappie , who icM a revolver In hli hand ami who Drtd he first shot at James Uh , "Tho evidence will thow two linen of de- ense for the prisoner. It will show that lie Ired the shots In self-defense , the firit shot mvlng been fired by Chappie , and It will vhow hat the defendant's condition of mind was such that he could not be held reipontlble ( or anything that ho may have done.
