LONDON , Dec. 12. The Dally News will
tomorrow publish a dispatch from Constanti
nople , which uiys : For days past Turks and
Kurds have been pouring Into the city from
the devastated regions of Asia Minor. Their
primary bbject Is the disposal of the loot
which they have obtained during the mns-
Eacres. They are also- hopeful of a richer
harvest In'the event of the permitting of n
rising at Stamboul. 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. H Is unwholesomely sig
nificant of the state of affairs that the gov-
cinment is seizing and departing dally num
bers of Armenians of the poorest , but most
tobust classes.
The news from the Interior Increases In
horror with every mall. In placcy within a
small distance massacre and pillage arc still
ot dally occurrence , and everywhere desti
tute Armenians arc flocking Into the
larger towns , where there are no
means of feeding them. No news has
been received from Zeltoun , and nouo li
' expected until the Zetounlls have been
killed. The district swarms with Bashl
Bazouks , and every railroad and bridge Is
guarded with troops.
The Standard's Constantinople correspond
ent saya : "A spontaneous movement Is on foot
In the palace to consider a general scheme
of reform , especially for Macedonia , with a
view to preventing further diplomatic pres
sure. "
The correspondent of the Times at Con
stantinople lays : "Tho ambassadors are
now devoting themselves to compiling a gen
eral table of the massacres and other mat
ters from the consular reports. "
WASHINGTON , D.'c. 12. The Turkish del-
cgatlpn has received the following cablegram
from the sublime porte under today's date :
"Tho Armenians of Khalb ( Blttlls ) had pre
tended that their belongings w.re taken
away during the- various disorders by the
Mussulmans , and the Imperial authorities
ordered an Investigation , which established
the falsity of this assertion , as well as the
tact that these vry Armenians had left to
the care of their Mussulman neighbors nil
they possessed. The latter have since re
stored the goods to their owners. The dis
orders of last month. It Is clearly shown ,
nvcr had a general character , as neither
the Greeks nor the Armenian Catholics had
reason to suffer from the Mussulmans , whose
only object was to- take revenge on the long
planned aggressions of the Armenian rioters. "

LONDON , Dec. 12. A dispatch addressed
to the Associated press and signed by a num
ber of Armenians of Constantinople has been
received here. It says : "Armenia is at her
laut gasp. The work of extermination is
thorough. The number of people massacred
reaches 100.000 and 500,000 survivors have
taken refugeIn the forests and mountains ,
where they are feeding on herbs and roots.
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. Up to date $1,790 nu
been received by those having In charge the
Armenian relief fund. Money Is cabled to
Conftantlnople as soon after Its receipt us
possible. "

of the good last ? cf the house. Herr Haus-
mcnn made othfr remarks on the subject

Dr. Schoenstedt , the minister of Justice ,
replying to Hcrr Ilausmann's strictures on

no such thing In Germany as cne-sldsd Jus
tice. He added that the authorities were
far from wishing to proieciito on the chargs
ot Icse majesto uneducat d people who were
guilty of thoughtless remarks. Hut , he con-
til ucd , the public prosecutors were doing
tl'elr duty In prosecuting these whom th y
fui-iid guilty of the carefully calculate. ! In

said the chancellor , "not to follow Herr
Rebel's advice to restrain the emperor from
strongly expressing his Indignation in the
future , as he has done In the past. "

MEXICO CITY , Dec. 12. ( 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 public
appears to concur with the strangs patient
In his views.

this state. Mrs. Llvermore naa already se

testified that she knew Mrs. Cougar well , and
that she occasionally usul "harsh and abusive
language. " Mrs. Llvermore also tnld she
had never been a member of the prohibition
party of this state.
A letter appeared In the list teaus of the
New York Voice , signed by Mrs. Gougar , In
which she sharply took Mrs. . Llvcrmoro to
task , and fought to show that fehe did not
speak the truth at the trial. Mrs. Cougar
alleges that Mrs. Llvermore supported the
prohibition nominee , nnd quoted from Hon.
John P. St. John , for the'purpose of showing
that she left the republican party and jolnei1
the prohibitionists. Mrs. Cougar also denied
other statements which Mrs. Llvcrmore made
at the trial. Mru. Llvermore , when eecn to

TOPEKA , Dec. 12. All three ot the bodies
of deceased persons found atthe Kansas
Medical eollcga were women who had died of
consumption and there was thus'an apparent
demand for subjects to pursue the study of
that disease by dissection. There ore no
Indications this morning of any violent or
unlawful actions In connection \Vlth the dis
covery of the bodies of well known citizens
at the Kansas Medical college' . . . -The danger
last nght was mainly In the mlnda of youth
ful reporters who thought UiQra might be a
Eensatlon. There Is a determination , how
ever , to bring the body enatchers to light
and see that the penalty Is enforced. At the
meeting of the seven lodges of the Ancient
Order of United Workmen last night there
were members who had not attended for
years.
The Catholics of this city have b5en greatly
aroused by the discovery of the third
body nt the Kansas Medical colleg ? . Rov.
Father Hayden has interested himself In
the matter and openly denounces the college
as a menace to the commiyilty. He dls-
counUnances any riotous action , but is de
termined that no more bodies shall be taken
from the Catholic cemetery. Lawyers have
been employed and the college authorities
will be proceeded against at once- , although
it has not yet been decidedi whether a crim
inal or a damage suit will be Instituted.
A number of hot-headeJ , people still con
tinue to make threats of violence against th !
college , but Is believed that all danger of
such action is passed. Two : of the promi
nent physicians ot the colle.se have either
left town or , are keeping out of .sight.

AlurmliiKT.
COLUMBUS , 0. , Dec. 12. The bng nnd
useful career of Judge Allen G. Thurman
came to n close this afternoon at 1:15 : o'clock
at his residence , corner of Rich street and
Washington avenue. The end was peaceful
In the extreme , and the soul ot the great
man left the earthly habitation without a
sign ot physical distress. At the InUant of
dlssoltltlen and for some hours before Judge
Thurman had been lying In an unconscious
condition. He pussixl merely from sleet
temporary to slcc-p eternal , and the change
was hardly noticeable , even to the love l ones
who surrounded his bedside. In the midst
ot the volumes ot knowledge he prized so
dearly and amid the scenes where * ho has
spent so many pleasant hours ot his old
age the vital spark took wings from the
Image of clay. Shortly after his fall sev
eral weeks ago Judge Thurman's bed was
moved from the adjoining bed room to his
beloved library , and he remained there.
Judge Thurman has lived with his son , Al
len W. Thurman , since the death of his
wife several years ago , and being unable
to leave the house , he occupied apartments In
the second story of the residence , where h&
spent the last days of his life In a remark
ably pleasant and agreeable manner. 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.

at the residence , at 1 On. m. Saturday. While
efforts will be made to have the services as
private as possible , In deference to public
sentiment , all who desire will be given an
opportunity to view the remains at the res
idence. Rev. J. T. Grover , who today cele
brated his SOth blrthdJ.v , will preach the
sermon , tl was Judge Thurmans' request
that If Rev. Mr. Grover wan living and In
good health , the latter should preach the
sermon at ills funeral. Mr. Grover Is at
present city librarian , a position he has held
for twenty-two years , and Is still a very
active man.

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

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. "
