THE WYOMING MASSACRE.
Fifty Chin anen Killed aud wounds d
and Five Hundred Driven from the


The latest news from Rock Springs,
Wyoming, Indicate the state of affairs
much worse taan al first reported
Every Chiuamsn, over 500 ia number,
has been drivcn out of town. Fifteen
dead Cinnamon have thus far been
discoveries, and thtre are as many
more dead bodies probably in the
ruins. Fifty houses belonging to the
railroad company and fifty more own
ed by the Cinnamon were burned.
The Cinnamon are yet in the hills,
west OF the town, without food, afraid
to go to Green River City, q distance
Of about ten miles. Governor Warren
is now at Rock Springs, with General
Superintendent Dickinson and Super.
intendent " urte1e, of the western
division of the Union Pacific Railroad.
No more disturbances are anticipated.
Food will be sent to the starving CHI
namen in the hills by the authorities.
Colonel Bee, the Chinese consul at
San Francisco, Cal, has received the
following dispatch from Evanston,
Wy. T., relative to the massacre of
Chinese at Rock Springs: ''The Aum-
Der of Chinese killed outright was
eleven. There are a large number Of
wounded still in the nils, many of
whom will probably die. The Chi
nese dare not go out in search Of
them" The dispatch concludes stat
ing that it was nothing but q massacre
of defenseless people.
A Cheyenne dispatch says: The
worst has evidently not been told re-
garding the anti-Chinese riots in the
west part Of Wyoming. According to
advices from Evanston, where the
second largest coal mining camp of
the Union Pacific Road is located, the
movement was preconcerted one. 1t
had been arranged that the first ats
tack upon the Chinese was to be made
III Carbon, a mining town about $50
miles east of Rock Springs, to be fol-
lowed by like movements IN the latter
place and Evanston. The Rock
Springs miners, however, took the
initiative and the result there has been
announced. The mob at that place
looted the houses Of the Chinese be.
fore setting fire to them. The OUT
RACES commenced in Mine No. 6,
where three Chinese miners we're at
tackled and killed. Then the riot
commenced all over town, even
women joining with loaded shot guns
in their hands. Superintendent
Evans, of the coalsmines, has been
warned to leave town, and he did so
with alacr1ty, passing through here en-
route for Omaha. Nothing can be
heard from Carbon. The operator
there is evidently afraid to send news.
From Evanston the sheriff of Uintah
county telegraphed to Governor War
rem as follows: "a large number of
citizens, with myself are satisfied that
the outrages committed at Rock
Springs will be repeated here, and are
liable to break out at any time. We
need troops to protect the lives and
property OF our citizens" Governor
Warren is at Green River, but he has
telegraphed to the commanding Off
GERS at Fort Steele and D. a. Russell,
and troops are ordered to hold them
selves in readiness TO move at a mo-
ments' notice.

In Court at New York.

NEW YORK, Oct 20 In the Ferd Ward
trial Wednesday testimony was introduced
TO show the circuitous road Ward took in
going home after he heard of the
bank failure, and then the pro ,e-
tion rested. An attempt was at
once made by the defense to compel the
prosecution to state upon what count of the
indictment they depended, counsel declar-
ing that the instrument contained three
distinct charges of crime. The
judge said .Lat the case go to the
jury. They may have TO elect before all
the evidence is in." MIR Cochran then
opened for the defense. He put particular
stress on his suggestion that Fish was a con.
vict, and his testimony should be taken for
what it is worth. as he could not be punished
further even if he committed perjury.
William S. Warner was the first witness
called. During his testimony when he told
that the check had been received for money
invested as he supposed in government con-
tracts, there was a ripple of laughter
throughout the room.
Ths other testimony was Of very little i'm
portance, and Gen. Tracy asked the dis

The court denied the motion.
Gen. Tracy summed up the evidence

upon the fact that Fish as convict, was
not attenable to any penalty for perjury
and hol olding that he was urged by vim :

lows summed up for the state, contrast
ing the actions of Ward and Fish at the
time of failure. The former ran away,
the latter awaited the catastroph like a
man. Judge Barrett began his charge at
6:30 He defined the law and read the
statute covering the crime charged. The
question was as to whether defendant had
an intent to defraud, and of such char
acter as to deceive person of ordinary
precedence Had Ward procured S7l 800
in such II way? The whole case rested on
the one point, had Ward obtained GER
tihcate of the $71 800 check. 1t was for
the Jury to decide on the evidence of
James d. Fish and his brother, testimony
of neither being contradicted. Ward was
not alone on trial, but justice too was on

the jury and last of all, money should not
interfere with verdict. The jury re

clear whether or not the bank certified

failing, as his failure would pull the bank
down also. The testimony was read to

IKE EPlNG THE SENSATION HIDDEN.
The BOSTON, Baltimore ynlainy Unutter-
ably Horrible.


BoSToN. Oct. % - From all that has sc
far been Learned of the mysterious and
1iab olical plot to make away with the
young wife Of Mr.. Edward l. Mellen, OF
Baltimore, it would appear that the imag'
mary schemes of criminal deeds to be
found in the blood and thunder weeklie,
are surpassed by this story of
real life D,tective circles in
this city and Baltimore ME stirrel
as they never wero before and mon
of many years experience with crime in its
worst forms are astonishei at the revela-
tions already made and those that are
promised. 1t is said by the police, who per-
sistently refuse to enlighten the public on
the affair, that what has leaked out in the
newspapers is not one twentieth of the
whole story aui that when the whole truth
is given out the community will be shocked
and startled at the revelations.
Mr. A. l.. Mailen is known to have been
here under several aliases, two OF which
were Jones and Simmons. The authorities
have positive proof that he and Mrs. Cool
idge held several conferences in this city,
and lie was seen to stand in the smoking
room door at the Revere house and watch
John Donahue. alias Bull, counting the
$1,000 package of money. 1t is said that
since her arrest Mrs. Coolidge has
told her husband that she should never
have let the plot go to the point Of murder,
her only object being to swindle Mellen out
of his money, having done which, she meant
to drop thu affair, secure in the belief that
hr could not "queul" without expo,ing him
self Mrs. Coolidge was born in Cambridge,
is 33 years Old, and is quite deaf. She has
bsen married twice, her first husband g
name being Hall. She has one daughter by
Coolidge.
A Philadelphia special to The Herald says
that A. l., Msllen was at the Colonnade
hotel in Philadelphia Tuesday night, in
charge of two men, supposed to be de-
tectives. Hs was much agitated when
accosted by the reporter. He
said that the story of the con-
spiracy was absurd. He first
heard it while on the way to New York
with his wife He left tho train at Trenton
to return to Baltimore, but got no further
than Philadelphia. He knew Mrs. Cooedge
whom he first met three or four years ago
at Saratoga where he knew her simply as a
guest at the hotel He saw her again at
Saratoga six months ago So far as he
knsw she was not acquainted with his SON
He sail that Mrs. Coolidge was q crank and
must be- crazy.
At this jUncture a tall man who had been
watching Mr. Mellen intently from a dis.
tancs approached and took him aside and
whispered in his ear Mr. Melen returned
to The Herald reporter and said 81 have
changed my mind. I'll go to Baltimore by
the first train and settle this matter" Mr.
Mellen went to bed after leaving orders to
be called for the o'clock train.
