THE ANGORA TRIALS.
Great Interest in the Condemned
Armenians.
Secretary Gresham Talks of the Az

Special to The MORNING CALL

NEW YORK, June 19.-At the American
Board of Foreign Missions in this city it is
learned that the outcome of the trial con-
Quoted in Angora against the Armenians
charged with riOting in Ceaarea and
Marsovan last spring has greatly surprised
the board.
Rev. Dr.. c. H. Daniels. district secretary
of the board, said to-day: "Ali the
prisoners are natives. The two professors
who were sentenced to death, Mr.. Thou
maiaD. senior professor Of the college. and
Professor KayayaD, are Innocent. They
were arrested and imprisoned January 2S,
and every request to see them or give bail
for them was refused. Rev. DR.. c. c..
Tracy. president of the college, who has
just arrived here, stated that there was no
evidence connecting the m with the issuance
of the sedtious placards. Yet the two
native professors were not released. If
they are now being declared guilty it must
have been done by the forgery of alleged
documents and by perjured witnesses"
A Washington special says: Secretary
Gresham was shown the cable dispatch
from Constantinople regarding the
matter.
This is the first news l have received of
the result Of the trials" said the Secretary
mo official information on the subject has
yet come to me, and l am. therefore, un-
prepared to say what. if anything, will be
done about it by our Government.
While our Government. as a govern
meni, had no authority to interfereoin the
matter of the two professors condemned
to death, neither of them being American
citizens it had placed every facility at the
disposal of the American friends of the ac-
cused, and the American Consul General
at Copstantiuople had been instructed to
see to the retaining of the ablest counsel
that could be procured"

will be done.

Hatred of Richter.
Special to THE MORNING CALI.

BERLIN, June 19.-The election returns
are virtually complete. Only the report
from one district is lacking and a revision
of the returns may necessitate a few alter
ations, but they will be trivial. The candi-
dates elected number 215. OF these 1Ol
will vote for the army bill and ia against
it.
As expected. the latest returns increased
steadily the list of members upon whom
the Government can rely for support.
Spectators on the Bourse take a san
guine view of the Governments prospects
in second ballots. Imperial and Russian
stocks, which weakened on Friday. were
strong Saturday in consequence of the
report that the Government would have a
small majority at the opening of the
Reichstag.
Liebknecht. the well-known Social
Democratic leader, in an interview to-day,
admitted that the Government would get a
majority in the Reichstag for the army bill
by effecting a compromise with certain
political factions. The compromise would
consist of increasing the numerical
strength of the army by &C. 900 and reducing
the period of service to two years.
Eugene Richter. leader of the opposition
Radicals, has agreed formally with August
BeDel and Wilhelm Liebknecht. the lead
ers of the Social Democrats, TO deliver to
the Social Democrats on the second ballot
all the radical votes he can control in the
constituencies where the contests will be
between the Social Democrats and the can
ddates favoring the army bill. In return
Liebknecht and Bebel will order the Social
Democratic voters to support Richterists
in constituencies where she latter contest
seats with The representatives of the Gov
ernment parties.
The bitterness felt by the Government
parties toward Richter is excessive. In

last Reichstag, and which the recount gives

ALL MUST ANSWER
The Verdict in the Ford
Theater Disaster.
FOUR PERSONS CULPABLE.
Ainsworth, Covert, Sasse and Dant
Held Responsible for the Slaughter
of the Pension Clerks.
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

WASHINGTON. June 19.-It was decided
by Coroner Patterson to-day that Colonel
f. c. Ainsworth should not be summoned
to appear as a witness before the Coroner's
jury investigating the canse of the Ford's
Theater disaster. AS Colonel AiuswOrth
was not willing TO appear as an ordinary
citizen. the Coroner thought nothing could
be gained by calling him in his official
capacity.
The testimony this morning was prin-
cipally in reference to the character of the
material used by Contractor Dant in doing
the work beneath the old theater building.
Witnesses testified to selling Dant the best
materials, but when they were shown
samples taken from the debris they said
they were poor materials and were not the
same as they had sold.
a builder named Carkson testified that
the building. as 1t now stands, is in q dam
gerous condition.
CAPTAIN Thorpe, chief of the supply di-
vision of the War Department, was called
and questioned as to the bond given by
Dant. There was no bond. said Captain
Thorpe. One had been drawn up, but
Dant had come. to him and said that the
man who was going oD the bond was
brick contractor, and he thought he ought
not 10 go on.
The witness had consulted with Colonel
Ainsworth. and Dant had been told to go
on without the bond. Witness said he
should certainly consider that Covert, as
superintendent, should have reported any
danger in connection with the building.
Colonel Ainsworth. said the witness, was
in charge Of the building and responsible
for it.
James A. Connor said that Supernten-
dent Covert told him that Colonel Aims
worth was directly in charge of the work
beneath the building.
Five other witnesses testified and then
the jury retired to consider its verdict.
After being out two hours tie Jury re-
turned with a verdict setting forth tina
Frederick B. Lotus came to his death by
a disaster at Ford's TheateT building on
June 9. They then recite all the crcum-
stances connected with the accident nd
find Frederick c. Aims worth, in charge of
the building; William G. Covert, superin-
tepdent; Francis Sasse, engineer, and
George w. Dant, contractor, responsible
for the killing OF LOTUS. The Jurors fur.
ther find that the failure OF the Govern.
ment of the United States to provide
skilled superinteDdrnts of the work of
repairing and altering its buildings in
charge of the War Department was most
unbusinesslike and IeprehensibIe, and
they are of the opinion that if such super
intendents had been provided the awful
tragedy might have been averted.
Coroner Patterson has decided not to is
sue warrants for the commitment of
Colonel Ainsworth. Dant. Covert and
Sasse until tomorrow morning in order to
give them an opportunity of obtaining bail.
Colonel Ainsworth has already secured
bondsmen. Contractor Dant is very i'll at
