MASSACRE IN ARMENIA

News of the outrages Sent by q
Missionary at the Risk of His
Life.
In our foreign news summary on
the arrival of last mail were accounts
Of indignation throughout Chris
tendon over outrages committed
in Armenia by Turkish soldiers.
Following are some Of the particu.
lars Of the outrages:
LONDON, November 1.-THE latest
stories OF massacre and unspeak able
outrages in Armenia fully bear out
the reports OF horrible persecution
by the Turkish Government. The
record OF Wholesale slaughter aud
fearful atrocities made public to-
day will assuredly arouse the British
Government to an effectual form OF
protest, and it is confidently hoped
in this country that the United
States will be no less energetic in
demanding the complete reversal OF
Turkish policy toward that helpless
race OF Christians.
The last mail brings so many in
dependent accounts Of the murder
OF men, women and children by
thousands, and with every form Of
cruelty, that it is impossible to
doubt the general accuracy Of the
awful tale. IL is related again and
again that the soldiers were ordered
by their officers to outrage the wo-
men before putting them to the
sword, and many instances are given
where single soldiers were assigned
to the task Of .laughtering each 100
women aud children. The details
Of some of the massacres are too re-
voting to dwell upon, aud il not
overwhelmingly confirmed would bs
rejected As Incredible, even among
the most savage races yet remain
ing on earth.
Mr.. Hagoplan, president Of the
Armenian Patriotic Association Of
London, gave the account to the
press. He declared that IL would be
equivalent to sentence Of death on
the writer Of the letter il his name
were divulged, as the Turkish
authorities would instantly mark
him. The account comes not from
al Armenian, but from an American
missionary stationed near the scene
Of the massacre.
The letter was not intrusted to
the Turkish mail, where IL would
have been certain Of being stopped,
as after outrages Of this description
the Turkish officials devote all their
energies to preventing communica-
ton with Europe, But for the cour-
age OF the American mission aries,
who, at considerable risk, sent this
account beyond the frontier by hand,
aided by friendly merchants, nothing
would have been heard VI these
atrocities for months. From per-
sousl experience with Turkish saw
agery in Armenia and from his con-
idence in the source from which the
account comes Mr.. Hagopisn abso.
lutely relies ON its accuracy.

A PECULIAR STORY.
How a Chicago Lawyer Was Triclked
Into a Confession.

A peculiar story of unique detective
work, in which a portable telephone figured
prominently, was developed yesterday in
the case of Attorney Chales Ioas, who was
held in heavy bonds by United States Com
missioner Writ, at Chicago, charged with
sending Objectionable letters through the
mails.
The plaintiff DR.. Peter Janss, a promi-
rent physician, had for long time. ac-
cording to his story, been paying Ioas
various sums for the suppression. of a
disagreeable bit of private history, and
was finally driven to desperation when his
wife received a letter from the lawyer.
Ioas, the doctor said, frankly admitted,
when no witnesses were present, writing
the letter, but denied ali knowledge of it
when others were about. AT last, at the
advice of an attorney, DR.. Janss fitted a
small telephone in his silk hat with a slen-
der gold wire trailing behind, which con-
nected with a telephone outside the law
yer's office, at which, with two receivers
were stationed detective and a stenogra-
pher Entering the lawyers office DIR.
Janss declares he easily induced Ioas to
again admit that he had written the let
ter and demanded more money. Then Dr.
Janss exhibited his telephone, explained to
the astounded lawyer that he had been
talking. through the doctors hat" and
armed with his evidence secured the ar
rest. The case will be tried shortly by the
United States authorities.
