HEARNE'S CASE.
Some Important Testimony Adduced
Yesterday.

BOWLING GREEN, Mo-, Dec r.
The trial of DR.. j. C. Hearne for the
murder of Amos J. StillWell was re-
sumed here today.
DR.. w. L. Gleason of Hannibal, who
was called to the stand yesterday af-
ternoon by the state, but who was pre-
vented from testifying by the adjourn
ment of court, was examined at length
today. His testimony was of the great
est Importance. The witness who was
called to the scene of the crime imme-
diately after it was committed, brought
out the fact that Amos j. StillwelI
died instantly from a blow from an
axe, and that the body had been moved
after death.
W. S. League, a florist of Hannibal,
the next witness, described the find
ing of the body. The testimony agreed
in the main with that Of DR.. Gleason,
and tends to prove that the man was
lying down when struck. The state is
trying to prove that Stillwelrs body
was moved after death to give rise
to the belief that he was rising up in
bed to attack the alleged burglar, who,
Mrs. Hearne said, committed the deed.
The sensation of the afternoon was
the testimony of Mrs. DR.. Gleason,
whose husband was on the stand ear
lier. She told of being awakened on
TIE ulSHl VI Tie inuloeI. w llleoS oIeS-
sed herself and went to the StillWell
residence, arriving there about o'clock
and the first person she met was DR..
Hearne. She remarked "Why, doctor,
how did you get here before / did when
live so close?"
He replied that he had not been To
bed and then related about being at
the Munger party and proceeding with
Mr.. and Mrs. Stillwell down Fifth
street when they left the party, and
then went on to his Office as was his
custom, to fix the fire in the furnace.
The witness stated that DR.. Hearne re-
manned at the Stillwell house all night
and that he was almost continually at
the side of Mrs. Stillwell, that the
widow said to him, Don't leave me-"
Witness said that DR.. Hearne was
frequent visitor to the house before
the murder.

A DEEP LOSS.
Governor Mckinley Recognizes
Thurman's Worth.

Thurman'S Worth.
COLUMBUS, Dec. 12.-Upon learning
Of the death of ex-senator Thurman
this afternoon Governor Mckinley said:
1.-THE death of Judge Thurman is
deep loss to Ohio and to the nation.
His long and useful public career, char
acterized as it was, by nobility of pur-
pose and purity of character, endeared
him to the hearts of the people, ire
spective of party or politics. His death
removes one of the nations greatest
statesmen and one of Ohio's greatest
citizens, and all mourn his loss as we
would a beloved friend"
Governor Mckinley tonight issued the
following:
''Ohio has lost one of its noblest cit.
liens. Allen G. Thurman died at 1
o'clock today at his home in the city
of Columbus, at the ripe age of 50. He
was a statesman whose sturdy 1ntegri-
ty and exalted abilities were recognized
not only in his own state, but in every
part of the United States AS a. judge
of the supreme court of the state he
was a. learned and incorruptible inter-
prefer of the law. AS United States
senator he faithfully and with excep-
tional honor represented this state in
the United States senate. He was a
distinguished party leader, and stood in
the front rank with the great men who
were his contemporaries. After be-
ing the recipient of many honors at
the hands of his party and his country
men, he retired to private life, with the
universal respect and esteem of the cit
liens and the love and esteem of all
who had the honor of knowing him.
His illustrious career is a. conspicuous
example of the possibilities of Ameri-
cam citizens and is worthy the study
of tine youth of our state. The people
of Ohio, regardless of party, will be
mourners at his bier. Out of respect
to his memory it is hereby ordered that
the flag be displayed at half mast over
the state capitol until after the OBJ
secuies."

STABBED A NEGRO.
WHITE CoURTEsAN RESENTs HIS
FANIILIARITIEs.
A General Racket in an Ogden
House of Prostitution May Result
in One Death.
Especial to The Herald.I

OGDEN, Dec. 12.-Richard Kerth, a
colored porter at the Windsor hotel,
was stabbed in the abdomen by Liz
zie Sloan, a white woman, in a, house
of prostitution ON Hudson avenue,
about o'clock tonight, and grave
doubts are entertained as to Kerth's
recovery.
Kerth visited the house and shortly
after his entrance began taking liber-
ties with the woman. She struck him
and he retaliated; them a scuff1e ensued,
in the midst of which the woman threw
a chair at the negro, striking him on
the head.
James Wins, the colored piano play
er of the establishment, then interfered
and a set-to was begun.
Sloan, seeing that her champion was
being defeated, dug into her stocking,
drew a long clasp knife and stabbed
Kerth.
Immediately the house was cleared
Kerth was taken to the city hospital,
where he was attended to. The wound
is about two inches deep, and it is
feared it will be fatal. Wins was seen
hurrying down Twenty-ffth street by
officer Murray, and was afterwards ar
rested by him in an unoccupied house
on that street
Sloan, along with another white and
a colored woman, both eye witnesses,
were arrested by Chief Davenport and
Captain Silvey, and she admitted her

ty, about two months ago.

RICH HARYESTS,
Looked For in Case of n Rising ut
StambOul.

LONDON. Dec. 12.-The Times will to-
morrow publish a dispatch from Con-
stantinople which says: For days past
the Turks and Kurds have been pouring
into the city from the devastated region
of Asia Minor. Their primary object is
the. disposal of the loot which they have
obtained during the massacres- They are
also hopeful of a richer harvest In the
event of the permitting of a rising at
STEAMBOAT. Their stories, coupled WIN the
display Of plumber. have infiamed the
lowest class of MOSlemS with an aching
desire to attack the baZars. They are
ready to seize upon the slightest provo
cation for an attack.
1t is unwholesomely significant OF the
state of affairs that the government IS
Selling and deporting daily numbers OF
Armenians from the poorest but robust
classes.
The news from the interior increases
in horror with every mail. In places
within a small distance, massacre and
pillage are still of daily occurrence, and
everywhere destitute ArmenianS are
hocking into the large towns where there
is no means of feeding them. No news
has been received from Ze1JOum and none
is expected until all the ZeitounliS have
been killed The district swarms with
Rashi BaZouks and every road ana bridge
is guarded with troops

holluay season.
Especial to The Herald)
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-Thro,,eh
the courtesy of Congressman McRae
Oenl., of Ark Frank Cannon was to-
day enabled to secure the passage of
a resolution asking Secretary Hoke
Smith why he has issued Instructions
against the further patenting of Union
Pacific lands. This subject has caused
some discussion among western mem
bers, and with Union Pacific agents,
who have been here. There has been
a great deal of speculation as to
Smiths reasons.
If McRae had desired he could have
greatly retarded the explanation by OBJ
jecting to the passage of the resolu-
ton of inquiry to Utah and so he made
no objection.
1t is very doubtful if Cleveland will
give attention to the statehood procla-
nation before the holiday season. There
are several other matters which, ON ac-
count of their general Importance, will
probably take precedence.

circular letter circulated in Nebraska to-
day. 1t is from Satolli deciding in favor

Bishop Bonacum to a priest in Tecum-

This notice having been duly brought

White Star officers Deny That Any
Damage Was Done.

E LIVERPOOL, Dec. 12-Officials of the
White Star line say it is impossible fully
to ascertain the damage done to the Ger

suited in the sinking of the latter YES

sALIsBURY'S ANSWER.
1t Will Not Be Made Public Until
the Return of President Cleve-
land.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 12.-Lord Sails
bury's answer to Secretary Olney on the
Venezuela question will not be made
public until the return of President Cleve-
land. 1t appears that Mr.. Cleveland was
aware of the nature of the answer be-
fore he left and it is believed he had the
entire text by cable from Ambassador
communication and was not the sormal
submission of Great Britain's answer.
The latter formality occurred after Mr..
Cleveland's departure, SO that it is felt
to be courtesy due the president to
await his return and possibly his exam
ination of the original manuscript before
giving it to the public. There IS no dis
inclination in London, it is stated, to
make the answer public as soon az he
prophecies have been observed.
