That She Exhausted Her Coal supply.
WASHINGTON. Oct. l5,The despatch vessel
Bancroft reached smyrna this morning, accord
ing TO a cablegram received at the Navy Depart
ment from Admiral Selfridge. 1t is said at the
Navy Department that the little vessel must
have exhausted her coal supply in the 1900
mile voyage, the length of the Mediterranean.
and she will undoubtedly remain Mt Smyrna for
several days at least to refill her bunkers.
II will then depend entirely upon circum-
stances whether she will proceed to her intended
destination at Constantinoplc: While quiet
reigns at the Turkish capital Minister Terrell
will probably not ask for the frman permitting
her to pass the Dardanelles.
With the Bancroft's arrival Admiral SelfridRe
now has his entire command directly under his
eye and according TO his Instructions lie will
rparrange their crews to bring together all tho
men whose terms OF enlistment are about ex-
plring on the Marhlehead IN order that she may
leave with them for New York. THIS portion OF
the programme can only he altered by COntIn-
gencles arising which might make II advisable to
keep the entire fleet together tor some further
time.

best that could be made. Mr.. Welsh is
well qualified, having had over three
years experience in the business. He
is energetic and enterprising. and fully

DISCHARGED BY THE COURT.
Catharine Annuta and Her. Husband Not
Guilty of the Lattimer Murder.

The remarkable sef-sacriiicc of Cath
arinc Annutz, of Lattimer, who, by tenn
porariIy taking responsibility for a
brothers deed, enabled him to escape
trial for murder, was fully disclosed
upon her trial for the crime. 1t was
clearly shown that she herself was
innocent of violence, and, by the decree
of Judge Lynch, she was discharged by
proclamation.
The story of the crime, as originally
told by the woman, Mrs. Annutz, is that
Gelelli, the murdered man, who was
married and had Il family, came to her
house on the night before the murder
On being discovered 10y herself and hus-
band Gelelli escaped, but left his hat, by
which he was identified.
Early next morning, before going to
work, Gelelli came to the Annutz home.
the woman said, and got down on his
knees to apologize to Mrs. Annutz for
the insult, when she grabbed a revolver
that lay on the table and fired five shots
at him, killing him almost instantly.
The woman at the habeas corpus hear
ing admitted the shooting. and took the
whole responsibility. saying that she
alone was to blame for the homicide.
When the prisoner took the stand on
Thursday in her own behalf she denied
that she did the shooting. She said her
brother and Gelelli got into quarrel at
her house, and the former pulled a re-
Volyer and killed the intruder. She
claimed that she was excited when she
saw the man was dead, and told the
story of herself shooting him in order to
save her brother, who has since made
his escape and left the country.
Other evidence was produced which
proved that the dofendent was wholly
innocent of the shooting, and SO the
court ordered her release.
