AS chief of the bureau, Capt. Sampson

SO crowded with Armenian prisoners that
it seems impossible for them to hold any
more. The special tribunal organized for
tue purpose of trying the Armenians is
wholly inadequate to disposition of the
cases, and a second court will be organized
to expedite matters. The charges against
the Armenian prisoners who are packed
in the jaiis are absolutely lacking in the
