The Chicago Records Washington
correspondent in commenting on the
situation in Europe says the war be-
tween Greece and Turkey means much
more than appears in the newspape
dispatches, and in the opinion of the
wisest diplomatists, it will result in the
ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the Turkish empire.
II ,ss.;. has for years been trying to in
volve Turkey in hostilities that she
might have AN excuse to conquer and
alneN the sultan's dominions, and that
purpose is SO we'll known in Europe
that the Christian powers have de-
clinea to interfere forcibly in Turkish
affairs because they know that sooner
or later such interference would i'll
voive them with Russia. The agents
of the czar provoked the massacres of
the Armenians with the hope and eX-
p~ectation that England, Germany and
other countries would intervene.
| When they refused to do SO the mas
sacres ceased aud Russian intrigue
sought another field of action, which
was found among the discontented
Cretans. The fighting Greeks and
Turks must make a battle ground of
their own provinces and are surrounded
by nations whose sympathies are en-
tirely with Turkeys enemies and the
sultan knows very we'll that the big
paw of the Russian bear is likely to
fall up him at any moment.

BALDWIN JURY DIsAGREES.
State Confident of a conviction on the
Next Trial.

Speci al TO the Indianapolis Journal.
MARION, Ind, April 1.-The jury in the
Baldwin bribery case. after being out forty
hours. disagreed. Last night Judge Stephen
son was asked for the jury how late he
would consent to give additional instruc-
lions. He replied that he had no additional
instructions to give, and that he would not
even repeat those already given without the
This morning at 9 o'clock the jury asked
the court to read the instructions again.
To this the defense objected. and the court
declined to repeat the charge he had given.
Then the jury was discharged. Attorneys
for the defense said that hey were ready
to begin with a new trial Immediately. but
the prosecuting attorney thought IL wiser
to defer the second trial until the next term
of court. with "A view to securing the at
enhance of Phineas Howard, whose alb
sence has been a great embarrassment to
the prosecution. He stated to-day that the
State would make a much stronger case in
the second trial than il had lone in this at

convicted next time beyond question. on
the other hand, Attorney A. h. Steele. for
the defense, declares that he and the asso7

A. Ball. one of the jurors, said to-day that

OPEN LETTER TO THE COURT.
Judge stephenson Criticised by q
Brother of w. =. Christian.
.he Indianapolis journal.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
NOBLESVILLE. Ind, April 2.-Another
inning was played in the sensational case of
w. S. Christian, ex-county attorney. who
is charged with embeZzlement, yesterday
in the Ledger an open letter to Judge r. r.
Stephenson. In this letter is given Chris
tian's side of the case. 1t Is a severe ar
Saignment of Judge Stephenson and
charges him with being actuated by malice
and personal feelings in his attempt to en-
force the laws by securing an indictment
against Christian. Ii also relates the cir
cumstanceS of w. s. Christian voluntarily
requesting from the Board of Commission
erS an investigation of his accounts before
any demand was made upon him, and
afterwards his settlement with the COM
missioners for the full amount of the short
age of over 5000. The letter then scores
the judge for his calling the grand jury
three different times to investigate the con-
duct of Christian and for his appointment
OF w. K. Fertig to assist the prosecuting
attorney before the last grand jury. His
letter argues the case. claiming that rea-
sonable demand is necessary under Section
1915 before criminal proceedings will hold
against the accused. After defending the
action of the grand jury and prosecuting
attorney, the letter concludes as follows:
Il believe that the grand jury did its
duty. as II was sworn to. l believe that
the prosecutor did his whole duty. and |
believe that you have transcribed the linn
its of the discretionary power of a Judge
and that your course was without prece-
dent. In conclusion. / would remind you
that 1T is human 10 err and that you may
not be infallible in judgment or above crit
icism. / am tired of your masQuerading
before the public. IRA w. CHRISTIAN"

KOKOMO. Ind. April 1.-The training
quarters of the Sipe. Dolman & Blake dog.
pony and monkey show. this city, was the
scene of a bloody battle between a man
and a monkey yesterday afternoon. They
had just brought in a troupe OF wild mon
keys for training. among them being a
huge monkey. fifteen years old. weighing
forty-five pounds. Pat is his name, and
he has tusks two inches long and is
vicious. morose. treacherous and intracta-
BILE. Pat does not take kindly to training
and has been giving his trainers and at
PENDANTS much trouble. Yesterday morn
ing. for some misconduct, Pat was given a
little dressing down by his keeper The
monkey sulked in his corner and planned
revenge. Several hours later. when the
keeper had finished his work. and left the
ring, Pat hunted him up and gave him a
night: Stealthily he opened the door and
went into the office, where the keeper sat
at a desk writing. The latter: who had
forgotten about the morning episode, and,
having his back to the door. did not notice
the approach of the monkey. With the fe-
rocity of a tiger Pat sprang on the sur
prised keeper. making a dive for his throat.
He aimed a little too high and sunk his
big, ugly teeth in the keepers chin and
cheek. tearing open a cash that equired
nine stitches TO close. Again n again the
monkey flew at the keeper. clawing and
biting with a fury that was appalling. The
man was alone and. finding no help at
hand. went into a life and death struggle
with the brute. having no other weapon
than his hands. With blood streaming
from his larcerated face and hands the man
went after his hairy adversary and after
a desperate battle, lasting several minutes,
subdued the brute. Pat was whipped to a
glad to return to his quarters. The keep
ers injuries are painful. but not dangerous.

Squire TimOny Found Unconscious.

MARION. Ind. April 2.-J. ID. Timony. a
Justice of the peace, was found lying on
the river bank this morning, face down
ward and with his hands in his pockets. 1t
is supposed that he fell from the abutment
of a bridge. He was unconscious when
found. and there was no sign of life except
n slight quivering of the lips. He has re-
NAMED unconscious during the day. and ii
is thought that recovery is improbable. The
absence of three gold watches which he Is
known TO nave had last night, taken in pay
ment of fines, suggests the possibility of
robbery. but money remaining in his peck
cts makes this improbable.
