Turkish TrOOus

principal provinces have sent to the for
eign admlrals an official declaration, ac-
cepting autonomy and expressing a desire
that the Turkish troops should be with
drawn from the island This is the first
document of the character which has been
submitted to the powers in response to

Greenecastle, Ind, Feb. 27.-Rev. j.
A. Lee, of Covington, KY, and L. D.
Poock, of Dayton, were here today, the
former having in his possession what
he claimed was a confession from Alonzo
Walling, who is under sentence of death
Mt Newport for the murder of Pearl
Bryan. Lee reached here at an early
hour this morning and at once tried to
see the family of the dead girl, but was
deferred by son. Later in the day the
girl's relatives asked that Lee see them
and consult with their attorney, but he
declined to deliver his papers to any
one outside the Bryan family. 1t is
thought Lee had some important mat
ter in the case, but he left the city with
out disclosing the contents of the al
legged confession.
Poock, who developed the shoe clew
that led to the identity of the dead girl,
claims he came with Lee to introduce
him to the Greencastle family, he hav
ing been here before. Lee will deliver
the papers back to Walling in the Gov
ington jail 1t is thought Walling vii
make a clean breast of the whole affair
Lee claimed to have had the entir,
story in his possession when here.
