LETTER FROM MISS STONE.
Tells Of Her Capture and Urges That
the Ransom Be Paid.


the Ransom Be Paid.
New York, Oct. 15-According to q
dispatch to The Journal and Advertis-
er from Sofia. further word has come
from Miss Stone in the following let
ter, written from Macedonia to w. w.
Peet, treasurer of the Turkish Mission
in Constantinople:
my Honored Friend; write to in
form you that on the 23d of Septem-
Der I was captured by number of
armed men. some 40, as travelled
from Sansko to Diumaala with IL
teachers, students and others.
They took with me my companion,
Mrs. Catherine Tsilka. The reason
why they captured us is for ransom.
The price which they demand for us is
s25,000, Turkish, which sum must be
paid in gold, and this entirely without
the knowledge of the Turkish and Bull
garian governments, within the term
of 18 days.
"The condition of Mrs. Tsilka decid.
ed the limit as she is to give birth to a
child in three months.
1--WE are pursued by Turkish army.
beg DR.. Haskell himself to go to
Constantinople and exert himself for
the payment OF the ransom at Sama-
kov, where men will receive it on pre-.
senting an order from me. The men
who captured us at first showed cour-
tesy and consideration towards US,
but now, since Turkish soldiers and
bashibazouks have begun to pursue
US and the ransom is delayed, our con-
dition is altogether changed.
Therefore, beg you to hasten
sending the ransom demanded and
that as energetdcally as possible you
will represent to the Turkish govern
ment that it stop the pursuit of us by
soldiers and bashibazouks. otherwise
we shall be killed by the people in
whose hands we are. I pray you to
communicate without delay the con.
tents of this letter to the representa-
tive of the United States at the porte
and request his most serious co-opera'
ton"

McllNEux CASE.

Vas Convicted In New York City,
After Triai Lasting Several
Months, Of the Murder Of Katherine
}. Adams-Error by the Lower Court
In Admitting Certain Evidence the
Ground for Reversal.
Albany, N. T., Oct. l5-The court Of
appeals has granted Roland B. Moli.
neux new trial.
Molineux was convicted OF the mur.
der of Katherine j. Adams in New
York city and sentenced to death. The
court grants anew trial on an opinion
written by Judge Werner of Roches.
ter, his principal ground being that the
lower court erred in admitting evi.
dence as to another alleged crime, the
death of Barnett, and thus merged two
issues.
Every member Of the court Of ap-
peals voted for the reversal of judg-
ment of conviction of Molineux on the
ground the trial court erred in re-
ceiving the evidence the declarations
OF Barnett made to Doctors Phillips
and Douglass that he had received
kultnow's powders through the mails.
The only quest.on on which the
members of the court differ in the
opinion relates to the receiving Of
evidence that Barnett was killed by
the same method used in taking the
life Of Mrs. Adams. Four members of
the court agree that the evidence
should not be received. The other
three members of the court hold that
evidence is admissible in that the evi.
dence in the Barnett case pointed to-
ward Molineux tends to identify him
as the person who killed Mrs. Adams
while attempting to take the life of
Cornish by means of that rare poison
known as cynanide of mercury.

the considerable reduction of his COM

Fourth infantry, the inspector general
of the department, to the effect that
chaplains be placed in charge Of the
post exchanges and that the canteen
be re-established in the interest OF
morals, temperance, discipline and

chiropodist be employed for each foot
regiment. He also recommends a re-
newal of the practice of inscribing on
