Sofia, Bulgaria, Dec. 9.-According ia
information received from Salonika, Miss
Ellen M. Stone and Nine Tsilka are con-
cealed in the vicinity of Rilo, about five
miles south of Dubnitza, in Bulgarian
territory. The news was brought by
Macedonian, who left there on the 1st.
and who furnished precise information
regarding the hiding places and the
names of the agents supplying food for
the brigands and their captives. 1t is
understood the information is considered
reliable enough to justify the American
officers in Turkey to dispatch agents to
treat with the bandits and that applica-
ton has already been made to the Tur-
kish government for the free passage
of the emissaries across the Turkish
frontier, which IS vigorously guarded by
troops at every hundred yards.

Washington, Dec. 9.--Judge Anderson,
before whom Mrs. Lola Ida Bonine is
being tried today, sustained the objec-
tion of the district attorney to the hypo-
thetical question submitted to DR.. Carr,
an expert, on Saturday.
The court stated that to admit the
question as put would only cloud the
situation and embarrass instead of in
struct the Jury. The question was re-
framed. and the witness answered that
in his opinion the location of a hip
wound, such as received by Ayres, could
not be materially influenced in it's height
or direction by the fact that the de-
ceased was or was not walking or run
ming.
DR.. Carr was on the stand during q
major portion of the day. His testimony
related mainly to the relative positions
of Mrs. Bonine and Ayres when the kill
ing took place.
