gram from Spencer Eddy, United
States charge d'affaires at Constonti-
nople, saying that he had received
information on what he regarded as
good authority to the effect that Miss
Stone and Nine. Tsilka are still alive.
The difficulty in bringing about a
settlement appears to be one of the
terms, as it has been impossible to
convince the brigands that the sec, 900

sents every cent Of money that has
been subscribed toward ransoming
the captive. and they are holding out
for a minimum of 100000, which is
only $4,000 less than their original
demand. 1t is stated that not a sim
gle dollar has been subscribed to the
ransom fund since the outpouring of
the first two or three days following
the appeal for contributions.

Prosecution Springs a Surprise
IN the Hayes Murder Trial.
TWO NEW WITNESSES
Take the Stand At the Last Moment and
Make Damaging Statements
Adjourned Until Monday.

Butte, Dec. 6.-One Of the strongest
murder cases ever presented by an
attorney for the state in the Butte
courts was made out today against
Patrick Hayes, who is charged with
the murder of William McCaine on
the 18th Of last October at the Par
ker house in Dagnon street. The state
introduced two witnesses near the
conclusion Of its case who were, it
seems, complete surprise to the de.
fense. They were, first, a 9-year-old
boy. who witnessed the shooting from
the doorway OF a house opposite the
Parker house, and secondly, a miner
named J. J. Aynn, who was also a
boarder at the Parker house, and an
acquaintance of Hayes. The latter tes-
titled that from his room, which was
just across the hall from that occu-
pied by Hayes, he saw the latter
standing at his window, the revolver
in hand, evidently on the lookout
for McCaine. When the latter ap-
peared. emerging from the dry
house." Hayes ran from his room to
the front door Of the lodging house
and as McCaine approached the en-.
trance, he leveled the revolver, toox
steady aim and fired the fatal bul
let. The Introduction Of these tw
witnesses so surprised the defendants
attorneys that they asked the court
to adjourn proceedings until Monday,
which the court granted.
