$500 people were murdered, hundreds
Of others escaped, only to die in tho
mountains Jealousy, hate and thd
love of plumber drove the Turks and
kurds to the most atrocious acts.
In speaking of the lawlessness thai
preyades Turkey. Mr.. Daniel says:
"At least half of the Turks live by
plumber and crime. High officials of
the state are supported chiefly by rob-
Der bands that they have in their en-.
ploy. The sultan's $50 wives are sus--
tanned by the booty that is gathered
by his majesty's brigands.
Murder and plumber is common
place If murderer be caught, hif
freedom can be bought for nomina
sum. Everything in Turkey is fol-
sale.
"The Mohammedans believe that
there is God But God can only be
reached through Mohammed. The re-
suit is that the Turks are anxious to
please Mohammed. To kill Christian
is a sure passport to heaven, which is
naturally a bad thing for the health OF
the neighboring Christian. To be
killed by Christian is also an easy
way to get to heaven. Hundreds OF
Turks commit suicide On Mohammedi
day, because to die on that day means
immediate transportation to the throne
of glory.
"Their whole religion is a display.
When gathering at market places they
pray with the apparent intention OF
making noise. To be revered the
priests resort to ridiculous measures.
Their faces must not be looked upon
and there is healing in their gar
ments.
THE life of the Turkish woman is
painfully abject. She is sold to huss
band by her father and from the itma
of her marriage is kept in the closest
surveillance, not being permitted to
unVeil her face in the presence of an.
other until she is fifty years old. In
TACT, the only creature that the TURK
seems to respect is the dog A Turk
will never kill dog because it is one
of Gods creatures. Consequently the
cities of Turkey are oyerrun by tramp
| dogs"

appearance in court. This bond still
holds good.
Might Get Life Sentence.


The sentence provided by the Iowa
code for the crime of which Anderson
has been found guilty is Imprisonment
in the penitentiary for any term Of
years. There is much speculation as
to the sentence which will be imposed
by Judge Sloan. The last man sent
to FIT Madison from Wapello county
on this charge was Ed Davidson, of
Eddyville, who got eight years during
the March term of the court. Judge
yermillion presided at that time.
Old Case Recalled.
The case of Walter Anderson has re-
called to the minds of many old resi-
dents of the county the case of Pleas
Anderson, cousin of the boys father,
William Anderson. Pleas Anderson
resided in Adams township during the
SOS and in 1883 he was arrested on
the charge of killing Chris McAllister,
a farmer residing not far from Ander-
sons home. He was tried at Oska-
loosa, the case being taken there on a
change of venue from this city. On
December 80, 1883, the defendant was
released, 139 witnesses having been
examined. The jury took three bal
lots, the third one standing twelve for
acquittal.
Anderson Lynched.
However the residents of Adams
township were not satisfied, and some
weeks after the trial a number of them
visited the home of Anderson at night,
tool, him to school house, tried him,
found him guilty of the murder OF
Chris McAllister, and taking him to a
nearby tree, hanged him until he was
dead. A peculiar incident of the affair
was that the victim asked that his
boots be removed, saying that he did
not want to die wearing his boots. The
lynchers were never prosecuted.
Sequel to Case.
An odd sequel to the Walter Ander-
son case occurred Saturday evening
shortly after the jury had rendered its
verdict declaring the young man gull
ty of the charge placed against him.
The defendant and his father had just
come from the court house and were
walking along Second street near its
junction with Market street, when
| they met Frank Hardy, of Blakesburg,
one of the principal witnesses for the
state, who had also recently come
from the court house. The elder An
derson addressed Hardy, it is said
telling him that he could go home, as
| he had finished his work. or using
words to that effect, and this seems
to have started an alteration which

before. The agricultural tribes are
great raisers of sheep and goats, of
which they supply Constantinople with
large numbers. If these people can
be reached by the gospel what a
ians, as we'll as to themselves.
"The HISTORIAN population in Tur--
key has two divisions. One nucleus is
formed by the Independent tribes OF
Teri, Tichoma, Baz, and Jilu, number
ing about $4,000 souls, living in the
most rugged valleys of Kurdistan Can
cient Adiabene). Outside these al
most inaccessible mountains lies the
other nucleus of $4,000 HISTORIANS,
with few Armenians scattered
amongst them in the smaller valleys
and plains, stretching into the Vilayet
of Van. In the same region and sur
rounding the whole, live vastly lar
ger number of the Kurdish tribes.
Kurdish robbery has been allowed a
free hand, and on the scattered COM
munities there have been constant
raids and oppressive taxation without
protection, which has ruined the coun-
try. Village after village has been de-
populated. Twenty years ago the
Christians of Caviar were famed for
their wealth in fields and cattle. To-
day their head men are ,beggars. Not
a single word or oct of rebellion not
even an over Jealous revolutionary
spirit, can be urged as an excuse for
this fearful oppression.
Gold and famine are forcing the
Christians to leave their homes. Many
have fled by night over unfrequented
roads, to avoid the frontier guards sta
toned there to force them back to GER
tain death by starvation. Even their
flight has become a source of profit to
the Kurds, who for consideration
engage to conduct them across the
border, and then, on parting, rob them
of everything worth taking, sending
them on their way naked, cold, and
hungry. Yet with all this thousands
are escaping, in spite of the wild
mountain tracks, covered with snow
difficult to find and difficult to keep
In spite of the cruelty they are sub
iected to, and the winter cold, with
scanty food, sleeping in the open or in
sheepfolds,, they reach us, with moth
ing but the few rags that are left tC
them"
Mr.. Daniel was actively engaged in
missionary work in Turkey at the time
of the late Armenian massacres, in the
slaughter at Lake Van he was shot il
the knee, and crippled for life. He
was only saved by the intervention Of
a Mohammedan, who had formerly
been friend of his fathers.
He describes this massacre as blood
thirsty in the extreme. In a few days

History of Case.

7 Walter Anderson is the son of Will
liam Anderson farmer residing in
Monroe county, just over the line from
Adams township in this county. The
young man was tried and convicted of
the crime OF causing the death Of Syl-
via Angel, the 12-year-old daughter of
j. M. Angel, farmer residing near
Blakesburg in this county. and, at the
time the crime is said to have been
committed, the employer Of young An
derson.
According to the evidence in the
case Anderson, who had been working
for Mr.. Angel for some time, left his
employ in March, 1900 and hired to
Hiram Winecup. neighboring farm
er. 1t is claimed by some he left be-
cause of an alteration he had had
with Mrs. Angel, who had refused to
allow one of her elder daughters to
accompany him to circus. He began
working for Winecup on March 10, ac-
cording to the evidence and contin--
ued in his employ until about June 20,
when he resigned, telling Winecup, it
is said, that he intended going to Cali
fornia. where he had relatives. 1t is
also alleged LAT he told Winecup and
others in the neighborhood that he
was responsible for the condition of a
young girl who was i'll and that he
would have to leave Blakesburg or be
arrested for the crime.
