ing located at l to Bowdoin Square,

MISS STONES EVIDENCE
Not Expected to Help Much in Settling
the Case.

Salonica, Roumelia, Feb. 27.-Miss
Stones evidence is not likely to prove
OF much value in fixing the cesponsi-
billy for an indemnity from Turkey or
Bulgaria Gas compensation for the ram
som paid to secure the release of Miss
Stone and Madame Tsilka since she is
not aware whether she even crossed
the boundary owing to being blind
folded and the night marching tactics
of the brigands. Soldiers are now pur-
suing the band, but the brigands have
a long start.
Miss Stone has already received
numerous literary offers. one of them
being from an American magazine,
which offered her 1000 francs and roy
atty for six articles.
Miss Stone, in company with NJ. Gar
giulO, the dragoman of the American
embassy at Constantinople, left here,
today, for Constantinople. She intends
to remain several weeks in Turkey and
will then proceed to the United States
to visit her mother.
During the captivity of Miss Stone
and Nine. Tsilka the ladies suffered
greatly from want of occupation until
Mime. Tsilka's baby was born. Dur
ing the entire time they were with the
brigands the captives were in constant
dread of the energetic military. pur-
suit which kept them always on the
move. During the month of November
the weather was very severe.
After the failure of the negotiations
Mt Sofia the ladies were taken to huts
deep in the snow on an almost mac
cessible mountain. Their experiences
were unique. They had no commune
cations with the outside world except
on matters relating to their ransom
They were only occasionally vouch-
safed some item of information, such
for instance as the death of President
Mckinley.
Upon their arrival at Salonica, the
former captives were much touched al
the manifestations of sympathy re.
ceived from all parts of the world.
The baby was born after Nine. Tsilka
had been riding horseback for II
The mother smOthered the child's cries
for fear the brigands would take il
away and kill it.
Three days after the birth of thu
baby all were again on the move. Mime
Tsilka's training as hospital nurse ant
her extraordinary nerve alone save
her own life and that of her child
there being none of the comforts ant
attendance usual at such times. Onl,
rough shelter and a screen protected
the mother and the new born bah!
from the cold.
During the early part of their cap
tivity the brigands cooked food for tn,
prisoners Later however they tire,
of this task and the ladies had to rre
pare their own meals. They were sup
piled with eggs and with whatever els
was procurable in the way of food
During their wanderngs the captive
were always strictly guarded and were
never allowed to go out and exercise
during the day. This was only permit
ted at night.
