Insurgents' Account OF . Massacre At Ras.

Special Gable Despatch to TIE SUN.

Special Gable Despatch to TIE sun.
LONDON. Oct. 3.-The most conflicting
reports continue to be received concerning
the recent fighting and massacres in Mace
donia, and it Ia impossible to sift the truth
from the falsehoods. Attaches of the in
surgent headquarters at Sofia profess to
have received positive information that
the whole Christian population Of Raslog,
except ten. were massacred by the Turks,
the number killed being about 5000 Moth
Ing IL known OF the matter officially. Cor
respondents at Sofia do not confirm the
story, and judging from present indioa-
tions 1t Is untrue. as the recent rumor Of q
massacre at Kastoria proved to be.
The special correspondent Of the Morn
ing Poet. who is apparently impartial,
puts the Bulgarian deaths at Rasloe at IS.
While admitting that it is apparently true
that between 5000 and 1000 non-com-
batants have been killed during the sum.
mer he says it Is nonsense to talk of tho
determination Of the Christian population.
The Consuls despair Of reaching the truth
except by sitting the evidence for weeks,
The correspondent adds that all the re-.
ports about fighting are exaggerated.
The correspondent OF the Daily Mol
at Monastir sends fur her assertions made
by refugees regarding hideous Turkish
atrocities. He says that tho stories Of vio-
lations daily become moro repulsive. He
says that the morals Of the Turkish troops
are unspeakable. An eyewitness asserted
that woman who resist cd outrage had her
child cut to pieces In her arms and her own
arms and breasts were cut of.

and Was Formerly . Dookkceper In
the Concerns Omce Here-said to
Have Jusgled Its Two Bank Accounts.
Mrs Marie Layton Johnston, wife Of
DR.. Albert N. Johnston, O dentist with
offices at 4ss Fifth avenue. was arrested
and locked up at Police Headquarters
last night on a charge Of grand larceny
The United States Playing Card Company
OF Cincinnati, whose New York agent had
employed Mrs. Johnston a. bookkeeper and
private secretary for six years until April
last, allege that she has embezzled nearly
$4,000 from them.
The company has offices at os6 Broadway.
where r. H. McCutoheon, the secretary
OF the company, is the New York agent.
The concern carries two accounts with
the Hanover National Bank. One IL for
the Office here and the other for the main
Office in Cincinnati.
McCutoheon says that he had absolute
confidence in the woman, who kept all
accounts and drew all checks, until last
April. when 1t was discovered that she had
appropriated money for her own use. He
says that Mrs. Johnston was accused Of the
thefts and that she confessed to having
taken 800. for which she promised to
make restitution through her husband,
whose practice. she said, netted $4,000 a
year. On this promise She was not prose-
cuted. but was discharged from the COM
pany's employ. She has never paid back
any Of this, the officers Of the company said
last night
The Cincinnati Office in the mean time
found that it's accounts with the bank did
not tally and sent Auditor Jameson here
to 60 over the books kept by Mrs. Johu-
ston. He concluded preliminary invest;-
cation on Thursday and found, he says,
that moro than $4,000 was missing from
the New York account and more than
Ss3 $50 from the account of the Cincinnati
office. This was done, the auditor says,
by juggling the two accounts. According
to McCutcheon, Mrs. Johnston admitted
In April that she had falsified the records
in the books, and the auditor and officials
say they fear she has raised checks.
Yesterday morning McCutoheon. Auditor
Jameson and John Onwake. the president
Of the company, went before Magistrate
Poo! in the Jefferson Market police court
and got warrant for Mrs. Johnston. This
was taken to Police Headquarters, and
Inspector McClusky turned 1t over to
Detective Sergeants Arthur Carey and
George Morris to execute.
The sleuths went to Larchmont. where
Mrs. Johnston and her husband live In a
pretty cottage, but were unable to locate
the woman there. Returning to this city,
they arrested her shortly after O'Clock
~ she came out Of tho dental Office with
her husband.
Mira. Johnston. who 70 tall and good
looking, took her arrest ooolly. She re-
fused to make any statement, saying that
she had engaged lawyer, who wouldtAlk
for her when the proper time arrived.
Mrs. Johnston did admit, however. that
she had specialized in Wall Street and lost
heavily. She will Oe arraigned in the
Jefferson Market police court this morning.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Oct 2.--John W.
Yerkes, Commissioner Of Internal Revenue,
paid hasty visit to United States Senat or
Fairbanks yesterday, coming in on a morn
ing train, lunohing at the Fairbanks home
and returning to Washington on a late
evening train.
Friends of the Senator say Yerkes came
as the representative OF the President to
ask Mr. Fairbanks to accept the Vice.
Presidential nomination.
They say that President Roosevelt rec
oldzes the fact that Mr.. Fairbanks was
very close to President Mckinley and that
his nomination for second place on the
ticket would please the Mckinley element
and thus add strength thatthe ticket might
otherwise fail to possess.
Mr.. Fairbanks refused to discuss the
Commissioner visit.

no MOLINEUX DIVORCEP
Judge Whiting Denies That He Signed
tho Decree,

HURON, y. D., Oct. 2.--While here attend
ing circuit court Judge Charles s. Whiting
of the Ninth Judicial Circuit to-day denied
the report that be had signed decree Of
divorce for Mrs. Roland B. Molineux Of
New York, wife OF the man accused Of the
murder Of Mrs. Adams Of that city. Judge
Whiting was reported as the judge who
granted the decree, but he declares the
action was not brought before him. 1t Is
also known that Judge Bennett OF Water
town did not sign such paper, as he was
out OF the State during the time the pro-
ceedings were had.
IL is believed, therefore, that Mrs. Moli-
neux did not secure a divorce during her
stay in South Dakota. III an interview
with a newspaper man she made volun-
tarily a statement to the effect that she
came to South Dakota for the purpose OF
procuring the dissolution OF the marriage
of herself and Roland B. Molineux. This
statement, coming to the knowledge OF the
iurists of the State, would be sufficient
cause for withholding their signatures
from decree Of divorce.
1t is now said that Mrs. Molineux will
institute similar proceedings in Chicago
during the present month. Should another
effort be made it is believed that Molineux
will resist the effort.
When Mrs. Molineux returned from
Sioux Falls. early in September, her lawyer.
Alexander G. Young, called in reporters
and announced that she had obtained a
decree of divorce from Roland B. Molineux
in South Dakota. Mr.. Young did mot tell
lust where or by whom the decree was
granted. The announcement was made
IN Mrs Molineux's presence at the Murray
Hill Hotel, and the lawyer added that his
client had resumed her maiden name.
No one has ever admitted having seen
the decree or having learned where 1t was
granted I'm,
Mrs. Chesebrough. or Molineux, is still
living at the Murray Hill, but she was in
accessible last night.
