er, is confirmed. An imperial trade

active enemy of the Turks. He was
popularity believed and stated to be the
real instigator of the abduction of Miss
Ellen M. Stone, the American mission

procure through her ransom funds to
enable the Macedonian revolutionary
committee to organize the insurrec-

Cincinnati, Oct. 17.-Taking of evil
dence was concluded and arguments
were begun in the trial of Miller and
Johns fer alleged conspiracy to extort
bride. 1t is not likely the case will
go to the jury before this evening.
The feature of yesterday was the
testimony of the two defendants. After
being on the stand for three hours
Johns was cross-examined for over an
hour yesterday. He denied he had
told Inspectors Vickery and Fulton,
when they were investigating him at
Rockville, that he would talk if he
thought nothing would come except
the dismissal of a clerk in Washing
ton. Most of his evidence consisted
in such denials.
Miller was on the witness stand I'M
til o'clock and was generally con-
ceded to be an exceptionally strong
witness for himself. The court fire.
quently stopped him from arguing his
own case while answering questions.
Miller was confronted with the most
severe cross examination without
being disturbed even in trying to ex-
plain contradictions in his own state
ments. He denied ever having re-
ceived anything from Johns that infiu-
enced his official actions and denied
any understanding with Ryan or any
one else as to his official actions. He
said had he known Stenographer Wat
son was concealed in his office he
would have been more guarded in his
statements during the interview with
Robb and Cochran. He insisted Wat

MIL WAUKEE ROAD PAY-CHECKS
DUPLICATED BY FORGERS AND
LOSSES MAY REACH THOUSANDS

Special detectives of the Chicago
Milwaukee e ST. Paul road have been
assigned to investigate what may
prove to be one of the most extensive
series of forgeries that company, and
in fact any road in the country, has
ever experienced.
Whether the amount inv we'd is
many thousands of dollars, Or lie sin
gle instance that has come to light is
the sole example of the work of the
forgers, is not known. Indications,
however, point to the fact that the
forgeries may prove farreaching. This
belief is supported by the elaborate
preparations made for the work by
the gang, which it is deemed certain
would not have been made had only a
few dollars been the object of the for
gerry.
The forgery consists of a duplica-
ton. according to statements of of
ficials of the road to whom the case
has been referred, of the pay checks
of the company.
