BULLETS ARE SIMILAR.
Major 6Ioekson Neatly Trapped by
Senator Foraker.

Washington, May 27.-Major Block
son of the inspector generals depart
ment of the army testified today before
the senate commiStee on military af-
fairs concerning the investigation of
the ARRAY at Brownsville, Tex. He de-
scribed in detail the examination which
he made of the houses shot into, and
in a number of instances gave the
opinion that the shots had been fired
from the barracks.
On cross examination he admitted
that he had formed the opinion upon
his arrival that the negro soldiers were
guilty of making the raid. but said the
careful investigation made did not
change his first idea.
Major Blockson at the Penrose couIt-
martial testified that there is a decided
difference between the bullet used in
Krag-JOrgensen cartridge and the
bullet used in the Springfield cartridge.
Senator Foraker took a Krag and a
Springfield cartridge in his hand, hid
ing ali except the bullets. and asked
the witness to pick out the Springfield.
He selected the Krag instead. 1t was
then shown that there is no difference
in the bullets.

S|LVA'S SLAYERS
GIVEN SENTENCE
Preston Goes Up for a Term of
twenty-five Years and
Smith for Ten.
Especial to The Herald.)

Goldfield, New, May Elm a court
room crowded to suffecation by the
curious who expected a dramatic scene
when Preston and Smith appeared for
sentence before Judge Lanman this
morning, Smith was gwen the limit of
the law. and the only reason Preston
was not sentenced to prison for life
was the recommendation of the jury of
mercy for the prisoner The court de-
MED the men a new trial. Ten years
is the penalty for conspiracy, and that
is what Smith received. Preston being
sentenced for twenty-five years for
murder in the second degree.
The audience received the sentence
without the slightest show of emotion
in fact. they hardly evinced any in
terest whatever in the proceedings.
Mrs. Burton, the mother of Preston,
and Mrs. Smith, the wife of Smith,
were in court, but the soiemnity of the
occasion did not seem to impress them.
However. a few minutes later Preston S
mother visited him at the Jail, where
she completely broke down and was
taken to the hospital in a hysterical
condition.
The prisoners were visited at the Jail
by representative of The Herald, who
found them playing ball with the other
alleged cOnspiratOTS, all of whom are
fattening and enjoying life during
their enforced vacation. Both Smith
and Preston refused to talk, but they
took the time to arrest the reporter,
who was tried before Vincent st. John
and fined 81 for beer, all of which
shows how the conspiratOrs are suf-
fering while awaiting trial.
Attorney Patsy Bowler of the defense
stated that an appeal would be taken
to the supreme court Immediately upon
the settlement of a bill of exceptions.
The district attorney has every conf
dence in the record of the case, and
has no fear that a new trial will be
ordered.

NO CLUE TO THE MURDERERS
Men Who Killed the Armenian Priest
Have So Far Eluded the
Police.

New York. May 27-The body OF the Ar
menian priest. Rev Father Kasper Var
tianan which was found yesterday dOu-
bled with the head strapped to the knees,
lies in the morgue. positively Identified,
according to the police. but without clue
other than those already provided in the
finding of the body
The chemical examination OF the or
gans of the dead priest is progressing, and
until the result of this is known, the pc
lice will not say positively whether or not
Father Nartianan was killed by drugs be
fore he was placed in the trunk. The po-
lice believe robbery was the motive for
the crime The suggestion that the priest
was killed as a result of disclosures of a
plot to seize the throne OF SerVia were not
credited by the bishop in charge of the
local field today.
A house on Tenth avenue and the room
where the body was found have been I'M
der investigation and there are many cir
cumstances which lead the detectives TO
think that either may have been the scene
of the crime. The connection of Il secret
society with the killing has remained
more or less a suggestion.
Captain Stephen O'Brien of the West
Th:rty-seventh street precinct said at mid
night that the movements of the priest
had been traced up to noon on last We'd
nesday, when he was seen to enter the
house at 333 West Thirty-seventh street.
No one saw Father Vartianan after this
so far as can be ascertained. Captain
O'Brien expressed the belief that the muir
der was committed in the room where the
trunk was found and said that the con-
tents of this trunk. removed before the
murder. were found in bureau drawers
and scattered about the room.

.S[ASHED WITH
KNIVES BY JAPS
MurderouS Assault Upon Two
San Francisco Men by Sub
jeCtS of the Mikado. .

San Francisco. May 27.-FOr a murder
Gus assault committed by Japanese armed
with knives on Horace HaZall, a young
dentist and Randolph Merriweather, an
electrician, at an early hour this morn
ing, the police have taken NJ. Tugimova,
Mkt KeiDiro and S Hamada into Gus
tody. They are held in custody pending
the outcome of the victims injuries.
Hazall and Merriweather were on their
way to Merriweather's home, when they
encountered a band of japanese. One OF
the JapS asked, Where the - are you
going?" Without waiting for an answer
knives were drawn by the japanese, who
attacked the men and did not desist their
assault until a policeman approached the
scene. MeTTiWeather and HaZall were
removed TO the central emergency hospi-
tai and were later removed to a private
institution. where both are now said to
be in a serious condition.
Detectives Ryan and O'Dea were de-
tailed on the case and the arrest of the
three men in custody was due to their
investigation of the crime. The theory
of the detectives is that the japanese
believed MerTiweather to be the man who
was arrested week ago for battery on
A. Ishanada. His name is Richard Mer-
riweather and his case is set for trial in
Judge Cabaniss' court next Wednesday.
