RING FOUND
THROUGH MEDIUM
Of A DREAM

Boston, Jan. 4-Through the medium OF
a dream Mrs. Clement F. Barnes OF
Abingdon says she yesterday found the
diamond engagement ring lost at the time
OF the Stetson-Ashley shooting last Sat-
urday. The ring is now in the possession
OF Mrs Ashley, the mother of Miss Edith
NJ Ashley who was shot and killed by
Samuel T. Stetson. Jr.
When Miss Ashley met her sweetheart
for the last time and offered him the
presents he had given her during their
engagement, Stetson seized the package
and hurled its contents about the Ashley
lawn. Then he fired the fatal shots.
Search was made for the presents after
the murder and all were recovered ex-
cept diamond engagement ring. Every
effort was made TO find this ring, the
searchers even raking the lawn.
Then Mrs Barnes dreamed that she
saw the missing treasure on a certain
part Of the Ashley lawn. She visited the
Ashley home and led the family directly
to the place where the ring lay.

WITTE RESPONSIBILITY
FOR WAR DISCUSSED

St. Petersburg, Jan. 4-The controversy
between Count Witte and Gen. Kuropat-
kin over Kpropatkins testimony at the
trial of Gen. Stoessel, which has been
conducted at length for several days In
the Noevoe Vremya, has developed into a
discussion OF Count Whites role of so
called Eastern adventure and the extent
OF his responsibility fop the war, which
his enemies have persistently endeavored
to saddle upon him.
Gen. Kuropatlxin In a series OF letters
has sought TO prove that Witte was re-
sponsble for the foundation OF Port
Dalny which the general declares gave
the Japanese an invaluable base during
the siege OF Port Arthur and also inter-
fered with the prompt dispatch Of heavy
artillery to the fortress.
Count Witte explicitly declares he was
opposed to the establishment either OF a
military or a commercial port In Chinese
territory, and says that the policy of leas
ing the Kwantung Peninsula and extend
ing the railroad line thither was adopted
over his head. He ascribes the occupation
OF Port Arthur by the Russians TO the
initiative OF Count Muravieff. who then
was foreign minister, and declares that
he was so indignant at the move that he
Immediately broke OF all relations with
Muravief.
Count Witte challenges Gen. Kuropat-
kin to prove that he ever called atten-
ton to Port Dalmy as a strategic men,
ace to Port Arthur before the war, and
saws that Kuropatkin, In 1903, stated that
Port Arthur was able TO resist the whole
Japanese army and defend the Kwantung
peninsula and Manchuria.
