WASHINGTON, Feb. 21--Harold Ma
gill; who stands accused of uttering a
fictitious check, and whose preliminary
examination commenced before Police
Judge Weller this morning, has been
identified by the police of this city as
a former chic. of police of Saratoga,

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 21.-The
passing of sentence OF death yesterday
by a court-martial upon Lieutenant
General Stoessel, who was tried on
charges of cowardice and treason in
surrendering Port Arthur to the jap
anese, is received with little saisfac-
ton In the Russian capital, where it is
felt that the trial of General Stoessel,
General Fock, General Reiss and Gen
eraI Syrnoff has done practically moth
ing toward establishing the real re-
sponsibility for the fall of the fortress.
The court indeed fixed the extent of
the guilt of Stoessel and others, but
neglected to judge the situation of
which they were the product
1t declined to admit testimony re-
garding the preparedness of the fort
ress at the beginning of the war. the
role of the navy in the defense of a
marine stronghold, and other underly-

The newspapers today express sym
pathy with General Stoessel and de-
