.STOESSH IS
CONDEMNED
DEFENDER OF PORT ARTHUR SEN
FENCED TO DEATH BY
coURT-MARTIAL.
WITH PLEA FOR MERCY
FOUGHT WITH COURAGE, BUT
SURRENDERED BEFORE 1T
WAS NECESSARY.

st. Petersburg. General Stoessel
was condemned to death Thursday by
a military court for the surrender of
Port Arthur to the Japanese.
General Fock, who commanded the
Fourth East Siberian division of Port
Arthur. vas ordered reprimanded for
a disciplinary offense which was not
connected with the surrender, and
General Smyrnoff, acting commander
of the fortress, and Major General
Reiss, chief of staff to General Stoessel,
were acquitted of the charges against
them for lack of proof.
The court recommended that the
death sentence upon Lieutenant Gen.
eral Stosssel be committed to ten years
Imprisonment in fortress. and that he
be excluded from the service.
General Voder. president OF the
court, read the sentences amid tense
silence. BY a great effort Of self-con-
troll, General Stoessel maintained rigid,
soldier-like impassivity. General Smyr-
non was seemingly unmoved, but there
were tears in the eyes Of General Reiss.
The sentence of death was pro-
nounced upon General Stoessel, for
surrenderiHg the fortress before all
means of defense had been exhausted;
for failing to enforce his authority, and
for military misdemeanors."
Communication of the sentence was
asked on the ground that Port Arthur,
beset by overwhelming forces, de-
Tended itself under General Stoessels
leadership with unexampled stubborn
ness and filed the world with aston
ishment at the heroic courage OF its
garrisons; that several assaults had
xx,tNI df.ttx. a
on the persistent enemy; that General
Stoessel throughout the siege had
maintained the heroic courage OF the
defenders, and finally. that he had
taken energetic part in these CAM
paigns."
Before the sentence was read meas
ures were taken to prevent demon
stration in favor Of General Stoesssl
by number OF the younger officers and
witnesses who were present. These
latter sent a dispatch to the empress
saying that they would humbly bear
testimony that General Stoessel was
the soul ct the defense of Port Arthur;
that he had always encouraged and put
heart into the garrison, and that in
rise OF war they would wish to serve
again under General Stoessel. They
asked the empress g-aciously to be-
speak from the empe-or a full pardon.
There was a dramatic moment after
the reading of the sentence. when q
detachment of soldiers filed into the
hall. The spectators. thinking that
they were about to seize General Stoes-
sci, displayed great excitement. several
women fainting. 1t developed, how
ever. that this was merely guard for
the dispersal of the court.

train from leaping the track at He'll
Gate and falling into the canon below
with its nine coaches of passengers.
w. r. Armor. former Denver man,
now of Salt Lake, who was on board,
tells the story. The engineer stepped
out of his cab for a moment on the run
ming board of the engine to examine
something. The cab door blew shut
behind him, and the fireman, who had
not seen him go out, thought he had
lost control of the engine and jumped
to save his life. He became frightened
and leaped from the cab himself. The
engine was running down heavy
grade and in a few moments had
gained frightful speed.
Mr.. Hopkins was in one of the Pull
mans and, noticing the unusual speed,
realized that something was wrong. He
seized the emergency brake and pulled
hard, bringing the train 10 a sudden
stop Just as 1t was rounding into He'll
Gate, where the chasm is a 1000 feet
down.

that they sent a letter to the Rock
Island headquarters at Chicago, com.
