That Former Sultan InSpir-

LONDON. May 11-Further evidence
that the massacres in the Adana prov
ince in Asiatie Turkey we're prearranged
and aided by the government through
out, came to light today IN the pubIica-
tion in the Evening News OF a letter
from a resident of Mersina
The letter was written on April 26 and
was sent from Smyrna Among other
things, the writer says:
The troops. on whom we relied for
safety, are acting like beasts. They are
committing the most abominable atroci-
ties and are shooting the helpless
Christians who attempt TO escape.
There is no doubt that the exter-
miDation Of the whole Armenian popu-
lation Of the province was preconcerted.
The massacres b-oke ia a half dozen
different places almost simultaneously
and In every place the troops either ac-
lively aided in the butchery or passive
ly permitted il.
THE only native Christians in many
towns who escaped were those who fed
early in the trouble to the foreign mis-
sions- The Catholic and American mis-.
siOns at Adana at one time sheltered
10000 Greeks and Armenians.

LAWYER is ACCUSED
OF FORGING A DEED
Negro Attorney Placed on Trial
for Making Alleged Fraudulent
Sale Agreement.

PERI w. Frisby, a negro lawyer.

Court. No. 1, charged with having
forged an agreement of sale to bind
a bargain for the transfer of property
owned by Alice Z. Carroll. an aged

buy the property, and that on terms
that payment should he made by
twenty interest bearing notes each
year, so as 10 give her an annuity. the
woman agreed and signed the deed.
It is further alleged that when
Frisby brought the notes TO her, after
the deed had been signed, they were
found % be payable only after twenty
years, instead OF year by year. and
when "Auntie" Carroll sued to resSind
the sale, Frisby is said to have pro-

PRISONERS CHARGE
SECUTED BY FAMILY
Disproved by Much of Evidence,
Statement Is Not Believed by
Defense Attorneys.
By ALLEN D. ALBERT. JR.

James II. Boyle went to his life term
in the Allegheny penitentiary with a lie
on his lips
This Is the conclusion OF the Mercer
county newspaper correspondents, after
an examination into the statement Boyle
issued yesterday. 1t is conclusion easy
to understand. The story is fiimsy and
imaginative on its face. Even If It were
true, it would not lessen Boyie's own
guilt: It would only involve another.
But It is discredited hye Boyle's own
mother, by his attorneys, and. most or
all. by Boyle himself.
The charge is one Of four run down
by the writer while in Mercer county.
IT concerns one of Mrs. Whitla's three
brothers, Harry f4e IS man of about
thirty-eight years, unusually well liked
IN Sharon, regarded as having had his
ambition vitiated by too much money,
and afflicted by two unhappy mar
riages. His home is next door to tina.

there. and was or terms OF the most
