II don't want to see you or Judge

With these words, addressed to Job

has made several confessions of par
ticipation in dynamiting plots and
has implicated James b. Mcnamara
and John J. Mcnamara in the dyna-
miting OF the Times building, indi-
who are his co-defendants. 1t is evi-

been welded various circumstances

trict Attorney Fredericks reiterated
that not one word of what was taken
down when McManigal made his con-
fession had been given out, and that
none would be. The confessions were

Rumors were current that both Nc

cause Of remorse and the latter
through a determination to escape

Turkey is not nearly so benighted as
we imagine, for there is no servant
question there Though slavery is still
recognized, the kadun mistress of the
house, is mother to her servants,
whom she treats as children, and no
children In the world are better treated
than Turkish children. The most pain
full thing the kadun can do to a maid
is to say: The master has found a
good husband for thee Thou wilt be
married at such and such time"
"Oh, mistress, what have | done to
be thus abandoned?" is the usual sor-
rowful response
Even after the servants marriage the
kindly relations between mistress and
maid continue. There are no fixed
servant wages in Turkey Faithful
