FORMER SULTAN
STAYS TWO WIVES
HIS HANDS ONLY WEAPON USED
BY ABDUL HAMID-VIOLENT-
LY INSANE.

NEW YORK, Feb. ga cablegram
from Constantinople to the American
says Abdul Hamid, former Sultan OF
Turkey, has gone violently insane,
killed two of his wives and is CON
fined in irons.
The murder of the two women, who
were among those who accompanied
Abdul Hamid from onstantinople
when he was exiled by the young
Turks, was brutal. He choked one
of them to death and dashed the other
so violently against the wall that she
died few hours later. The exsul'
tan was subdued only after a fierce
struggle in which he himself was Sc.
verely injured.
Abdul Hamid is confined in a dun.
geon beneath the villa Allatina which,
while set apart for him as a residence
is in reality his prison. He was sent
there on April II, 1909, when the
Turkish revolution brought about the
young Turk party was finally complet.
ed and Sultan Memhid v assembled the
throne.
