Giovanni Standish, another witness
to the tragedy and Mrs. Lillian Rosen.
thai, widow of the murdered gambler,
were other witnesses whom, it was
expected, the state would call early.
The informers, Rose, Vallon, Weber
and Schepps, were held in readiness as
usual and it was thought possible that
enough progress might be made to
reach Roses testimony.
Thomas Ryan, chauffeur ana an
eye witness of the murder. was the
first witness called today. His ap-
pearance was a surprise to the de-
tense for his name had not previously
figured in the case.
The four gun men were brought into
court and Ryan was asked to pick out
the man who fired the shot that kill
ed Rosenthal.

zone, comprising Adrianople and
Kirk Kilisseh, just south of the Bull

mobilization was ordered great
stream of men has been pouring into
the district at the rate latterly of 20
600 daily. Turkish officers recognize
splendid qualities of the men in the
ranks. of the Bulgarian army.
The reliability of the Christians
serving in the ranks of the Turkish
army is one of the great problems OF
the moment for the Ottomai com.
manders. The Armenians are expect
ed to behave Loyalty, but it is said
that it would show ignorance of hu-
man nature to expect Greeks to fight
against Greeks or Bulgarians against
Bulgarians and there are many of
these nationalities in Turkey.
The feeling among the native Chris
tians may be gauged to certain ex-

service by the payment of tax or by
bolting abroad.

Whom did you refer to of these
four men," asked Assistant District
Attorney Moss.
Ryan appeared frightened.
Il didn't refer to anybody he de-
clared, shifting his eyes quickly over
the four men.
Didn't you tell the assistant district
attorney in the prsion yesterday that
you were afraid to put your hand on
him." pursued Mr.. Moss.
II was afraid to because l might
put my hand on the wrong man," an
swered Ryan in a weak voice.
Can you swear" interrupted JUS
tice Golf, that any one of these four
men fired the shot? Look at the pris-
oners."
Ryan gave a feeting look at the
four. Everyone of the gun men was
eyeing him.
Il cannot" he replied in trembling
voice. Ryan was then allowed to go.
He was followed on the stand by
Giovanni Standish, an eye witness
who saw three men with revolvers,
but was not sure whether more than
one fired at Rosenthal. Again the four
men were brought into court.
Standish left the witness stand, and
with hesitation picked out Whitley"
Lewis as one of the three he had seen
He was unable to identify the others,
but swore that Whitley" fired one of
the shots.

the messenger repeatedly, asking:

Bleeding, Burgett crouched in the
corner of the car while the robbers
brutally beat and kicked him, but did
not reveal the hiding place.
The bandits searched the car care
fully, found nothing, then applied the
air brakes.
BY this time the train conductor
had begun an investigation. AS the
conductor came forward with his Ian
tern, the robbers fled.
In answer to the conductors re-
peated knockings on the door of the
express car, Burgett struggled to his
feet, unlocked the door, then tainted.
He was revived long enoungh to give
brief sketch of the attempted hold
up and the train was rushed into

A posse was organized to pursue
the robbers into the hills near Hat
field and Potter, Ark. Near Potter
the wounded robber was found.

IS ATTACKED
BY ENEMY
SCUTARI MAY FALL At ANY time
and. LONDON HEARS that
FORCES OF MONTENEGRO ARE
MEETING WITH SUCCESS

London, Oct. 1.-THE fall of the
Turkish city of Scutari is imminent
Unless Turkish reinforcements arrive
soon, the town, with its manufactures
of firearms, will be taken by the ad
vancing Montenegrin army. The Otto
man government took lightly Monte
negrin threats, and the Turkish mil
itary authorities were not prepared
on that frontier as on the Servian and
Bulgarian borders
Hence the reported continued sue
cess of the King Nicholas forces.
The Montenegrins followed uI
their success by capturing yesterday
the fort guard in Tushi, thus improv
ing the road for an advance on Scutari
and an official telegram received by
the consul general of Montenegro in
London says the advance has begun.
Il is pointed out here that the way
cannot be travelled without serious
fighting as the Albanians in the vicin.
ity have been aroused by Turkish
emissaries and are expected to join
the Ottoman troops. News from other
parts of the Montenegrin frontier is
more conflicting. If, as is generally
believed, Montenegro precipitated her
declaration of war was part of the
strategy of the Balgan allies, the un-
preparedness of Turkey on her from
tier must have Influenced her decis'
iCn.
Constantinople, Oct 11.-(From
steamer in the Dardanelles Kestendje,
Roumania.)-No fewer than 10000
Turkish troops from Asia Minor will,
it is estimated, be in European
Turkey. This will bring the effective
force of the Turkish army there up
to four hundred thousand men.
Turkish officials say that the day
of trial has found the military de-
pots full of stores and army equip
ment complete and of good quality.

BANDITS WERE
DEFEATED BY
ONE man
EXPRESS MESSENGER ON KANSAS
CITY SOUTHERN TRAIN GAVE
Them A DOSE OF LEAD and
SAVED HIS PACKAGES. BADLY
BEATEN UP

Ft. Smith, Ark, Oct 11.-Four ban
dts bungled the hold up of a north
bound Kansas City Southern passen-
ger train between Hatfield and Mena,
Arkansas, early today. One was
wounded and captured and the others
escaped after a battle with Express
Messenger Merrill Burgett of Kansas
City, in which Burgett exhausted his
ammunition and was badly beaten
Burgett shot the robber who was
discovered an hour after his compan-
ions had deserted him. The robber is
being conveyed to Mena. Fifty OF
more men in armed posse are pur
suing the bandits. Burgett is in a
hospital at Mena. He will recover.
The train. known as No. 2. left Hat
field, Ark, about 2 o'clock. While
Burgett was working in his car he
W the bandits clambering up to the
side door. They smashed the glass
with their revolver butts.
Burgett sprang to his most valuable
packages and hid them, despite the
hail of bullets which the bandits
poured into the car.
The packages hidden, Burgett
turned his attention to the invaders.
AS Burgett fired at them the robbers
reached through the smashed window
and loosened the catch which held
the door from the inside. They sprang
into the car, firing at Burgett as they
advanced. The messenger leaped be-
hind some baggage and met the rob-
bers' gre. The train had attained a
speed of about 80 miles an hour, and
apparently none of the train or loco
motive crew knew that hold up was
being attempted. A last shot fired by
Burgett before the robbers gained the
inside of the car, wounded one of
them.
The fight continued hot until Bur-
getts cartridges were gone. The rob.
bers closed in and overpowered him,

Al the st. Louis meeting he was

WAS Mr.. Gompers registered at the
hotel at the time?' asked Attorney
J. W. Noel.
"He wasn't registered, but he was
around the hotel a good deal,' ans

United States Senator Kern, for the
defense, objected. "Mr. Gompers is
not defendant. He has nothing to

Nothing, other than it will be
shown that he had something to do

Denver, Colo, Oct. 11.-Colorado is

Sam Blythe: Il don't know which
way it will 60"
On the basis of political form
there are perfectly good reasons for
predicting that. the state will be
Woodrow Wilson's by 10000.
On the basis of equally good polls
there is Bull Moose sentiment equal
ly sure to give Roosevelt the state
by that same 10000 majority.
AS usual, the one thing certain is
that Taft is running somewhere lit
tie ahead of Debs. In the mines and
rolling mill sections he will not poll
so many votes as Debs.
This is hom Wilson's friends con-
vince themselves that he has the

ally evenly between republicans and
democrats, 100000 each. The result

This year the democrats are unit
ed and the republicans divided. So
it is easy to predict that the 100000
democratic votes will be polled for
Wilson and the 100000 republican
votes divided. These Projectors
would give Roosevelt 10000 and Taft
10000.
