(ey Associated Press.)

SEUL, Korea, Nov. 27.-The salient
feature Of today's sitting Of the court
trying the 106 Korean prisoners,
charged with conspiring against the
life Of Count Terauchi, was the whole
sale retraction by kimiIjun Of the
Testimony he had given at former
trial.
He at that time admitted he de.
sired war in order to free Korea and
that he desired to kill Governor Gen
eral Terauchi, and implicated a num-
Der OF leaders.
INSANE At FORMER TRIAL.
kimiIjun calmly asserted today
this was tissue Of lies. In explana-
tion, he said he was insane during
the last trial, and had been driven to
make statements by treatment Of the
police. At the conclusion Of hours of
examination, kimiIjun said he was
sad when the independence OF the
country was lost, but he believed It
to be for the best because the former
governor was bad. kimiljun has been
sentenced at the first trial to seven
years. imprisonment. Six other pris-
oners were examined in the course
Of the day.
TORTURED BY THE POLICE.
All Of them told the same story, re-
tracing the confession they had
made before the procurator, and as
sertino they had been tortured by the

RESERVES ORDERED TO REPORT
GAMBLING HOUSE
ROBBED OF BIG sun

! WINNIPEG, Man., Nov 27.-Two
masked men held up gambling
house on Ninth avenue, Calgary, Al
berta, early this morning, and after
lining seventeen men up against the
wall at the point Of their revolvers,
relieved them OF between $4,000 and
$4,000 in Jewels and money.
After cutting the telephone wires
the bandits made their escape.
Up to a late hour today the police
had not been notified of the holdup,
because the gamblers feared prosecu-
tion. The robbery occurred within
a stones throw Of the Canadian Pa
cific depot, this morning, when the
robbers, masked with handkerchiefs,
walked boldly into the room and COM
%.uanded the players to hold up their
hands. Red George" Josh Henthcrn
and Morris Daily, three Of the visitors
in the place, and their companions,
were promptly lined up, with their
faces to the wall
George was relieved Of $685., Hen
thorn OF $1,375, and other players Of
lesser amounts. No shots were fired.
One man attempted to slip his bank
roll down the back Of his neck, and
was raped on the head by one of the
highwaymen and knocked senseless.
The general belief is that some gam
blers, who knew of the high play Of
the place, had something to do with
the hold-up.
