Wife's Testimony Fails to Acquit.

Nevada, Jan. 27.-After deilper-
ating nearly eighteen hours q dis
trict court jury found ]. c. johnson
of McCallsburg guilty on charge
OF the burglary of the Reed hard
ware store and the larceny of half
dozen rifles, revolvers, automatic pis-
tolls and other goods. The only evil
dence that the state was able to
produce was the fact that a search
found the goods secreted In the
mans apartments and that he was
a stranger there and had been living
without any visible means OF sup
port. To overcome this the defense
introduced the testimony OF his vile
to the effect that during the absence
of the husband an affinity" OF hers,
who had committed the burglary,
brought the goods to their apart
ments and planted them.

NO BASIS FOR

Premier Believes Italy Can Force
Turkey to Beg for
Peace.
ITALY TO MAKE CONCESSIONS

Rome, Jan. 27.-No basis for ne
gotiations for peace between Italy
and Turkey which are likely to have
any probability Of success has been
found, although the work of the
European diplomatic chancellories
has been carried on actively both in
Constantinople and Rome during
the last few days.
Replying to suggestions from var
ious embassies, Turkey says that the
powers, if they are DESTROYS of peace,
should induce Italy to make conces-
sions, since Turkey cannot accept,
with no form Of redress, the spolia-
ton she has suffered.
Rome, on the other hand. to the
hints of the foreign chancellories,
responds that the only remedy for
the present situation is that pres
sure should be put by the powers on
the porte,
The representatives of the powers
declare that If pressure were brought
to bear on the porte and the porte
should resist, as everything appears
to indicate would be the case, either
the powers would have to withdraw
and suffer humiliation or have re-
course to coercion. This would mean
making collective naval demon
stration in Turkish waters, which
would ultimately end In landing
in Constantinople and would raise
the general European coniagration
which all are DESTROYS of avoiding.
Premier Gilliotti still holds that
Italy will be able to force Turkey
to ask for peace. For this reason
the converting OF parliament instead
Of taking place at the end OF JAM
uary, has been postponed until Feb
ruary and even may be delayed I'M
til March.
In the meantime the Italian COM
mander-in- chief in Tripoli has ar
ranged to make a general advance

step in this direction by occupying

ment palace awaiting the result
shouted violent protests. \ The ex-
citement increased rapidly and some
of them rushed into the court room,
riddled General Montera with bull
let's, seized his body and dragged it
into the open air. There they hack
ed the head of the shoulders, gath

fire and then cast head and trunk
into the flames.
The excitement lasted throughout

Paez, who were captured at the same
time as General Montero, were, 1t is
reported, sent to Quito at midnight.
They will be tried by court martial
