GUTHRIE BOY ON ARMY
TRANSPORT ENROUTE TO

An account Of the slide III the

trip from Galveston to Manila, on the
army transport, "Buford," is given in
a letter to home folks written by John
Nissley, son of Mayor Nissley. The
letter reads:

Canal Zone, October Oh, 1915. Dear
Folks: 1t was just 400 p. III. of the
goth of September when the regimental
band of the 9th Infantry struck up
"Old Lang Syne," "Dixie," "Tipperary"
and the national airs and the u. S. A.
r. "Buford" backed out of the slip at
pier 12, at Galveston. At 5:1S we
dropped our pilot and the Buford
started her own course toward Panama

that morning was the deep blue of the

CIVILIZED WOMEN AND chill
DREN FLAYED WITH WHIPS
AND OUTRAGED

London, Oct. 16.--"There is only
one power that can stop the Armen-
ian atrocities and that is Germany,
declared Viscount Bryce at meet
ing today at the Mansion House in
support of the Lord Mayors fund in
aid Of The Armenian sufferers. He
declared the only remedy was to
bring the pressure of world opinion,
particularly of neutral opinion to
bear on Germany and force her to
take action.
Viscount Bryce, who proposed a
resolution condemning the reported
atrocities, paid tribute to the intel
ligence and progressiveness of the
Armenians, who, he declared, were
far superior to the lNIohammedans,
and he declared the case was not so
much one Of religious fanaticism as IL
was of deliberate determination OF
people Of whom the Turks we're en-
yious.
The horrors OF the massacre ex-
ceeded anything in the history of per-
secutlons, declared the speaker. Won

driven across the Arabian desert
with whips. by the Turks, who went
mad at Trehizond, carried their vic
Tins out to sea in boats and drowned
them.
Women, many of whom were as
highly civilized as any Of u.s. he do
clared, chad been sold into slavery
whore they were Mohammedanized "
He declared untrue the excuse offer
ed by the Germans for the Turks to
the effect that Armenians had re-
belled, the speaker declaring that the
Armenians were quiet and inoffens-
i've until forced to defend themselves.
In socending the resolution Car
dinal Bourne said that the evidence
was so strong that even Germany
was not able to deny the massacres.

History of the Case.

4
Mrs. James II. Martin, wife Of a
well known attorney Of southern Illi-
nois, was murdered at her home here
on the afternoon of July 30, 1915, by
joe Deberry, a negro whose parole
from the state reformatory she had
obtained
The crime was committed. according
to the negro's story, after Mrs. Martin
had refused TO give him fifty cents.
Deberry, angry, followed Mrs. Martin
to her room and beat her to death with
a poker.
| The crime was discovered about an
! lhouf after 1t was committed, and De-
berry was arrested as suspect. To
prevent mob violence, the sheriff took
him first to Marion, ILL.,, then to Carmi,
and then to Harrisburg, the mob fol-
lowing in automobiles. A pretense of
taking the prisoner from Harrisburg
also was made, but In fact he was Kept
there until he was brought to Murphys-
boro for his trial. aVg

berry confessed.
On Sunday, August 20. Deberry was
smuggled out of the Harrisburg Jail
under the protection Of three COM
panies of the Illinois National Guard
and taken to Murphysboro for trial.
The guardsmen were on duty at the
court house the following day when
the case was called but no trouble
resulted.
Deberry pleaded guilty, but the pre-
siding Judge would not accept the plea
until Deberry had consulted counsel,
and as Deberry had no attorney, the
court designated one to represent him.
After consultation with his attorney,
Deberry again pleaded guilty and was
to be hanged on October
16, 1915
Less than three weeks after the
murder OF his wife, James H. Martin
died. His death was attributed large
ly to shock caused by the tragedy.
A son of Mrs Martin asked the
sheriff to allow him to spring the trap
when Deberry was hanged but the
sheriff denied this request. More than
5 900 persons asked permission to wit
ness the execution.
