On evidence furnished by former
comrades. Forrest Eaglan, of s14 "

yesterday by ofncers from the
Seventh precinct as a suspect In
the case OF the negro assailant of
women
Eaglan. who was formerly an
employe Of the Kirkside Country
Club as a caddy. claims to have
been absent from this city since the
date Of the last assault, but ac-
cording to former friends. he was
seen lettering in the vicinity of
the crime for several days preced-
ing the attack.
Inspector Clifford L Grant, after
several hours with the suspect, was
unable to shake his testimony TO
the effect that he is innocent of the
crime. and had not been near his
former place of employment for the
past month.
However. according to the in
spector. the man made several
false statements as to his activities
on the date Of the crime.
The victims of the negro hend
were given an opportunity to see
the prisoner, but failed to identify
him positively as their assailant.
Two OF the young women state
positively that Eaglan is not the
man who attacked them. while two
others declare he somewhat re-
sembles the fiend.
Regardles of the fact that the
victims Of the brutal attacks OF
the negro, fail to identify Eaglan
as their assailant he will be held
until proof of his innocence can be
established. -

TURK SENTENCES
VIEWED AS TRICK
Sincerity Questioned as
War Lords Are Beyond
Pale of the Law.

Tho news that Turkey has con-
domned TO death her war lords. Enver.
Pasha, Talaat Bey and DjemaI Pasha
is regarded here as a shrewd Turkish
policy TO win the support Of the al
lies and the United States.
The sincerity OF the move is slightly
minimiZed by the fact that the men
who have been condemned to death
are outside the jurisdictions OF the
court martial and Turkey. having ned
when they saw the debacle that Was
to come after the war and the defeat
Of Turkey. II is also noted that the
Turkish court-martial imposed i'm
prisonment for fifteen years on those
officials who are in the hands OF the
Turkish government.
II is understood among officials
however. that Turkey has seen very
clearly that the demand OF the allies
and the associated powers for the
punishment of leaders in Germany.
who are responsible for the war and
inhuman acts. must be complied with
and that Turkey might as well begin
to act in advanee OF any demands that
may be made upon her.
Another comment made on the Turk-
ish trials yesterday was that IL is not
improbable that as soon as Germany
gets going" she may follow the lead
OF Turkey and bring some OF the gen
erals to a court-martial trial what
ever may be the result.
