HEAVY MOUNTAIN SNOWS
Friend* of the Abducted Missionary
Do Sot Think She Can Possibly Hove
Survived the Rigors of Her Captivi
ty by the Brigands.
New York, Nov. 4—Tho positive
conviction that Miss Stone is dead is
contained in a letter which has just
been received in Boston from Ivan
Raduloff, a student who was with the
American missionary when she was
captnred by brigands in Turkey to
gether with Madame Tsilka, says the
Boston correspondent of The Press.
According to this letter tne snow in
the mountains into which Miss Stone
and her companion were taken by their
captors was 3 feet deep three weeks ago,
at the time the letter was written. Even
in the summer time the snow upon the
highest summits of these mountains
does not melt.
It was the conviction among Miss
Stone’s friends in Samakov, Bulgaria,
three weeks ago, that she could not pos
sibly have survived the rigors of her
captivity until that date. There was a
hope that Miss Stone might have been
concealed by her captors in the monas
tery of St. Ivan of Sila, which is near
the Bulgarian-Turkish frontier end on
the Bulgarian side of it.
So great was the anxiety of the Bul
garian government to do everything in
its power to assist the United States
representatives in their effort to find the
missionary that they adopted the ex
ceedingly unpopular measure of order
ing a search of the monastery. This
search disclosed the fact that Miss Stone
had uot been there. It is understood in
Samakov that tne brigands who were in
immediate charge of tne captive were
under positive instructions to take her
life at the first indication of the proba
bility of a skirmish with the troops.
SAMPSON-SCHLEY COURT.
Program For the Presentation of Ar
gument by Counsel.
Washington, Nov. 4 —Two new wit
nesses were heard in the Schley court of
inquiry today and both of them were
called in the interest of Admiral Schley.
They were Frank B. Riohards and
George Lvnch, both of whom went
through the Cuban campaign as news
paper correspondents. Mr. Richards
was on the press-boat Pencro and testi
fied concerning the interview with
Captain Sigsbee, while the latter was
in command of the St. Paul off feauti-
ago ill Mav. 1808. Mr. Lynch was on
the Somers N. Smith and was called to
relate his recollection of Captaiu Sigs-
bee's cimmunication to tho boat, con
cerning which Photographer Hare and
Correspondent Scovil already have tea*
*'*During the day Captain Lemley sub
mitted for tho consideration of the
conrt a large moss of documentary evi
dence, including Captain Goodrich a re
port concerning coble cutting made on
April 29, 1898.
There has been no change of tho pro
gram arranged on Friday for the pre-
■enration of argument by counsel.
Mr. Hanna will lead oil for the gov
ernment and it wa, expected at the be-,
ginning of today’s session that he would
begin his presentation of the case dur
ing the afternoon sitting, but that he
would not be able' to oouolude until to-
m< M^°'Snnna will talk for about three
hours and will be followed by Captain
Parker, on behalf of Admiral Schley. It
is expected that these two speeches will
oonsumo most of the court's time tomor
row and it is now believed that Mr.
Raynor for Admiral Schley and Cap
tain Lemly for the government will con*
elnde the presentation of the cate to the
court on Wednesday and probably part
of Thursday.

negro, was killed 2 miles south of
Graves, this county, in a cotton patch
with a breechloading shotgun. Jordon
Jackson, also a negro, was the only
evewitness to the shooting. He says
House shot himself accidentally, but
disclosures before a ooroner’s jury led
to a verdlot charging Jackson with bo-
log guilty of the crime.
Dr. J. H. Lewis testified that the na
ture of tbe wound made it almoit Im
possible, under tbe eircamttanoes, for
the dead negro to have inflicted the
wound himself, accidentally or other-
wise. The gun used was 10 or 12 feet
from the body when other persons
reached the soene, but was aftowards
moved to within 4 feet of the body,
seemingly to give more color to the ac
cident theory. :
