SERVIANS SHARE IN VICTORY Atackers Fight With Desperate Bravery—Two Hundred Go to Certain Death Unflinchingly. Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian. CETTINJE, MONTENEGRO, April 23.—King Nicholas, of Montenegro, accompanied by Crown Prince Danilo and the Montenegrin staff, entered the captured city of Scutari !n triumph tQ-day. After a long siege, which began October 20, when Mon tenegro declared war against Tur key, the Montenegrin flag finally flies over Scutari. Three thousand Montenegrins were killed in the final assault Tuesday, and 5.000 Turks fell. Twenty-two thousand Turkish prisoners were taken. Since the siege began 10,000 Monte negrins have been killed or wounded. The assault upon the Turkish city was one of the most remarkable of modern times. Despite the repeated demands the European powers made that the bombardment cease. the Montenegrins grimly continued their attacks upon the city, assisted in the last few weeks by the Servians. Servians' Shelling Effective. The final fall of the city chiefly is due to the Servian artillery. The Servians moved several batteries of powerful siege guns to the firing line. Almost continuously day and night for three weeks the Servian guns kept up a terrific fire upon the fortress surrounding the city. The Montenegrins fought with des perate bravery. In the repeated at tacks upon the citadel of Tarabosch, the Montenegrin soldiers aacrifled their lives with a recklessness which commanded the admiration of all Eu rope. A corps of 200 Montenegrins climbed the steps of Tarabosch o cut the wire fences which the Turks had erected to impede charges. Each soldier knew he was going to his death, and not a man of the 200 sur vived. Scutari fell before a grand assault, made by the Montenegrins and their Servian allies after a final general bombardment of forty-eight hours, during which the city was set on fire. The flames were communicated to an immense powder magazine, which ex ploded. War Minister Leads Victors. General Martinovitch, the Monte negrin Minister of War, who has been in the field at the head of the west ern division of the Montenegrin army since the Balkan war broke out, led the first column which entered the fallen city. Famine, disease and vio lent death was seen on every hand. The chief fortress was that on the summit of Tarabosch. After this fell, the city was doomed. Esed Pasha, the Turkish commander whose stub born resistance had balked the Mon tenegrins for six months, sent word that he would surrender. It was feared that a terrible mas sacre would follow the downfall of the city, because of the desperate de fense made by the Turks, but this did not prove the case. The Monte negrin and Servian troops immediate ly after their entry placed' the city under martial law. News of the victory caused great rejoicing here. Scutari was the last city in Europe held by the Turks, with the exception of Constantinople, and its fall means that peace will be concluded without further delay. Early Resumption of Peace Plans Expected. SOFIA, April 23.—Dr. Daneff. who was the chief of the Bulgarian peace envoys at the Bondon conference, will leave here for London on Monday.

Cohen’s Failure to Appear in Court Blocks Proceedings Against Widow Ac cused of Slaying. Failure of G.

In the meantime, Solicitor Dorsey called Elmer E Dar den to trial. The call for witnesses in the Darden case was begun at 9:15 o'clock.

Jerome, in the Dakota Hotel on February 25, entered the criminal division of the Superior Court to-day to plead “not guilty*” be fore Judge L. S. Roan. Mrs. Appelbaum. before the trial began, said she had prayed constant ly. “But." she added. “1 do not rely entirely on prayers. The facts, when they are put before a jury, will clear me I am innocent and I have no Sene I Ua outcome."

Solicitor Dorsey expects the case to be in the hands of a jury to morrow. Accused in Good Spirits. Mrs. Appelbaum arose early at tb*» Tower this morning and long befor- the hour for her departure for the court room was anxiously awaiting the arrival of attendants. She was dressed as she was yesterday—black broadcloth s'kirt. black silk waist and black oxfords. If anything, she was in better spirits and more confident of acquittal than she has been sinefe she was confined In the Tower, three months ago. Solicitor Dorsey will attempt tn break down the theory advanced bv Mrs. Appiebaurn’s lawyers that Apple banm shot himself. Whether he had any witness, or witnesses, that would throw any additional light on the mystery he would make no statement, but he was equally as confident of conviction, he said, as Mrs. Apple baum and her attorneys were of ac quittal. tl is understood the Applebaum de fense will be based on the testimony of two witnesses, the men who testi fied at the coroner’s inquest that in the interval between the first and second shots they heard in the Apple- bauni room, they distinctly heard footfalls, as if some one were running in the hall past their door. If the Jury believes it was Mrs. Applebaum that ran past G. Cohen’s door before the last, or second, shot was fired, the suicide theory will he established, for it was only a few seconds after the last shot was fired that Mrs. Applebaum. hysterical, ran into the hotel lobby. Some one did run by Cohen's door toward the staircase, say her lawyers, and the\ will attempt to show it was the woman on trial for her life, running from the sight of her hus band shooting himself, o: possibly go ing for medical aiu. With the exception of a heightened pallor caused by the long confine ment and a slight tingd of grey in her ha id, Mrs. Appelbaum looked but little different from the pictures of her printed at the time of the shoot ing. She was. however, an entirely different woman from the almost hys terical witness at the coroner’s in quest. She was perfectly composed and took a lively interest in the proceedings in the court room Black Sheep of Rich Family.
