KIRKMAN STAYS IN PRISON
Disgraced Army Officer's Sentences
Held to Be Consecutive.
TOPEKA, Kan., July 31. Judge
Smith McPherson. of the United States
District Court for the Southern Dis
trict of Iowa, filed an opinion here to
day with the clerk of the Federal Court,
denying an application for a writ of
habeas corpus made by George W.
Klrkman. ex-Captain of the United
States Army, now serving three years
in the Federal prison at Leavenworth,
Kan. The decision Is important as
bearing upon the 'matter of time off
allowed military prisoners for good be
havior. Captain Kirkman was first convicted
of conduct unbecoming an officer and a
gentleman. He was sentenced to' dis
missal from the Army and to serve a
sentence of two years in the Federal
penitentiary.
In April, 1905. he was tried again on
a similar charge, found guilty, sen
tenced to dismissal from the Army and
to serve an additional year in the peni
tentiary. The second charge against
Klrkman recites his career for the two
years previous and bore particularly
upon the alleged relationship ending in
the suicide, last Winter, in Omaha, of
Mrs. Chandler, wife of Lieutenant
Chandler, of Captain Klrkman's own
company. the Twenty-fifth United
States Infantry. "Breach of arrest"
charges were filed because of Klrk
man's leaving the post while under ar
rest, and while going to Valentine,
Neb., where, it was charged, he met
Mrs. Chandler, who killed herself two
days later.
Both orders were approved by Presi
dent ' Roosevelt, June 15, 1905. The
wording of the Judgments failed to
state whether they should be con
strued or considered as cumulative or
consecutive and at the expiration of the
two years' term, less credits for good
conduct, Klrkman applied .to the Fed
eral Court to be discharged on writ
of habeas corpus, his contention being
that the two Judgments were cumula
tive. The court. Judge Pollock presid
ing, discharged the writ and remanded
the prisoner, holding that such judg
ments were consecutive, and in effect
a sentence of imprisonment for three
years. The court conceded that Judg
ments of the civil courts would be con
strued as cumulative, but that judg
ments of .military courts should be con
strued as consecutive. Kirkman ap
pealed to the Circuit Court of Appeals,

Coey's Loving Letters.
After identifying a large bundle of
letters, written by Coey to Hiss Mat
thews, she was excused. These let
ters have not been made public, but
they are said to be moderate In tone
and indicate that Coey and Miss Mat
thews were very intimate. They were
addressed "Dear Girl," "Dear Little
Laura" and "My Dear Laura." Sev
eral telegrams were also offered in
evidence.
One letter begins, "Find inclosed
fifty dollars." Another. "Your loving
letter received."
The Coroner, when asked as to the
nature of the letters, said they were
of a character which did not reflect
seriously upon Mr. Coey.
C. L. Kingsbury, bellboy of the
Acacia Hotel, testified that on Sunday
afternoon he overheard a telephone
conversation between a man and MVss
Matthews. He cut in on the wire Just
as the conversation ended, but over
heard the man say, "Kill you from an.
, bush." ' Miss Matthews said "WhatT"
and the man repeated what he had
I said.
Deeply. In Love With Her.
At the opening of the afternoon sea-
, elon the letters written by Coey to Misa
iMatthewa were read to the Jury. The
lettere Indicate that Coey was deeply
' In love with Miss Matthews at the time
of writing. They abound In protesta
tions of love and are written in a
manner calculated to carry with them
conviction of the sincerity of the writer.
Such phrases as "I cannot get 'along;
without you." "I will live for you if
you will live for me," and "Life is
short, so why not be with the ones we
love the most," are incorporated in the
letters. In nearly every letter Coey
encouraged Miss Matthews to be a
"good little girl" and come back to him
with health restored.
INSANE WITH LOVE OF IAURA
Intended to Divorce Wife for Her,
Though She LoTed Coey.
DENVER, July SL A special to the
Denver Post from Mount Pleasant, Pa.,
says:
Amos R. Rumbaugh met Laura Mat
thews in Chicago two years ago, while
there on a business trip, and fell des
perately in love with her. He did not
tell the girl that he was married, and
she did not discover it for many months,
in the meantime he showered costly pres
ents upon her and did everything to win
her. "I will get a divorce and we will
marry," he told her. Miss Matthews ac
cepted his attentions, but told him she
expected some day to marry Charles B.
Coey. Rumbaugh persisted in his atten
tions and began neglecting his wife and
business to go to Chicago and visit the
young dramatic student.
Two weeks ago Rumbaugh went to Chi
cago, where he learned that Miss Mat
thews had gone to Colorado. He wrote
to his business partner in Mount Pleasant,
saying he was going West and would
probably never return. Then he boarded a
train for Colorado Springs to Join Miss
Matthews.
FRIEST FACES NEW COUNTS
FOUR . INDICTMENTS AGAINST
ARMENIAN FATHER.
Police Believe Detection of Murderer
of Rug Merchant Will Lead to
Other Disclosures.
NEW TORK, July 3L Four indictments
now; lie against Father Levont Martoo
gesslan, the Armenian, who, it is alleged.
sometimes laid aside his priestly robes
to practice extortion and blackmail. The
priest Is just now the central figure in
the1 conspiracy which the District At
torney seeks to prove had for Its object
the robbery of wealthy Armenians and
led to 'the murder of the rug merchant,
Tavshanjian and others who refused to
be financially bled.
rom tne slayer or Tavsnanjian, Bearos
Hampartzoomian, as he is known here,
the police, hope to secure a confession
establishing'- that the youth unwittingly
is the agent of the blackmailing terror
ist. Once the assassin is convinced that
he was more of a tool than a patriot,
the police expect to make disclosures that
will make easy the wiping out of a
dangerous gang.
Of the three additional indictments
against ' the . priest brought in today
by the grand Jury on the charge of
attompted bribery, as did the original
indictment, and one alleges extortion.
The latter charges that the priest is
responsible lor at least one of the
blackmailing letters which preceded
the death of the rug merchant.
The late afternoon developed an im
portant witness when Magderlch Lus
trlan, a blacksmith, was examined by
Assistant District Attorney Hanley.
According to information later given
out at the District Attorney's office,
the witness said that he had often
attended meetings of the Hunchakist
society at which Martoogessian pre
sided. Continuing, he is alleged to
have stated that he knew of five dif
ferent cases where men had been sent
from this country to Europe at the in
stigation of a man to murder persons.
On two occasions, Lustrian said, he had
been chosen to do murder, but man
aged in various ways to shift the re
sponsibility.

RAISULI THREATENS DEATH
War on His Supporters Causes
Danger to Cald McLean.
TANGIER, July 31. The govern
ment troops, under command of Caid
Bouchta, renewed operations against
the lawless trlbea today. They sur
prised the village of Alkala, inhabited
by Ralsull's supporters, at daybreak
and set it on fire. A brief fight en
sued in which many were killed and a
large number of persons fell into
Bouchta's hands. The commander of
the troops offered a big reward to any
one delivering to him Raisuli, dead or
alive.
Raisuli's lotter to the Sultan's min
ister, threatening to kill Caid McLean
and an urgency ' message sent to
Bouchta acquainting him with the
threat and advising suspension of hos
tilities, have so far had no deterrent
efect on the commander of the Moroc
can troops.
Raisuli refuses to treat with the Sul
tan and insists that Great Britain com
pel the Moorish government to accede
to his terms and secure their execu
tion. These terms include a demand
on the part of Raisuli that he be mado
governor of the northern tribes. Fail
ing this, he threatens that he will kill
Caid McLean.

LONDON, July 31. Rev. J. R. Camp

logical views recently caused a sensa

congregation, seems now indited to
enter the field of politics in the social
labor interest. He was formally invited

the next vacancy in the parliamentary
representation of Cardiff, but he re

Explaining the American vote in oppo

the plan of the United States to limit in
every way possible the list of objects that
shall be considered contraband of war,
but to go further than this now would be
a violation of long-established customs.
The change. Mr. Choate continued, would
create many uncertainties regarding the
rights and duties of neutrals and belllg-
eranta, prove more injurious to the com
merce of the world than the existing
custom, and contribute nothing to the In
terests of peace.
The British proposal on contraband, to
gether with the proposal submitted by the
United States and Germany upon tha

divides contraband into two classes, abso

saying:
"I am glad to see you," hesitated, and
added, "perhaps.

"Because you must not ask me anything
about my case. I am not permitted to
talk about It." she replied.
Are you lonesome?
"Not a bit," she said, "I am happy.
I read a great deal and then I stand
here and talk across to my husband, and
I sleep soundly at nignt. I nave plenty
of fresh air and a clear conscience, so
why shouldn t I be happy?"

listening In silence. He shook hands ami
ably, but declined to discuss the case,

ment today:
'The theory the state will go on now

tween Mr. and Mrs. MaglU, and that she
carried out her part of the agreement."
