MEW TRIAL IS DEMANDED FIRST REAL STORY London War Correspondent, Working in Disguise, Gives the News to the World. SULTAN'S ARMIES WIPED OUT Wfat White Woman to Be Convicted Of Murder , in Cook Conty for 20 Years -- Crystal Gazer Un- > moved at Jury Verdict. Ch!eagt>, Nov. 6.--Mrs. Louise Llnd- lo«, spirit medium and crystal gazer, was Monday night found guilty of poisoning her son, Arthur LindlofT, tor the purpose of collecting $3,500 in­ surance on his life. Punishment was Hxed at 25 years in prison. A new trial will be asked. The verdict, reached after five hour* and one minute of deliberations, came as a startling surprise to every­ body who has followed the case and to all who have watched for years tho conduct of prosecutions against wom­ en for capital offenses. "It has been so long since a white woman was convicted on a murder charge in Cook county," said Judge Cooper, "that I cannot remember the last case that resulted that way. It must have been something like twen­ ty years ago." Judge Cooper received the verdict for Judge Windes, who has been hearing the case and who* was so wearied with the prolonged trial that he felt unequal to the added strain of waiting for the result. Mrs. LindlofT heard the verdict with­ out showing by any visible sign the emotion it caused her. Supported by Sadie Ray and Mrs. Anna Wentzler, two Of her Strongest witnesses, she walked from the courtroom, and it was not until she had reached the cor­ ridor* that a sharp catching her breath, bearing only the faintest re­ semblance of a sob, escaped her. Miss Ray tod Mrs. Wentzler were weeping openly. It was four minutes before nine o'clock in the evening when the crowd of spectators in the courtroom received the news that a verdict had been reached. There was intense si­ lence as the jurors filed into the room. Judge Cooper addressed the jury With the question: "Gentlemen of the jury, have you •greed upon ^ verdict?" "We have,'" replied Foreman Felix Kalb, who thereupon handed a written verdict to Clerk of the Court Thomas Lavin. The latter returned to his desk, opened the paper and read: "We, the "jury, find the defendant, Mrs. Louise Lindloff, guilty in the manner and form charged in the in­ dictment, and fix her punishment at 25 years'imprisonment In the peniten­ tiary." > Then followed the formal polling of the jurors, each of whom .declared that the verdict was his. Whether the jury beliefred that the seeress poisoned tk^ five other mem­ bers of her family--her two husbands, her brother-in-law. and her two other children--could not be made known In the verdict. Evidence had been j admitted to show five other murders ' in addition to the one for which the I woman was tried. But the verdict, { of course, covered only the one. i WOLGAST IN DRAW FIGHT Lightweight.. Champion Meets His Match in Young New Orleans Chal­ lenger--Receipts $20,000. New Orleans, La., Nov. 6.--In what was one of the best ten-round bouts ever witnessed here, before the larg­ est crowd in twenty years, lightweight Champion Ad Wolgast and his New Orleans challenger, Joe Mandot, fought Monday night to what the consensus of opinion is probably a draw. Two local sporting writers favored Mandot. another a draw and a fourth unan­ nounced. Referee Ed Smith did not commit himself in the matter of choosing a winner. It is believed he considers a draw the best verdict. Mandot showed ability to come back that astounded even the most partisan of New Orleans' fans. Although near­ ly out in the second round, he fought back to even footing with the cham­ pion in the next seven rounds and the last three rounds were distinctly his. He ouboxed Wolgast easily in the last two rounds, and even if the rough Work is considered, Wolgast'e specialty, he held the champion even. The fight was strenuously contested ffom the start, and a more perfectly bandied on% was never seen here. Al­ though Mandot supporters held out till the last for a local referee, they to a man praise Smith. The gate receipts exceeded $20,000. Sixty in Narrow Escape.

Forty Thousand Have Been 8lain In Fierce Battles, Almost All the Artillery Captured, and Thou* sands Made Prisoners--Com­ plete Military Disaster. London, Nov. 6.--The world has had but meager details of the terrific fighting between the Turks and the al­ lied Balkan states. A strict military censorship, and the fact that corre­ spondents have not been permitted to accompany any of the armies in the field, have been responsible for keep­ ing the world in ignorance of these details. Martin H. Donahue, war correspon­ dent of the London Chronicle, in the guise of a medical assistant of the Red Cross workers, witnessed the terrible battle In Thrace, resulting in one of the most disastrous defeats known to modern warfare. To escape the Turk­ ish censors Mr. Donahue sent his story by automobile from Thorfu to Constantinople, and from there by boat to Constanza, Roumania, from where it was cabled to London. His story of the battle is as follows: "Irrevocable disaster has broken the Turkish army. It has suffered an appalling defeat. This has been fol­ lowed by confusion and a rout for which there is scarcely a parallel in history--a rout which in itB later stages degenerated into a wild panic, a stampede, which communicated it­ self to the whole fighting force. "As I am writing this dispatch the army corps forming Abdullah Pasha's splendid army lie battered and deci­ mated, and the defensive lines have fled pell-mell before the advancing Bulgarians. Defeat Is Like Sedan. "It has been the most complete mili­ tary disaster since Mukden, the great­ est debacle since Sedan. Forty thou­ sand men, the flower of the Turkish troops, have fallen, while Abdullah Pasha himself narrowly escaped their fate. Seventy-five per cent of his artillery was captured. His men seemed to melt away like snow before the summer sun. "After the disintegration began it soon became general; brigades dis­ solved into regiments, regiments into companies, and the companies be­ came small groups until al cohesion disappeared and the demoralization became complete. By handfuls the remnants of the army have found their way back to Tchorlu, the Bul­ garian artillery cruelly harassing them, mowing them down in thou­ sands. "For a like disaster one is com­ pelled to turn to Napoleon's memor­ able retreat from Moscow. "The Bulgarians, advancing in large numbers, strongly supported by their artillery, speedily drove back the Turks, who retired in the direction of Lule Burgas. Throughout the terri­ ble fighting the superiority of the Bul­ garian artillery was pronounced. The Turks were unable to stand the mur­ derous fire and withdrew slowly. "The gunners being dead and a ma­ jority of the horses being killed, the artilelry was forced to abandon guns to the enemy. The Bulgarians, who displayed extraordinary energy, press­ ed forward, determined to make the most of their advantage. 8helled From Lule Burgas. "By the afternoon the Bulgarians had shelled the Turks out of Lule Bur­ gas. "Fortunately the inhabitants had fled and the loss of life amongv non- combatants was small. Having ef­ fectually silenced the fire of the Turks, the Bulgarians launched an infantry attack, which stormed the town at the point of the bayonet. "The greater part of the Turkish garrison had already withdrawn, but the men of the rear guard were caught like rats in a trap. The sol­ diers of the fourth corps, although they had been without food for two days, offered a stubborn but unavail­ ing resistance. They died to a man. See8 Troops Slaughtered. "The Turkish commander in chief had watched the fight from the heights near the village of Satikeui, due east of Lule Burgas. As he observed the Turkish artillery and Infantry being mowed down his face grew grave. The Turkish artillery had from the beginning been poorly supplied with ammunition. What it had was practic­ ally expended in the morning fight, and now many gunners stood around the empty limbers with folded arms. "Unable to reply to the Bulgarian Are they awaited death, which came swiftly, with tiuo Ottoman courage. "Along the ^hole Turkish front the 4re. As thne want on It beoatne sim­ ply * carnage, men falling in hundreds. The morale of the troops was com' pletely destroyed by the appalling shell fire. When night closed in on the decimated Turks it brought only a short respite to Abdullah Pasha's army from shot and shell. The men badly needed sleep and food, but the Turkish commissariat was nonex­ istent. Chase Starvlng Turke. "No food was there and sleep was Impossible, as the pursuing Bulgarians were endowed with relentless force and energy. Turkish dead and wound­ ed lay everywhere and encumbered the ground in all directions. "Surgeons were few and ambulances absolutely none. The dead lay where they had fallen. Some attempt was made to remove and succor the wound ed, but the greater portion perished miserably in the bitter cold of the night. "For an hour the retreat was In good order, but subsequently, pressed by the mass behind, the vanguard speedily lost all semblance to an or ganized army. The men abandoned haversacks aDd rifles, all equipment "Two hours after sunrise the Bui garians obtained information of what was happening In the ranks of Abdul­ lah Pasha's army and started in pur­ suit. Thenceforward the retreat was a disorderly rout. Saklzkoj was speed­ ily occupied by the Bulgarians, prac­ tically without a shot being fired. The Turks' baggage, guns, equipment and all their military stores fell Into the hands of the Bulgarians. Tries to Flank Bulgars. "The only ray of hope throughout the long and bitter day of disaster and death was obtained by the par­ tial success of the right wing, under Mukhtar Pasha. While the left wing and the center were being fiercely assailed Mukiitar Pasha, under the or­ ders of Abdullah Pasha, essayed a coun­ ter attack. The Turkish right sought to turn the Bulgarian left and there was desperate fighting between Mukh­ tar Pasha's troops and the Bulgars on Istrandja Heights until night closed in. "On Wednesday the full strength of the Bulgarian army was hurled against the Turkish left, it being the weakest point of the entire defensive line. Abdullah Pasha's losses had been enormous and the Bulgarians were determined to force the Turkish left center at any Cost. In this effort a feeble reply was made by the Turkish artillery, and efforts were made to Bend munitions and provisions to the threatened flank. The transportation was inefficient, and no food forthcom­ ing for the starving, rapidly dwindling army fighting for its life, fresh ground was again and again conceded, and the First corps, which had been holding on grimly in the neighborhood of Tuk- bej on the northeast of Lule Burgas, was driven out early on Wednesday afternoon, its retreat eastward strewn with dead and dying. "Disquieting news continued to reach Abdullah Pasha from the har­ assed Second corps at Burmar Has- sar. "Its commander implored Abdullah Pasha to send reinforcements and ammunition, saying that he had come to his last cartridges, and his maga­ zines were empty. Wounded Are Unaided. "The ambulance wagons had brok­ en down, the horses being missing or shot. Consequently those wounded who could walk were left to shift for themselves, limping forward, usually with gaping shell wounds in the head or upper part of the body. Seventy- five per cent, of the wounded had been hit by shrapnel. This bears out elo­ quent testimony to the murderous precision of the Bulgarian artillery. "In the darkness of the night, the Turkish commander pursued his way toward Karisoirian, a small village ten miles to the'southeast of his old head­ quarters, in the vain hope of yet sav­ ing his army by stemming the retreat of the center. "Abdullah Pasha may have been ac­ tuated by the best intention, but his action was the worst possible step, and it brought disaster. The climax came at three o'clock on Thursday morning. When the Turkish left wing learned of the disappearance of itB commander it needed little for the panic-stricken soldier to fire his rifle and shout 'Bulgarians coming' to complete the confusion. Army's Fate Settled. "Chaos reigned. The general cry of 'Sauve qui peut' followed. In the dark­ ness of the wintry morttfng the whole army broke away and made a concert­ ed bolt for the road leading to the rear. Horses, stores, arms, everything was abandoned. Officers mixed pell- mell with the men, and carried away the rear guard in their rush. "Wednesday settled the fate of Ab­ dullah's army. His force could no longer fight. It had neither ammuni­ tion for the guns nor food to sustain the soldiers. Their pitiable plight brought to light every moment the hid­ eous defects of the Turkish army or­ ganization. It had occupied the cap ital lines of battle with a great flour­ ish of trumpets, but it was ill pre pared for the Hurculean task before it of conquering the highly trained troops were harrassed by a terrible I and efficient Bulgarians." Two of a Kind. "The most important question in marriage is whether the young wom­ en can keep house." "One quite as important is whether the young men can supply the house to keep." The Real Kind.

IND LOST BALLOONIST AMERICAN AERONAUTS WERE "BOTH WELL AND FREE." Land In Pskof, Russia, Going 1,000 Miles From Starting Point, Ma­ king 8plendid Record. Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 5.--"Both well and free" was the cheering mes­ sage received here from the American aeronauts, John Watts and Arthur T. Atherholt, who started iu a borrow­ ed balloon from Stuttgart, Germany, one week ago In the Coupe Interna­ tionale Des Aeronautics. No news of the two men having been received for several days after the start of the race, the Kansas City Aero club sent dispatch to Washington asking that three of the European governments be asked to be on the lookout for the men, and took other means of discov­ ering the whereabouts of the missing balloonlsts. Their friends feared they had land­ ed in the wilds of Lapland, or in the waters of the Arctic circle. They were therefore much relieved when George M. Myers, president of t he Kansas Ckty Aero club, received the following cablegram, dated Pskow, November 3: Both well and free." Pskow is undoubtedly Pskof, a city of 30,000, capital of the government of the same name in northwestern Rus­ sia, and south of St. Petersburg.

CLOWN ADMITS CRIME CONWAY CONFE8SES TO MURDER OF SOPHIA SINGER. Says He Killed Woman After 8he Had Attacked Him With Razor-- Exonerates Wife. Chicago, Nov. 4.--Charles N. Con­ way confessed to the police that he struck Miss Sophie G. Singer, the Bal­ timore heiress, last Monday night, knocked her senseless with a cloth- covered door knob, stuffed a towel in. her mouth and bound her, from which treatment Miss Singer died. It was twenty-four hours almost to the pilnute after his wife had brand­ ed him as the girl's slayer that "the wooden-footed clown" admitted his guilt. Conway corroborated the story his wife had told In every essential point. In this respect his story was a sur­ prise to the police. They believed the "queen of burlesque" also had played a part in the killing. The clown, however, took especial pains to exonerate his wife. "She had nothing to do with it," he insisted, and he repeated this just as earnestly after he had learned his wife had accused him. The gist of Conway's story was to the following effect: "Sophia came to the rooms where we were living together and asked my wife to go out with her with two men. She wanted her to do something that was Immoral. That made me angry and we got Into a quarrel. While we were squabbling my wife left the room. When she had gone Sophia sprang up in a rage and attacked me with the handkerchief containing the doorknob. "I snatched it out of her hand. As I did so she seized a razor that was upon by dresser. Then I struck her with the weapon I had taken away from her. Afterward I gagged her and tied her up. I didn't think she was dead. I had not meant to kill her. But I did not want her to give an alarm. My wife did not think Sophia was dead. After we had tied her I told my wife we would have to get away. We went out the back way, fled through an alley, and got a street car. We went to Hammond and thence over a tortuous course to Lima, O., where we were arrested."
