T-lbel Suit Ends In Popular Exe " cration of thje Sick Man Judge Favored the Defendant. Parle, Aug. 4. The Turkish embassy bere, acting under instructions from the Yaldiz Kiosk, brought a suit, which was heard today, against Ahmed Rizza, editor of tlie Mechveret, a young Turk journal, and his assistant, Ganem, for Insulting the Sultan. Tlie case was chiefly noteworthy owing to the sympathetic attitude of the judge and pu' lie prosecutor, and the out spoken utterances of the witnesses iu favor of the defendants. The puMlc prosecutor made no attempt to conceal his distaste of the duty Imposed upon him by his orrice, and he referred to the accused ss "the honorable defendants.'' Be remarked that several French news papers had quoted the Mechveret articles and had defied him to prosecute them. The Turkish embaisy had not applied for the prosecution of these papers. li. Clemenceau appeared as a witness for Ahmed Rizza. lie denounced the Sul tan as a coward and assassin. This evoked applause, which the judge did not suppress. It was expected that M. Henri Roche fort, editor of the Intranslgeant. would be a wituess, but he was absent. Ho wrote, however, reaffirming the allega tions that he had made in that paper to the effect that the Sultan had sent Zla Pasha to corrupt him, and that the Sul tan's emissary had declared to him that Emperor William had received a brlha from the Sultan of 240,000 pounds sterl ing. The accused were found guilty, but the court gave them the benefit of the first offender's act, which would exempt them from paying the fine unless they again of fended. This decision was received with cheers and shouts of "longlive France" and"JJown with the Sultan." KICKING AT THE COSTS. the Kew bouth "Wales Govern tneut on American Extruditloiis. Sydney, N. S.

Escaped From the House of Mrs. ' McCarthy on K Street When Dis coveredPursued by William Adnmx Police Warned, but Failed to Arrest the Fugitive. The police department was all excite ment last night over a mmor that Carr, the ravisacr of Rosa Robinson, was in the city and had beeu located at the house of Mrs. M. P. McCarthy, at No. 21 Kstreet northeast. There was a great gathering of officers at headquarters. The major of police was there. Inspector Pearson was there and the entire detective force reported for duty. Mr- Charles Doten, of Ko. 27 K street northeast, gave the information which led the police to follow up this clue.. Do ten's wire was a sister to Charles Bald win, Carr's intimate friend. The story of Mn- Poten's illness, caused by the police raid of the Doten residence, Is al ready familiar to the public. Mr. Doten went home yesterday and his wire informed him that Carr had been in the house all the time. He was con cealed in a loft between the ceiling of the fourth floor and the roof. Mrs. Doteu said that her illness was in a large meas ure due to the fnct that she knew Can was In her home. Mr. Bbten decided to tell the story to the police He called on Major Moore yesterday and Inspector Hollinberger de cided to have the house searched. Precinct Bctectlve Barnes, wlio has bungled lu this affair several times, accompanied by Po liceman McDonald, went to the Doten residence about 6 o'clock yesterday evening. A fiir search was made, but the un skillful sleuths failed to discover the man. He, nevertheless, was in the house. While they were looking for him he had crawled over the root and down into a neighboring house, occupied by Mr. Conley of the Gov ernment Printing Office. Inspector Hollinberger, however, was convinced that Carr had been in the Doten residence. A message was S2nt to all the precincts to look out for him. Detectives were dispatched to all parts of the city, Carr all the while being In the back room or Mr. Coulpy's houe. About 7 o'clock Miss May Conley, ac companied by Mrs. Conley, went to the Tourth floor of the house. The young lady noticed a gleam or light as she weut up and also that the trap door leading to the roof was open. Having occasion to go into the upper story shortly afterward she found that the trap dcor had been closed. The presence of Carr, however, was still unknown to her. Upon going downstairs the Carr incident was a subject or con versation. During the rainfall, Mrs. Con ley went upstairs to clobe the windows. As she stepped into the room, a young man with a bundle under his arm came from behind the door. 'Carr,'' she streamed. Mistaking her gestuic of alarm for an attempt to seize him. he struck at her viciously, but. fortunately, failed to hit her. The family down stairs hparing the noise, strangely enough, Immediately thought of Carr. A moment later Carr ran down the steps and out Into the street. William Adams, a bookbinder In the Gov ernment Printing Office, accompanied by a young lady, happened to be passing the house. Noticing that something was wrong, he hastened to Inquire what was the matter. Carr informed him that it was only family trouble and went on up the street. CaTr had gone but a short distance when he started t run and Adams then knew that something was the matter. Mrs. Conley just then appeared at the door and, although too excited to speak, pointed to tbe fleeing man. Adams started atter Carr, and being eomehlng of an athlete, soon had hold of the fuchive's collar. Garr turned and struck Adams a crushing blow with a pair of shoes which he had in a bundle. Adams mo mentarily released his hold. Carr then made off In another direction, Adams again pursuing. Tbe pursuit lasted for several squares, carr rinauy running Into an alley between L and K streets A crowd had meanwhile collected and, although a thorough search of the neighborhood was made, no trace of the fug'tive could be found. The Ehocs which were dropped by Can In hlsflighN werepirked up by Adams, who had a bloody nose as another souveuir. A policeman was scon found and the de tectives at headquarters Informed. The railroad tracks were closely watched, small streets f.earched and all avenues leading out of the city guarded, but Carr could not be round. The .shoes were identified as belonging to Carr and many persons who knew the fugitive called at the Sixth precinct Nation and inspected them. Mrs. Conley said last night to a re porter that she knew Carr when he was a wall boy, but had not seen him in re cent years. From the general appearance of the man who struck at her in her house, however, she Is positive tliat it was the assailant of Rosa Robinson He had on a coat, but no vest, and his clothes were wrinkled and dirty, aa though he had not had them off for some time. He was in his stocking feet, holding his shoes In one hand, while he had a bundle under his arm. Adams gave a similar description of the man, adding that he had on a dark slouch hat, which he pulled down over his eyes as he ran. ne in every way answered to the description of Carr. The police were positive that the man was Carr, and ex pect to have him under arrest today. Mr. Doten denied some portions of the story concerning his part In the case. Hp denied that he gave Major Mcore the information, and said that his wife did notcommunicateanythlngtohim, although be admitted that the house was again searched with his permission. He denied that Catr was in the house. There was much excitement about the McCarthy premises. Crowds of people collected and not a few aided the police men In their search. Detectives visited the McCarthy house and made careful Inquiry Into all the incidents connected with the escapade. Tbe locality where Carr disappeared was surrounded by officers, every availa ble man being pressed Into the search. The Finest liWnch Boards 91 per 100 ft Llbbey & Co. , 6iu and N. Y. ave.

After carefully locking the door of her room so that her husband could not get In when he returned home from a day's outing at Coney Island, she drank halt a vial of carbolic acid, turned on the gas and sat down on a chair to await death. Mrs. Jaeger began making preparations for her death early yesterday afternoon. It was evidently her Intention to make the event as dramatic as possible, for she rirst called on Coroner Hoeber at his homo and notified him that she would have a case for him the next day. Then she went home and wrote him a long letter, review ing all her troubles. Finally she tacked a notice outside of her door forbidding any body but the coroner to enter, and went to her death attired In a whife silk even ing gown. Mrs. Jaeger was a rather good-looking woman, forty-bix years of age. She was attired la the height of fashion when she called atCoioner Hoeber's home yesterday and seemed cool and collected as she put a fcerles of perplexing questions, to the coroner. "1 want to know," she said, "just what means one must take to report a suicide to the coroner's office?" "What is the case?" asked the coroner. "Oh, it isn't ready, yet," said the wo man, with a laugh. "Well, you can report It in person, or by letter. It's better to report it in person, for that facilitates matters. If you have a case of suicide to report, why, you can reach me by telephone, either here or at the coroner's office. I advise you, how ever, to tell me now what you mean. If you know of a suicide, it is your duty to tell me of it." . ; "Oh, I don't,'' said Mrs. Jaeger," "but" I may be tomorrow, lou don't leave home for down tolvu before 10 o'clock in the morning?" "No." "Then you'll hear from me, in all prob ability, by the morning mail. Good-by, and Mrs. Jaeger went away. The coro ner concluded that the woman was de mented. In the mall this morning Coroner TJoeber got a letter sixteen pages long, written In German, and telling him that the writer would be dead when he received it. It was Eigned "Clara, Jaeger," and contained instructions for the coroner. Be grabbed his hat, and in a very short time was at the. conservatory very much excited, and demanding to kuowwhat had harpeued. He was enlightened by Prof. Jaeger and Dr. S". N.

He returned home at midnight and found his wife's room dour locked. Die concluded that it was another one of the little eccentricies to which ?he was addicted and. going into another room slept soundly until 7 o'clock. When he nrose there was a strong smell of gas in the room, and remembering thelockeddoor, he ran to his wife's room. The door was still locked, and on a piece of paper tack ed to it was written: "This door Is not to be opened except by Coroner Hoeber, whom I havenotiricd." Very much alarmed, Jaeger summoned a doctor and two policemen. The door Jwas broken open and the woman found dead. The coroner refused to ;glve out "the full contents of the letter.
