Ransom Threat Looms Over Miss Stone Held by Turkish Bandits
Paris reports Miss Ellen M. Stone, missionary in Turkey, is held by brigands in a remote mountain region. Captors demand 150000 dollars within 30 days or she will be killed or forced to wed a bandit. She has been treated with unusual courtesy, two brigands serving her. The incident recalls six year-old case of Mme Gerard DeTrineville, who became a nun after a ransom failure and later wed a bandit husband killed by her father.
