KIDNAPING OF MISS STONE BY BBIGANDS Macedonian Committee Im plicated In Abduction. STRANGE RELIGIOUS SECT 1 A TERRIBLE PIST0L DUEL SENSATION LOOKED FOR QUITE A GRAVE AFFAIR Thc-y Claimed the Attributes of Di vine t’ower and Viet.in zed tlanj Youn" tiiris and Older Women—Or der of “ I heocratic Unity.” London, Oct. 10.—The hearit>£ of the case of Tueodore aud Laura Jackson, alias Horos, who are cnar^ed vitn con BpirniK to aelraud women ol mouej' aud jewelry by fortune telliug, was resumed today. Laura Jackson, lormerly Ann Odeha Disdi^bar of New York, made a strange appearance, rine wore m the dock a loose cream colored decollette garment, resembling a surplice, over which was a pale blue silk robe, which she wore when remanded Sept. 26. Charles M. Mathews, senior counsel to the treasury, represented the treas ury. He derailed three charges against the prisoners, obtaining money under false pretenses, procuring girls and rape. The offenses, said Mr. Mathews, were committed by fraud unique in tne annals of crime. The Horos established a religious sect called rheorarie Unity,” claimed the attributes of divine power and induced girls to misconduct tnemselves with the order under the belief that it was a nee- essary part of their religious devotion. “Poverty, chastity aud obedience," were the watchwords of the “Tne- ocratic Unity,” which was also called the “Purity Lf.igue.” Cnastity, however, only applied to married peo ple. Neophytes joining the unity were obliged to vow secrecy and profess belief in tne divinity of the Horos, both of whom, said Mr. Mathews, possessed mesmeric powers, ana especially Laura. The latter frequently interrupted coun sel with loud screams of “False.” A well bred woman, 23 years of age, who, the pro-eeuiors say, is the oldest of the many victims oi the Horos, te.^'i fled in support of Mr. Mutuews’ state ment. Evidence in the case was adjourned until tomorrow. It is probable that there will be many sirtiiids of the police court before the case goes to a jury The government officials expect the prison ers will receive life sentences.
