BRUSILOFF'S DAUGHTER.
SHOT BY BOLSHEVIKS. REFUSED TO ASK FOR PARDON. (Received 11 a.m.) LONDON, June 22. The "Daily Mail's"' Berlin correspondent reports that the daughter of General Brusiloff, the Red army commander and formerty the Czar's Com-mander-in-Chief, was executed by the Bolsheviks at Moscow for concealing sacred vessels to prevent them falling into the hands of the Bolsheviks. She was informed that in view of her fathers services a petition for pardon would be favourably considered. She replied: "I cannot accept pardon from the bloody hands of the executioners of the Russian people." She was therefore shot. — (United Service.)
