QUELLING THE REBELS
MURDER METHODS IN BERLIN.
(Received March 19, 3 p.m.)
LONDON, 15th March. The Daily Express correspondent at Berlin states that Government troops assembled two hundred Spartacusian prisoners in the courtyard of Moabit prison, manacled, them in pairs, and ordered them to march into a space which was covered by machine-guns. The guns then opened fire and most of the prisoners fell dead. Those who writhed were riddled with bullets until movement ceased. The courtyard was drenched with blood. The bodies were thrown into carts and flung into a common grave. These executions will continue daily until Spartacism is •exterminated.
