INHUMAN CRUELTY.
GENEVA, Feb. 21
An amazing case of inhuman cruelty has been revealed in the isolated village of Montsevelier, where a woman aged 30 was locked up for three years in a small dark, unheated cellar, which was in an indescribably foul condition.

Her scanty food supply was pushed through a small hole in the wall. Her parents have been arrested.
