ATROCITY STORIES
REPORTS FROM SPAIN. COUNTER-CHARGES LAID. GRUESOME ALLEGATIONS. (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) Received October 3, 8.58 a.in. LONDON, Oct. 2. Charges and counter-charges of atrocities in Spain appear almost daily and are generally given with some reserve. Two documents with an official flavour were issued to-day. The College of Lawyers of Madrid are circulating a world-wide document declaring that the rebels massacred 9000 at Seville, 3000 at Saragossa, and 1500 at Badajos, where they were herded into a bullring and mown down with machine-guns, the wounded being left lingering among the dead. At Geneva the delegates received from the rebel headquarters at Burgos a list of horrors attributed to Government troops in every city captured in Southern fcpain, including 91 slain with axes at Buena, 23 burned alive at Araha prison, and tile shooting of Coionel Luix Pinzon, a descendant of Columbus’s associate, in the presence of his two sisters, who went mad.
