INHUMAN CRUELTY.
WOMAN LOCKED IN CELLAR
CONFINED FOR THREE YEARS,
(Received February 21. 3.25 p.m.)
GENEVA. Feb. 11
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 ceilai. which was indescribably foul, and not 'heated. The unfortunate creature was clothed in a few rags, which had to be soaked in water before they could be cut oft with a pair of scissors. She was a mere skeleton. and her hair was quite grey.
Her scanty food was pushed through a small hole in a wall. Her parents have been arrested.
