TORTURE IN RUSSIA.
GRUESOME WORK OF BOLSHEVIKS. By Telegraph.—Pre3s Assn.—Copyright. . Received Oct. 26,11.30 p.m. . London, Oct. 24. Majro Sayer, who has returned from Russia, gave Reuter an account of his investigations at Kieff, Kharkoff, and elsewhere. His report showed that there have been wholesale murders and robberies. Torture chambers are part of the normal life of Bolshevism in Russia. Many Bolshevik torturers and murderers of men and women were captured. They pleaded that they were not responsible. Cocaine fiends joined the Bolsheviks in order to get supplies of the drug. One of the worst was a young woman, who specialised in killing white officers. She is credited with the murder of several hundred. Her practice was to stand the victim against the wall and start shooting with a revolver, beginning at the feet and working up th» legs to the body, only despatching the sufferer finally when he was in a state of collapse.—Reuter.
