CHAPTER XXV.
The Hetman's Gendarmes Assassinate My Two Children
When I spoke of Platon's malicious glance, at home, my wife's relatives, who were native Kievites, warned me: "Be careful, John,
Scene Seven.
Metropolitan Platon is now Skoropadsky's right hand and he can do whatever he pleases." The rumor was current all over Kiev to ​the effect that Skoropadsky would soon convene a Church Assembly of the Ukraine whose function it would be to confirm the appointment of Metropolitan Platon as the Independent Ukrainian Patriarch. It is also rumored that all of the Ukraine, that is the part which had formerly been Russia and Galicia, is now united. This meant that Platon would be Patriarch of Great and Little Ukraine, as distinguished from Patriarch Tikhon of all the Russias.
Metropolitan Vladimir delivered to his assassins by Platon and Vladimir’s servant.
When I remarked that the Russian Patriarch would not permit this, I was laughed at and told that I did not know how matters stood. Why, Platon was among those who went to Germany to ask that German troops be sent here. In case Tikhon makes a fuss Platon will join the entire Ukrainian Church to Rome, and will ​remain Patriarch just thes same. … Had I not heard that very day Platon’s sermon after the thanksgiving mass, I would have said, perhaps, that all this was the product of my relatives' imagination, but Platon's speech made such an indelible impression on my mind, that, as a Russian of the Orthodox Faith, I could not possibly forget it.
My relatives' misgivings soon materialized. I began to be followed and, in spite of the fact that I changed my quarters prac-
Metropolitan Platon, after stealing $80,000 from a monastery in Odessa.
tically every other day, I was trailed, and one night the Hetman's Gendarmes broke into my house … I hardly had time to put my wife out of the window. This almost cost her her life, because she fell from th second story and soon afterwards gave birth to a still child … and then … then … my heart throbs with such pain that I cannot think of what happened without weeping bitterly, ​without clenching my fists, without gnashing my teeth. … My lips, in spite of all my efforts for control, whisper curses to the assassins … before my eyes my two babies were slashed to death with swords—two infants, who as our Saviour said, are alone worthy of beholding the image of our Heavenly Father. … A number of people rushed into the room as if by miracle, and I was rescued from the Gendarmes and succeeded in making my escape and hiding myself. Late at night, I climbed in through the window, took my children’s bodies to the basement, put them both into one coffin, brought by my relatives, and buried them. … But I had been watched even more vigilantly than before. The very next night, my apartment was broken into, I was arrested and taken to jail. This was in May, and in September I was assisted to escape. In October, 1918, Kiev changed hands once more—this time the city was again captured by the Soviet Armies.

CHAPTER XXX.
I Trace Platon to New York
After all the tortures which I have but briefly described here, I learned that Metropolitan Platon, who had robbed me and who was directly responsible for all my torments and suffering, was in Odessa. My wife and I went there, but when we arrived, he was no longer in Odessa. He had robbed the treasury of a certain convent of $80,000.00 ​and sailed on a French steamer, first for Constantinople, and then to Bulgaria. With this information as a clue, in an endeavor to get Platon, I hurried on to Bulgaria, only to discover, while in Sofia, that Metropolitan Platon had left for America quite a while ago.
Early in November, 1921, I arrived in New York, and came to the New York Consistory, at 15 East 97th Street, where Platon makes his home. I asked to be announced without disclosing my identity. Platon did not receive me, but I was permitted to see Bishop Alexander Nemolovsky. Alexander listened to my story and asked me to submit a petition. I did as I was told and submitted a petition on November 17, 1921. When I came to him with it, Alexander became so enraged that he pounded me on the chest, and shouted: "If you, you Anti-Christ, you, will dare ask His Holiness for money, we will make short shrift of you—this is not Russia. You will be arrested and deported to Russia as a dangerous Bolshevik!" That was the reply to my petition that Bishop Alexander Nemolovsky gave me and he must have been well informed about all by Metropolitan Platon. After venting his rage on me, he left the room. The people in the Consistory advised me to go to the well-known people's priest, Father Vladimir Richlov, who lived on Madison Street. "He is a great favorite of both Alexander and Platon," they told me. "He is a Jack of all trades. He leased a house on Madison Street, and pretending to be the owner, has borrowed thousands of dollars on it to date, and, just watch, Platon will make good all his obligations for him. Buimistrov, Chairman of the Church Relief Committee, promised to present Richlov with $8,000.00 for the purchase of the house. It is rumored that Richlov 'massages' both Bishops. He is in their apartment now. He can do anything with them. If he becomes interested in your case, you will get your money in the twinkling of an eye."

CHAPTER XXXII.
Platon Obtains My "Confession" by Fraud
I perused the paper Father Richlov handed me. It was a rough draft of a written confession, dictated by Metropolitan Platon and transcribed by Father Richlov himself. I have it among my papers as documentary evidence. The paper read as follows:
"Your High Eminence, Bishop Metropolitan Platon! Merciful Archpriest and Father! I herewith confess as before the Lord God, Himself and before your Eminence, that I have been guilty before you. 1) I confess in writing that I have never ​given you any money; 2) That I have insulted you in vain with my letters and personal calls in Russia and in America. I surmise that both you and I must have been the dupes of unscrupulous persons; 3) I entreat you on my bended knees to forgive me, I have suffered a nervous break-down from the horrors of the Revolution and from sorrow for Mother-Russia. Bless me with your Holy Benediction, and may I learn to be humble and patient. Pardon and forgive me, the sinful and unworthy one. I swear that to my dying day, I shall never make any demands on you. Please pray with your holy orisons for me. Your Spiritual Son
(Signed). . . . . . . . . . . . . . ."

CHAPTER XXXIII.
The "To-Morrow" That Never Comes
Their "to-morrow" has lasted until this very day, and not alone that,—Father Richlov, in the name of Platon and his assistant, Alexander, has ever since then been threatening me with jail and deportation to Russia. "Your confession is in the hands of Metropolitan Platon, and if you utter one word about your money, you will land where you will never be found. And if you dare annoy me, my wife will make short shrift of you by throwing you out, and my son Volodia will thrust a knife into your belly. Don't forget with whom you are dealing—I am of Cossack descent!" After this, taking Priest ptashchuk with me, I called at the Consistory three times an twice at the office of the Chairman of the Russian Relief, Mr. V. V. Buimistrow, during June, 1922.
During my first call, on a Wednesday, I saw Bishop Alexander Nemolovsky. I asked him, in Father Ptashechuk's presence, when my $7,600.00 would be returned to me. I told him that so far I had received but $200.00 and the New Testament. The Bishop answered: "I know nothing about the matter. I sent you neither the Gospels nor the money. Come back on Friday at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Father Richlov will be here and we will discuss your affair."
​The next time I called at the Consistory with my wife and Father Ptashchuk on Friday, at 2 o'clock instead of 3, and asked to be announced to Platon or Alexander. We were told to wait. We waited until 3:30 then asked once more to be announced. The butler, on returning from the Bishop’s apartments, delivered this message: "The Master asks you to call to-morrow, because Father Richlov is not here, anr consequently you can get no audience." In spite of this answer, I asked my wife and Father Ptashchuk to wait with me. Soon Alexander appeared, accompanied by a priest. I asked for his blessing. Having noticed me, Alexander appeared frightened and jumped back. "Give me your blessing," I asked, to which he shouted in reply: "Go to the devil! No blessing for you!" and then added: "I have already sent word to you that Father Richlov is not here to-day, consequently, we cannot receive you. Call to-morrow. I have not and am not going to announce you to Metropolitan Platon. If you don't like the Book of Gospels, you may leave it here." I had hardly time to open my mouth, when he left the room.

CHAPTER XXIX.
Justice Triumphs
Finally, I was once more dragged out for a hearing. In the room to which I was brought there were all new faces, although otherwise everything was as before. As soon as I saw the people who were sitting at the table, I understood that something new was about to take place. I was told that my case was being investigated all along, and that all those guilty of the robbery as well as the informers-provocateurs and the magistrate who tried me, but did not impart the true information to the Commissariat, had been arrested and sentenced to be shot. The Chinaman who had hit me with the butt of his gun, was executed. It was my guard who had robbed me and who, having taken out the window-pane, had handed over the valise with the money to his brother. The latter, together with Lubansky, took out the money, filled the valise with sand, replaced the window-pane, and fastening it with fresh putty, made off. All the money, in the same packages as originally packed at the bank had been taken from the guard's brother. Siemashkevich and Lubansky were found guilty first because of agitating against the Government in speeches made in Bielayah Tserkov and Lipovitz and, then, because they had spied for Petlura and for Skoropadsky, respectively. They were both sentenced to be shot. I could not believe my ears. I was taken out to the court-yard, and there, in my presence, all the culprits, with the exception of Metropolitan Platon, were executed. He had also been sentenced to death, but had made good his escape.

CHAPTER III.
I Undergo a "Rehearsal"
The priest (Archpresbyter) Father Slunin, took me to Ivan Timofeyewitch Gorokhoy, leader of the Cathedral Choir. He there asked me whether I had any means of subsistence. I, not knowing Father Slunin well, did not tell him about all my funds. I merely
Father Chepelev
said that the little money I had would do me for the time being. Father Slunin then said to me: "You must be quite tired after your journey, therefore you had better rest for a few days."
Four days later Father Slunin called on me and said: "Well, now that you have rested let's go to the Consistory." I went together ​with him to 15 East 97th Street, where I again met Archbishop Platon. He gave me his blessings, invited me to his apartments and began to quiz me about Russia, about the health of the church dignitaries we knew in common, about myself, etc., etc. After that, having learned about me from my documents and letters of introduction (which among other things contained a request to find me some work in the Diocese), Archbishop Platon said to me: "Before I find a position for you, you will have to be put on probation. Besides," he added, "you must, without fail confess before Archpresbyter, Father Slunin."
Ivan Timofeyevitch Gorokhov
On my leaving Platon's apartments, I was called into another room where Mr. Gorokhov gave me a test in academic subjects. After the test, Mr. Gorokhov went to the Archbishop's apartments, and on returning told me that I needed a few rehearsals in chanting and singing. This, despite the fact that my Seminary diploma indicated that I had the highest mark in those subjects, and that I did not make a single error in the test Mr. Gorokhov gave me. After this the "rehearsals" began and lasted almost until September. However, nothing was mentioned during these "rehearsals" about Church music or Church reguations.

* Opinion of the Court
United States Supreme Court
275 U.S. 66
Baltimore Company v. Goodman
Argued: Oct. 20, 1927. --- Decided: Oct 31, 1927
This is a suit brought by the widow and administratrix of Nathan Goodman against the petitioner for causing his death by running him down at a grade crossing. The defence is that Goodman's own negligence caused the death. At the trial the defendant asked the Court to direct a verdict for it, but the request and others looking to the same direction were refused, and the plaintiff got a verdict and a judgment which was affirmed by the Circuit Court of Appeals. 10 F.(2d) 58.
Goodman was driving an automobile truck in an easterly direction and was killed by a train running southwesterly across the road at a rate of not less than 60 miles an hour. The line was straight but it is said by the respondent that Goodman 'had no practical view' beyond a section house 243 feet north of the crossing until he was about 20 feet from the first rail, or, as the respondent argues, 12 feet from danger, and that then the engine was stiil obscured by the section house. He had been driving at the rate of 10 or 12 miles an hour but had cut down his rate to 5 or 6 miles at about 40 feet from the crossing. It is thought that there was an emergency in which, so far as appears, Goodman did all that he could.
We do not go into further details as to Goodman's precise situation, beyond mentioning that it was daylight and that he was familiar with the crossing, for it appears to us plain that nothing is suggested by the evidence to relieve Goodman from responsibility for his own death. When a man goes upon a railroad track he knows that he goes to a place where he will be killed if a train comes upon him before he is clear of the track. He knows that he must stop for the train not the train stop for him. In such circumstances it seems to us that if a driver cannot be sure otherwise whether a train is dangerously near he must stop and get out of his vehicle, although obviously he will not often be required to do more than to stop and look. It seems to us that if he relies upon not hearing the train or any signal and takes no further precaution he does so at his own risk. If at the last moment Goodman found himself in an emergency it was his own fault that he did not reduce his speed earlier or come to a stop. It is true as said in Flannelly v. Delaware & Hudson Co., 225 U.S. 597, 603, 32 S.C.t. 783, 56 L. Ed. 1221, 44 L. R. A. (N. S.) 154, that the question of due care very generally is left to the jury. But we are dealing with a standard of conduct, and when the standard is clear it should be laid down once for all by the Courts. See Southern Pacific Co. v. Berkshire, 254 U.S. 415, 417, 419, 41 S.C.t. 162, 65 L. Ed. 335.

The Life of James Thomson
By HENRY S. SALT
"Such is the story which Mr. Salt tells, and tells simply and sympathetically. He 'had not the advantage of personal acquaintance with James Thomson,' but he writes as if he had. There is a brighter side to the picture, and to this also the biographer does justice. He throws into relief the brighter qualities of this unhappy man—his social gifts, his brilliant talk, his capacity of friendship, receptivity, and humour, and, above all, his popularity. We are treated to plenty of his letters, and these are really a treat. . . . But whatever the demerits of Mr. Salt's criticism, this seems certain—that the perusal of his 'Life of James Thomson' will prove in most cases a prelude to the perusal of James Thomson's works."—Scots Observer.
