OF Hadgi Mus,apha and his brother, a
youth of l3 years ofage ; they were both
tortured Tor IA days, in various ways, got
no sleep, and Hadgi was most severely
hassnadoed. He received first, 1000
strokes, and after that or 500 daily
Alter he had received 1850 strokes in

died two hours after. The Turks fear
