| AN INFAMOUS WAGER.
Ono of the most revolving scenes recorded IL
| The annals OF modern executions took place OF
the.15th of HAY in tho Russian City Of Mohaleh
| Six months before, an alteration had occurred
at the dinner table Of the Hotel de lEufope, IT
t tina same place, between two officers OF the soc
ond regiment Of the Imperial Foot Gt1aras-Col
Rampos sojinok and Lieut.. Ibalos Prizzik. The
latter, it appears, 1ns engaged to be married to
| the daughter Of the landlord Of the above-men-
| toned hotel, Anna Mirasky. He VAS fondly at
tached to the handsome girl. and looked upon al
attempts on tha part OF bis comrades TO airt
| with her with undisguised jea1ouzy.
| On the Sd Of December, 1874, Col. sojinok
had drank considerably before going to dinner
1t the table he offered loudly to bet that for the
| sum OF $4,000 Anna Misasky would sell her
yfrtne to bn Lieut.. Prizzik. her athanced lover,
| was not present, but note which the girl i'm
| mediatelv addressed to him brought him in q
few minutes to the spot. No sooner had he
heard what the Colonel had said about Anna
| than he seized caue and administered terri
bio castigation to the foul-mouthed scoundrel
The Colonel tried to parry the blows, but the
Lieutenant did not cease belaboring him until
| his face presented q eickening appearance. It
was une mass ct bruises. The nose OF the
Colonel vas broken, and bis front teeth were
knocked ont. The cries OF the chxstised officer
brought the police to the spot.
PEi9sik Ras hrrested and taken to the military
prison. Next day he was court-marsialed by =
military commission, consisting exciua4ve4E OF
friends OF Col. SoJinok. The trial lasted two
hours. at The end Of which the President OF the
Court said to Prizzk: 3" The Court unanimously
finds you guilty. 1t sentances you to bs lgno-
miniously expelled from the army, and then suf-
fer death by powder and lead"
From this sentence the doomed man appealed
10 the Gar Anna Misasiy, his fancee, went
hefself to Sc. Petersburg, aud threw herself on
her knees before the Emperor Alexander IL
The latter was deeply moved by the fearful up
pea's of the unfortunate girl. and he promised
10 take the case into cal eful conside, atlon- ;.
Over five weary months passed, during which
time Prizzik, loaded with chains. 1anguashed in
jail. On the 14th Q. May, at length, the Mill
tary Governor OF MohileH received orderB to
have Prizzik executed At dnybreak on the fol-
lowing morning tho doomed lover was led out.
Two burly Corporats immediately fell upon him
nnd tore his Uniform from his back Then they
repeatedly struck him and spit in his faee. stag-
gerng under the blows, he Was tied to the stake,
and the death-warrant was read to him. He
cursed the Czar loudly for his injustice
soldiers we're drawn up in line before him. They
tired three yolleys at him, but not bullet hit
him. Such an ordeal was too much for the
nerVas Of the puor young fellow. He begged
guish. The fourth and dfth volleys resulted in
his receiving seven wounds. He was stiA con-
sc1ous, and writhiug in indescribable agony.
Then Corporal ran up to him, and, putting bis
muskeL against his temple, bic" ont his brains.
It Vas loudly asserted in 3IohileR that the first
two volleys wero fired with blank cartridges in
order to prolong the prisoners agony.
