Philios Alexin. who died in Lamia
the other day, at the great age of "a.
had in his youth. unwillingly contri-
buted to one of the most terrible
deeds perpetrated by the Turkish
forces employed to crush the Greek
rebellion Of 1921. He was plying his
trade a. . master carpenter, in his
native town, when Omer Brionig Pa
sha entered Lamia In triumph, after
his victory over the insurgents at
ThermOpyl@, where he had taken
several insu:rectianary leaders prise
ners. among them the celebrated
champion of Hellenic liberties. Atha-
sesios Diakos. The fierce Moslem
commander doomed that heroic youth
to be spitted on wooden stake and
be roasted alive; and Alexin was re-
quired, on pain of death. to supply
the executioners of this barbarous
sentence with all the implements
needed for its fulfiilment; that is to
cay. u spit of timber. fitted ut either
end with q handle, by which it might
be made to revolve, and two stout
wooden trestles, provided with circu-
lar grooves, wherein both extremities
Of the stake might have free play dur
ing the luckless patriots martyrdom
On April 28, 1921. as soon IS Alexin
had completed the task imposed upon
him, the Pasha's inhuman decree was
carried out to letter.
