The provost marshall ut Mandalay
has had lately to superintend the exc
cution of numbers Of Burmese Dacoits.
Not content with having them shot
down in ordinary business fashion, the
provost marshal, who has n morbid
taste for amctuer photography, has on
several occasions added unspeakable
torlue to his victims death pungs by
delaying the interval between orders
to "prcscn" and "firc" long enough
TO allow him to take TWO or three
negatives with the camera he carries
about with him.
lie pleads scientific interest as nm
excuse for his barbarty, but so far he
has nothing even scientific to show in
selidcfcncc, for, being a poor hand OF
photography, his attempts to fix the
horror aud anguish of violent death on
his negatives hauc been abOrtive. The
provost marshal's methods were SO
lcisurcly that the absence of results is
surprising. Having had the prisoners
drawn up line against a wall, he would
station the firing platoon before them
and get the camera into position and
calmly prepare his plates. The officer
commanding the soldiers was instruct
cd not to give the fatal signal till the
plate was exposed Thus the most
Interesting negatives were obtained of
the very moment Of the prisoners
death agony.
On ono occasion nc varied his scicn
iiiic sports by cXtorting incriminatIng
evidence against the Burmese minister
from Il native named WoOguct by
threatening him with execution. Five
DacotIs had been shot in W0oguc's
presence. lie himself was then placed
against the wall. The platoon were
ordered to level their guns at him, and
he was thus cowcd into making the
desired statements after the fashion
which prevailed in the Tower of Lon
don in sixteenth century. The British
commissioner declined to act on such
evidence.
The provost marshall's brutality 90
cXasperatcd the English and native
spectators that it was only the presence
Of the troops which prevented ne
attempt to lynch him in difference TO
the indignant protests. A rigid in
curry mas been ordered, and this
modern lnquisitor will take no more

rigidly inquire into these
facts. 1t is no wonder the Times cor
