A SPY'S PUNISHMENT.
A Most Revolving Murder in
Russia.
1t is Supposed to be the Work of Nihilists-
Behold the Punishment of Spy on
the Liberauors Of Russia"
Especial to THE RERA1D-Examiner pisnatcb

Especial TO THE RERALD-Examfner Dispatch. I
NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-Advices Just re-
celved from Moscow say the Nihilists are
held responsible by the police there for two
murders that have been committed re.
Gently. The more horrible of the crimes was
done near Sbornon, in the government of
Kew. A peasant gathering wood in the
forest on the outskirts of the village heard
groans and the wrenching of a body against
trees. After wearysome search he found
ID a secluded gulch naked man bound so
Iast TO sapling that his shoulders almost
touched. His arms had been half stripped
OF flesh and muscle, and wooden gag pre-
vented all possibility of shouting or call
Ing out lntelligently. Wooden spits had
been thrust in the eyes and his trunk was
horribly mutilated. On his breast hung a
placard with these words: Behold the pun
lshment OF spy on the liberators of
Russia"
Inc police, whom the peasant summoned.
found the naked man still alive, but TOO near
death to tell about the assault on him. Two
hours later he died. 1t was subsequently
learned that he was a captain of the secret
police. Tne men who took his life have
concealed every clue to their identity.
The other crime is not so Enthusiastically
Nlhlhstc. Madam de katscheff, a ten
fold millionaire and leader of Moscow So
clety, lived alone in the palace of her late
husband near the fashionable center of the
city. One morning short time ago she
tailed to rise at the wonted hour. Her
maid went TO her room and found her draw
Ing her last breath on blazing bed with a
stocking stuffed in her mouth and the
marks Of the stranger on her throat. The
murderer had not stolen a single piece of
the money or iewelry on the table and had
apparently been anxious only to kill and
conceal the killing by setting fire to the
bed.
AS in the Sbornon case the identity of
the guilty person or persons is not even
suspected, but the fact that greed had
nothing to do with the deed has led all Mos
COW to attribute the responsibility to
Nihilists.
