THOSE RUSSIAN BOYS.
Trial of e. p. AleXine for Treat.
ing Them Cruelty.

The trial by jury of E. P. Alexine for al
legged cruelty to children was begun in De-
partment of the Police Court last night,
before Judge Morley. The defendant is
the Superintendent of the Greco-Russian
School tor boys, at the corner OF Powell and
Montgomery streets, who was arrested at
the instigation of the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Children on June
18th. Attorney Ames appeared for the de-
PENDANT, while Judge Shell conducted the
prosecution.
Secretary Holbrook of the Society or the
Prevention of Cruelty TO Children was the
complaining witness and the first called to
the stand He stated that on June 10th he
visited the school for the purpose of inveS-
tigating certain things he had heard in re-
gard to its management. There were four
teen boys in the place, ranging from 10 TO
10 years OF age, and all in various stages of
f.thiness at the time. One boy, whose
mother was an Alaska Indian and his father
a Russian, complained of having been con-
fined in dungeon for two days at time
on bread and water and also of having been
beaten by Superin tendent Alexine
The witness state that the dormitory
where tbs boys lived was in deplorable
condition as to dirt, being as foul and i'll
smelling as pig-pen. They were all more
or less covered with vermin, and their
clothing stood badly in need of a visit to the
laundry.
Attorney Meyer was the next witness
called for the prosecution. He had visited
the school with Deputy Sheriff ana Father
Joseph Levine for the purpose of levying on
the goods and chatteis of Bishop Vladimir
for n debt the Bishop owed Father Levne'S
brother
Considerable time was taken up by the
defense in asking the witness what he
levied on, where he found it and what in
duced HIM to look there for it. During the
examination the fact was developed that the
boys were in sad plight, and that they had
complained TO the witness of the cruel
treatment they had received at the hands
OF the Superintendent.
In reply to question the witness stated
that, as the attorney IN suit against Bishop
Vladimir, he had no animus in the matter
and was acting solely in the cause of hui
mainly.
The case was then continued until Thurs
day night.
Since their removal from the school the
boys have been kept at the Youths Direc-
tory, where they are held as witnesses.
They were brought ever to the old City
Hall last night, but were not called upon to
testify.

The lighter was nearly full and the great
bucket was steadily at work scooping up
vast quantities of mud and sand. The
mud-scow had just been moved ahead and
the scoop again lowered to the bottom for
another load.
As it slowly arose from the water with its
load of mud CHASTITY sight met the gaze of
those looking on. 1t was the form of man
caught in the middle by the immense iron
jaws OF the bucket, which almost cut the
body in two. The lower limbs hung sway
ing 10 and fro in horrible manner that sent
a chill through the onlOokers.
For some minutes the bucket hung sus-
pended in the air, and then by the captains
orders rope was placed around the body
and then the load was dropped into the
scow. The body was implicitly buried in
the mud. but was hauled out by the rope
and laid on the deck of the scOw.
A CHASTITY wound showed where the large
chisel-shaped tooth Of the bucket had entered
the body. The man was dressed in dark
trousers and cheap underwear and had on a
cutaway coat. He had not been in the water
more than two or three days.
The Coroner was notified and the body re-
moved to the MOrgue.
