A story reaches London to-day from Russia

eight years ago o Russian lad 18 years old
Ivan Rykor. who drank too much vodka at

those days hs was condemned to the Siberian

petition praying to be released. His plea pro-
duced an impression on the officials. and Ry-
koff was set ut liberty. but only for few
days. On further consideration It was decided
to bring him to trial In court he related the
story fully and frankly. throwing himself
upon the mercy Of the Judges. Justice. how
