NORMAN SUBJECTED
TO FEARFUL TORTURE
Horrible Death of an Ameri-
can In Northern China.
JABBED WITH TRIDENTs

Stripped and Chained TO Post-Women
and Children Prick Him With Sharp
Sticks-MoIten Lead Poured on His
Nude Body-Others Slain.
VICTORIA, B. O.. July 19.-Advices
received from North China contain par
tioulars of the awful torture inflicted on
the Rev Ell. Y. Norman, who, with Rev.
O. Robinson, was among the first of the
American missionaries to become vic
Tins of the Boxers. A correspondent
writing from Tien Tsin, on June z, says
some refugees who had arrived there
gathered from the Chinese CHASTITY de-
tails of the torture inflicted on Norman.
1t seems that he fell into the hands of
Lii, the head man of little town near
the Anglican mission, whore he and
Robinson had their headquarters, Ii
had, a short time before, lostA son in a
quarrel between the Boxers and the
Christians, when the converts had driven
off the Boxers from the mission and he
vowed vengeance. This he took in q
horrible manner when Norman was
thrown into his hands.
After his capture by rioters the mis-
sionary was stripped by the retinue of
LII and collar of iron fastened on his
neck. A short chain was attached and
he was tethered to q stake. The Obi
nese men, women and children then
poked sharp sticks into his flesh and
jabbed him with tridents. When he
sank down, weak with loss of blood and
half craZed by the awful torture he was
unable to get upon his knees, even the
chain beng too short, and he was
strangled slowly. Molten lead was then
thrown on his nude body and as he
writhed in agony he was stabbed to
death.
Robinson, the other missionary, was
slaughtered without lingering so long
in agony. A number of the mission
converts We're also slaughtered. Some
were asked to recant and those who did
so to save their lives were saddled and
bridled and forced to crawl to the tenn
pie of idols
