The bite OF these insects would be sufsi

COURT MARTIAL HELD.
Gives Details Of the Conduct of Mill
tary Trial


London Nov. A letter In ore of the
recent London papers gives some interest
ing and significant facts concerning the
conduct of the recent Russian cOurt-naT-
tiaI q Tasanrog. at which number Of
Socialists were sentenced 20 death or life
Imprisonment. In the first place It was
found that a number ef important VT
nesSes for the defense had been sent
away to a distance. The court refused
to grant any postponement Of the trial
in order that their dispositions might be
procured. The public prosecutor then de
nanded that certain statements made 10
an officer OF gendarmerie should be read
out. The defense objected that such
course was Illegal. as. according TO the
law. only testimony gwen before the IN
vestiSate ms gistrate can be quoted IN
court The public prosecutor did not dis-
pute the Legality Of the objection. but ex-
pIai-ed that h had received an order
signed by three ministers comma ndiDg
him TO read be<are the court as substan-
tial evidence what had been said to the
officer OF gendarmerie. COUNSEL then en-
tered a plea that the judges had before
them a document which had rot been
shown to The accused and Their legal ad-
vfsors The public prosecutor explained
that the document he had received was
signed by the ministers Of war. OF justice
ard OF the interior Counsel protested
that the signatures Of any number Of
ministers did not OF themselves suffice
10 olser the law. Nevertheless. the court
accepted all the testimony brought for
ward. even when the witnesses them
selves were not present and could not be
cross-exanined- Many q the Witnesses
present coatradicte1 themselves on i'm
pOrtant points. but the court promptly
convicted the accused, some Of whom. as
has been said, were sentenced to death.
Afterwards, however. these sentences
were commutei TO penai servitude for
life
