horror the deliberate destruction OF
human life, at all times and under all
circumstances, yet 1t declares that
reprehensible as was the murder Of
Grand Duke Sergius 1t was not more
wanton than the massacre perpetrated
by the Russian government January
%, when thousands Of Wlarmed men,
women and children were butchered
In cold blood, and that 1t regards the
murder of those helpless, 1ploffending
men, women and children as one Of
the most dastardly crimes ever perpe-
trated; that refusing TO express the
horror of the people of this country at
that fearful crime, while now assert

Swayne trial rested their case and the
defense opened.
