BAST|LE 0F POLAND
WARSAW PRISON WITH A BLACK AND BLOODY RECORD.
Many Unfortunates Have Fallen
 There Before the Cruel op- :. pression of the Russian ! Officials.

If the words abandon hope, all ye who enter here," were inscribed in blood-red letters over the portals of the grim prison of Warsaw, they would only tell the truthful story of the fate of most every prisoner who crosses the threshold, for those who retrun after having once incurred the suspicion of the Russian officials and fallen into their clutches, are few indeed.
 At the present time the place is full to overflowing, owing to the recent riots and plotting, and in order to make room for the constant stream of fresh prisoners the mockery of trial is being rushed through with even scanter regard to the rights of the prisoners than ever before.
 Husbands, fathers, sons, and even mothers and daughters are disap. bearing behind the iron gates, never to be heard of again. Perhaps they are sentenced to be shot or hanged after the pretense of trial, or per. haps they are buried alive in the far off place of exile. Of all places in Warsaw it is the most hated and dreaded by the Polish people. Once a fortress and a stronghold of the nobles of the land, it has been made a political prison since the Russian conqueror took possession of the land.
 It is said that since the three days rioting last January, when a reign of terror held the city, the butchery in the citadel has been constantly go- ing on. Men and women have been shot down and then consigned to rn' known graves either within the walls of the place or in the Brudnoc cem. etery, which lies on the other side of the Vistula just outside the boun. daries of the city.
 The fishermen who live near the prison declare that they hear strange, mufled cries coming from the inside walls of the place, and it is said that the Russian officers return pale and trembling from the scenes their duties force them to witness. How many persons have been put to death since last February, when the pres ent movement against the Russian government broke out in Poland, nc one will ever know except the com mandant of the prison and the gov ernor. It is known, however, that the daily courts-martial are not able to make room quickly enough for the newcomers, and this notwithstand ing the additional room which was made in the prison by the withdraw al from the barracks of the regi

ments which were sent to the front.
 The very few who do return from the prison say little. for they dare not tell the truth of all they saw and heard. But their drawn faces, bruised bodies and wrecked nervous system tell the story even more plainly and forcibly than could words. For this reason 1t cannot be considered strange that this dark dungeon has been called the Bastile of Poland: nor need one wonder that the inhabitants of the city shudder at it's red walls and green ramparts. And not only is it the place of ex. ecution for the Poles. but the great guns on the walls are ever turned towards the city and are ready to belch forth their leaden hail of death at the first sign of a general upris- ing against the czar and his officials who rule the city of Warsaw and the land of Poland
 The place was built or rather re- modelled and strengthened by the Russians after the revolution of 1863, the citadel forming the apex of the triangular-shaped Notifications that stretch from the Prussian to the Austrian frontiers. It is to Poland what the Bastile of Paris was to the corrupt and oppressive French kings. or what the fortress of St. Peter and Paul in St. Petersburg is at the pres ent day to the Russian government. It is certain that if ever Poland es- ospes from the Russian yoke 1t will meet the same fate as the French Bastile in the revolution of 1Is9. If the sentence passed is death, the prisoner is hanged or shot in the citadel and consigned to a name. less grave. This grave is generally dug within the precincts of the fort ress. but often the body of the un. fortunate victim is taken to the Brudno cemetery.
 The nameless graves in the Brudnc cemetery are closed over lives that might. in a freer land, have been productive of much good to their fellow men They only asked fo' liberty to act and speak: they ouly asked for shat the AngloSaxo1 ratioz takes as . matter of course

He Says He Was Walking With Davis
Especial to News and Observer.)

Salisbury N c., May 12.-The ex-
animation of witnesses in the Grubb
murder trial was begun as soon as
Rowan Superior court convened this
morning. SO far the State has made
no rest, but by great care is weaving
a strong chain of evidence about the
prisoner. The first witness examined
for the prosecution was Rev. j. H.
Bennett, who resides at Pmey Church,
Davidson county, which was the
scene of the killing of ODE Davis, on
Sunday morning. October 10th.
S. b. Crump was the next witness
called, who testified that he was
walking with Davis towards the
church when Grubb stepped up and
fired the three deadly shots. avDis
was retreating when the two last
shots were fired.
d. T. Fritts and r. w Hartley, of
Davidson county, were next intro
duced by the State, followed by John
Whitman, of Davidson county. All
gave about the same account of the
killing. L. II. Clemen, Esq. of Sails
bury, is conducting the examination
for the prosecution and Hon. G. b.
Watson of Winston Salem, is leading
counsel for the defense.
The trial is tedious, but holds the
attention of large number of visitors.

PENDANTS, Ozement, pleading guilty,

A RALLY OF BLUE AND GRAY.
A Meeting Preliminary to Perma-
nent Fraternal Organization.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, May 11.-Veterans of
the Union ana Confederate forces
gathered here today for a two days
social and non political rally. The
meeting is intended to be preliminary
to a permanent fraternal organization,
national in character of the blue and
the gray and with the idea of holding
in Washington in 1906 a grand reun-
of the new organization to interfere
in any way with any mission of vet
eran soldiers. The speakers this af-
ternoon were Admiral Schley, District
Commissioner MacFarland and Rev.
T. Henry Byrons the organizer of the
movement. Commodore b. F.. Allen,
of Massachusetts, presided Tonight
there were addresses by Rev. Henry
M. Couden, chaplain of the House OF
Representatives and Captain J. T. Grif-
fiths, of Virginia, who served on the
staff of General Joseph E. Johnston.
Mr.. ByrOns read letters from President
Roosevelt and Vice President Fair
banks, expressing their approval of
the movement. Admiral Schley was
given an ovation when he was intro
duced by Commodore Allen as the
man who had done much to cement
the feeling between the North and the
South. The Admiral said he rejoiced
that after the Civil War cur flag had
new beauties for it's friends and new
terrors for the foes. of liberty. The
principles for which we fought in that
war have come to last forever. These
States are perpetuated in indissoluble
union by them.
