| that TumanOff, a tramp, was to be
| hanged at Alexandroffsk for shooting
at guard. And now he came from
his settlement to apply for the pros
pective job.
Nobody can hang as we'll as t.
He had hanged 13 men in Sakhalin,
and, being a specialist, hoped to earn
| the three rubles. In the meanwhile,
pending the execution, he hired him
self out to the wife of a settler to
mind her children. Such are the Gus
toms of Sakhalin.
Komleff came from Kostroma, in
central Russia, where he had studied
| for the ministry, and was fond of
Scriptural texts, particularly from the
Old Testament. He was sentenced
to 20 years hard labor for highway
robbery in broad daylight, and for
attempted murder. He fed in 1882
from Sakhalin, but was caught at
the narrowest point of the Tartar
straits, having almost crossed over
the continent. For this attempt he
received SO lashes with the knout, and
his time was extended another 20
years. Executioners were very busy in
those days. and Terski, a famous SAX
halin executioner, needed helper.
The convicts drew lots, and Komleff
was chosen for the post.
| But Komleff still dreamed of free
dom. In 1889 he again broke Jail. was
caught again, and received Is years

"Fifty-five. years hard labor" proud
ly exclaimsk Komleff. Besides, he was
sentenced 10 As lashes with the knout.
Terski waited on his pupil.
We'll, dear scholar, lay thee down,
and / will show thee how to knout,
said Terski. And he showed" him.
Thirteen years later Komleff said to
me, 81 am still rotting." He barred hts
back. His body looked as If it had
been scared and branded with hot
irons. 1t was terrible to see. Thick
white scars covered a portion of his
back, and elsewhere instead of skin
was seen a thin reddish membrane
The punishment must have been some
thing dreadful Thus one execution
er TESTED with another. But soon Ter
Iski was detected taking . bride from
a convict and promising to spare him
in consideration.
Terski was sentenced to 200 blows
with rods, and Komleff was called
upon to administer the punishment
"You taught me to handle the
knout. will show you what can be
done with rods" he grinned. Tersk
