Lieutenant General Sakharoff, former

horrible stories of the manner in
which Sakharoff had been repressJg

The following is description Of
Sakharoff's arrival at Hovoanschina
a village of the province of Saratoff.
He came with Cossacks and artil-

by Cossacks, and Sakharoff address

render their leaders. The village
elder replied but gave the general no
information. The elder was immed
lately beaten until he lost conscious
ness.
Sakharoff then retired to the court
house, leaving the peasants at the
mercies of the Cossacks, most OF
whom were drunk, and they began
torturing the peasants, pulling out
their hair and boards and even tear
ing pieces of flesh from their faces
Thirty thousand peasants were thus
maltreated.

ed to her death on the gallows at the
state prison here and paid the pen
atty of numbering her husband, M

ence that had marked her demeanor
ever since her arrest more than
three years ago.
Greatly to the relief of those Off.

hours were remarkably free from har-
rowing incidents. 1t had been feared
that the womans nerve would desert
her at the final moment and that she

Mrs. Rogers met death braVely.
There was no sensational incidents
in connection with the hanging.
Although the woman was not Off

minutes and thirty seconds after the
trap was sprung, she evidently suffer
ed no pain. Her neck was broken at
the second cervical vertebra and she
lost consciousness instantly the trap
fell. A few feeble, convulsive move
ments of her pinioned hands were
the only evidences that vitality had
survived the first shock.
The drop fell at 1:13 p. m. and
Mrs. Rogers was pronounced dead by
the attendant physician at 1:27 IL.
The woman's feet barely touched the
floor for an instant, but the deputies
on the platform of the scaffold i'm.
mediately frightened the rope and
raised the unconscious form a couple

MOTIVE FOR GRISWOLD
SUICIDE is FOUND

Des Moines, Dec. 9.--With the dis.
covery of the details of dual exis-
tence led for nearly year before
his death by the late George r. Girls
void, the last chapter in the extraor-
binary ten days mystery which so
startled Des Moines three months
ago has been laid bare. The admis-
sions of Grace Stockman, a pretty
young girl of "a years, concerning
the illicit household maintained by
Griswold on Ridge street, of which
she was known as mistress, and in
which he was known as Arthur
Stockman, her brother, has added the
closing incident to the many start
ling events of his life which have be.
come common property since his
mysterious death, and bring to light
the strongest motive for suicide
which has yet been found.
For more than year this dual ex-
istence has been a secret, shared dur
ing Griswold's lifetime by three per-
sons-himself, Miss Stockman and
her sister. For many months he sue
ceeded in maintaining his two house
holds, his home on Ingersoll avenue
where he lived with his wife and four
daughters as George II. Griswold, and
his Illicit establishment at 214 Ridge
street.
Since his death the girl, who was
his companion for nearly a year,
whom he had promised to make his
wife as soon as he could secure
divorce, and whose love for him had
originally brought her to Des Moines,
has guarded her secret with jealousy
which kept it from being divulged
even during the rigid examination OF
all his affairs, which was made i'm
mediately after Griswold's death.
On Tuesday night, Sept. IL, when
Griswold disappeared so mysterious
ly as he was preparing to depart for
Omaha on a business trip, he spent
the early hours of the evening at the
| lside of Miss Stockman at Mercy
hospital, where she was lying very
i'll, just recovering from very deli
cate operation. The worries incid-
ent to this illness, the strain of the
secret which he had carried in his
bosom for many months and the fin.
ancial difficulties in which he was in.
volved at the time and which threat
ened to divulge his secret, all these
united to form a motive for suicide
more definite than any which was
discovered after his death.
