GOVERNMENT BY EXECUTION
ToLSToY ARRAIGNS THE RUS.
SIAN RULERS.
Criminal Methods, He Says, Are
Used by Them as Well as by
the Revolutionists.

LONDON, July 1.-THE Daily Chronicle
today prints three close columns of the
most passionate and severe indictment
ever penned by Count Leo TolStoy. the
Russian author, in which he shows all his
old vivid literary skill of the present sys-
tenn Of government by execution" in
Russia. the article closing with a noble
appeal to the better nature Of his country
men.
In the course of the article the count
writes:
"I can no longer endure it. I write
this either that these inhuman deeds may
be stopped or that my connection with
them may be snapped and I be put in
prison. where l may be clearly conscious
that these horrors are not committed on
my own behalf or. still better-so that
dare not even dream such happiness-that
they may put on me as on those twelve or
twenty peasants a shroud and cap and
may push me also off a bench SO that by
my own weight I may tighten the we'll
soaped moose around my old throat.
Planned by the Upper Glasses.
After describing wholesale executions in
gruesome detail Count Tolstoy says:
"All this is carefully arranged and
planned by the learned and enlightened
to do these things secretly at daybreak
and they so subdivide the responsibility
for these iniquities among those who COM
NIT them that each may disclatH RESPONSE
bility: and not these dreadful things alone
are done. but all sorts OF other fortunes
and violence are perpetrated In the
prisons, fortresses and convict establish
ments: not impulsively under the sway OF
feelings silencing reason as happens IN
fights or in war, but on the contrary at
the demand OF reason and calcuiatlons
silencing feeling.
What is most dreadful in the whole
matter of this inhuman violence and kill
ing, besides the direct evil to the victims.
Is that it brings vet more enormous
evil on the whole people by spreaoins

Tolstoy instances the shocking spread
If greed among ruffians to obtain money
by executing condemned prisoners, and
says:
Moral Evil Produced.
awful as are the deeds themselves,
the moral and spiritual unseen evil they
produce is incomparably more terrible"
With regard to the governments con-
tentions that there is no other way to
suppress the revolutionists, Count Tolstoy.
while admitting that the revolutionists'
crimes are stupid and reprehensible in
the highest degree, accuses the govern.
ment OF doing the same thing for the
same motive, and adds:
"All the revolutionists bombings and
murders do not come anywhere near the
crinlinality and stupidity of the deeds the
government commits.
Tolstoy argues, at length. that both the
revolutionists and the Russian govern
ment are pursuing the same objects by
the same criminal means. and that it
there is any difference it Is in favor Of

Three Men aud Bundle Seen.
The only clue that. the police have is
one furnished by bellhoy of nearby
apartment house. He said that imme-
diately before the explosion he was sit
ting on the front steps and saw three men
pass. They were carrying a small bundle
and walked in the direction OF Watts
court, where the bomb later exploded.
The boy said he did not see the men
enter the building, as a passing milk
wagon shut off his view, but a moment
later he heard the crash of the explosion,
the force of which threw him from his
chair and an instant later three men ran
swiftly down the street and disappeared.
Although the ponce We're nOtllleQ at once,
it was half an hour before they reached
the building.
Almost directly across the street from
Watts court is the old Watts manor
house, which is occupied by Miss Mary B.
Pinckney. ninety years old, one of the
heirs Of the Watts estate.
Police Mystided.
