Nebogatoff in the Russo-Japanese war,
were pardoned and released from the
fortress of St. Peter and St Paul
month ago. These officers had been
sentenced to death for having sur
rendered their commands. but in view
Of extenuating circumstances their
sentences were commuted to ten
years Imprisonment. which they be-
gan serving in 1907.
During their stay in the fortress
each prisoner had large, bright, well
warmed room. Before their windows
the fortress gardens stretch down to
the Neva, beyond which stands the
winter palace, once the winter home
of that other prisoner who spends
most of his time in TsarkoeSelo.
In each room were field bed. a
large and a small table, a few chairs.
a wardrobe and washstand. The
windows are covered with iron lat
tice work. At eight o'clock In the
morning the prisoners were served
with tea and their newspapers were
taken in. The sailor takes four news
papers and is keen follower of pol
itics. The soldier scarcely manages
to get through one journal.
At one o'clock luncheon of meat and
soup was served. The meal was not
varied much but the food was ex-
cellent. After luncheon the prison
ers generally walked in the gardens.
At six dinner was served. light
| meal At nine tea was served for the
last time.
The prisoners read as late into the
night as they cared to. Twice week
visitors were admitted, the first day
being confined to their wives. Twice
a month the prisoners took bath in
the fortress bath and on great holi-
days they attended service in the
famous fortress cathedral under a
convoy of soldiers.
