fighting organization, wished to in
form him that he had been sentenced
to death ito expiate the blood which
your worthless father spilled in Hell
singfors." The note added that to
kill the father would be lesser pun
ishment than the suffering over the
death of his son. The father, when in
command of the cruiser Finn in the
Helsingfors roadstead in 1906, did
much to suppress the Sveaborg mu-
tiny.
