those dogs were found hanged.
This led to the previous careers of Cheberiak
and her friends being investigated. This was
not difficult. On the 18th of March, 1911, the
day before the murder, the police had arrested
a gang of thieves with whom Cheberiak was
known to have been associated
Mr. Broushkovsky was able to prove that two
or three days before this, there had been
quarrel between Yuschinsky and the children
of Cheberiak, and the former threatened to tell
the police about the woman Cheberiak and the
gang of thieves. And, in Mr.. Broushkovsky's
opinion, there was no doubt that this led to
the boys murder by the gang, they evidently
being afraid of his talking.
-: Many believe, when Cheberiaks son lay dying
and begged to make his confession, it was the
truth about the murder which hs wished to tell.
With all the facts that eventually came into
his possession, Mr. Broushkovsky was able to
reconstruct the scene of the murder. He says
that 4uschlnsky was enticed to Cheberiak's
house. where the assassins, the remaining mem
Der OF the gang, Ivan Latishov, Peter Singaev-
sky and Boris RoudziEsky were awaiting him
The boy was dragged to a small bedroom
by the men. Cheberiak and another woman
kept watch. Yuschinsky was gagged-it must
have been during this time that the screams
were heard-and tortured Singaevsky held his
arms and legs Roudzinsky, butcher by trade,
inflicted the curious wounds his temples
and all over his body. Latishov obtained the
rags, and with the utmost care wiped away the
traces of blood.
The body was drained of the blood the skull
was pierced and wrapped in carpet At this
moment the foul work was interrupted.
A knock was heard at the door, Cheberiak
went to answer it, visitor stood outside

1t is reported that the Bishop of London,
preaching on Sunday in the church of ST. Mary
Magdalen, Paddington, dealt with this subject.
Far be it from me to accuse any man of the
fantastic things our reporters put into all our
mouths; but can believe that he proposed "a
vigorous campaign for a clean, pure life" If
by this he MEANS as / may without offense
assume that he does, life according to the
highest conception his lights can show him.
then he is on the right tack, though. if his
conceptions are at all lofty, he will get more
kicks than hafpence for his pains.
AS long as he sticks to the propagation OF
noble impulses and aspirations he cannot go
far wrong. But if once he turns aside from
that honorable work to the cheap and ran
corous course of prosecuting the people who
do not share his tastes under pretext of weed.

He is reported to have declared that 1T has
been said that no Christian Church has any
right to criticize any play in London"
1t may be that there exists some abysmal
fool who said this. If so, he was hardly worth
the Bishop of Londons notice. The Christian
Church ought to criticize every play in Lon.
