Women in Political Murder

stirred since the Breton heroine,
Carlotte Corday, stabbed that mon
ster of the revolution, Marat, in
his bath. But the modern history Of
Russian revolutionaries provides some
equally remarkable stories of heroines
Of the people who have taken upon
themselves the task Of killing those
whom they considered the enemies of
progress and liberty.
The most recent case was that OF
Zinaida Konopliannikova, a Russian
school mistress. who on August 13.
1906, shot dead Major General Min,
commander of the famous regiment OF
the Semenoff guards, at Peterhof rail
way station. She was arrested on the
spot and ultimately condemned to
death by hanging, this being the first
death sentence passed on a woman
since the execution of Sophie Perov
skaya, who was practically the chi ei
organizer of the .nihilist conspiracy
which resulted in Car Alexander II
being blown to pieces on his way &c
the military riding school in St Pc
tersburg on March /. 1881.
| This female assassin was only TWEEN
ty-seven years OF age at the time o.
her execution, but even she was 81,
years older than Marie Spiridonova
who. fired with the wrongs of the Rus
sian peasant, shot the brutal Governor
Dujenoevsky. Horrible tortures were
inflicted upon her in order to fore,
her to confess the names Of her &C
completes and ultimately she wal
tried by court-martial behind CLOSED
doors and sent to Siberia a physica
wreck.
