Washington, Dec. 1S.-Rearrange-

chairman" came from several
parts of the audience. The election
proceeded fast. 1t took only half an
hour and the condemned man had
the office thrust upon him of secre-
tary of the meeting.
At this point an unfortunate di-
vergence arose among three of the
soldiers and wClkmen'S delegates.
One of them, I Minimalist, deman-
ded the instant execution of the
prisoner; another. d Social-Revolu-
tionary-i y-internationalist suggested
getting explanations from the Gov
ernment; the third MaXimalist,
proposed that tlley should release
the prisoner ana in his stead exc
cute the eNtcutioner as a servant
and agent of the counter reyOlu
ton.
The drummer got up to decl2im
against the thlrd suggestion, but Af
ter his first sentence he began talk
ing, not to the point, but to demand
the transfer of all the land without
purchase to the masses. A vote of
closure was invoked to cut off his
speech.
A very eloquent speech followed
by the secretary OF the garrison com
mittee, although it was not much to
the point. He said the revolutionary
government was row organized, thai
there was no reason 10 fear German
spies or explosions at powder maga
zines, and therefore, in the name of
the garrison. he called for the dis
The chairman here turned the dis
cussion to the actual subject, put
ting two questions to vote-tirst, the
fate in store for the condemned pris
orcr: second, the fate in store for
the cXCcutiOnCr.
The voting showed d two-thirdS
ma iority in favor of executing tho
sentence whcrcupon the condemned
man expressed dissatisfaction as to
the accuracy Of the voting and de
manded a formal division of the
house. Thus the matter was carried
20 the prison courtyard. and the
yeas and nays Were requested to line
up oil opposite sides OF the gates.
The result was still the same, but
when they looked around Tor the sec
2etary, who WAS also the condemn
ed prisoner. he was nowhere TO be
seen.
1t was explained that he had vot-
ed by marching out at the gate and
had failed to return subsequently.
After some discussion, the meet
ing decided that the disappearance
of the prisoner had disposed of any
necessity of further discussing ques-
tion No. l, and that there remained
before the meeting only question
two, namely, the fate in store for the
eXecutioner.
This time the vote was unanimous,
and the following resolution was
passed:
In consequence of the fact that
the revolutionary people on Febru-
airy 2S to March II gained its free
dom, not in order to down civil lib
erty;' also in consequence of the fact
that EXecutioner Demochkin neglec-
ted to execute sentence on the con-

ded to condemn Demochkin to three

The provincial newspaper PriasoV-

count OF the escape of Russian
military prisoner who had been SEN
fenced to be executed for selling
military secrets to Germany and
plotting explosions in two powder
factories which caused the death of
5000 persons.
When a squad of soldiers and
Government agents had assembled
to watch the bangman do his work
the condemned man startled them by
proposal that. instead of execut-
ing him, they give him vote OF ap-
proyal In the debate which ensued
the eXecutioner narrowly escaped
hanging in place of the prisoner.
The convicted man was elected as
secretary of the meeting and escap-
ed while the vote whether they kill
| him or The eXecutioner was being ta-
ken. The meeting then voted to
sentence the eXecutioner to lmprls-
onment for failure to do his duty.
Smiling contemptuously, the pris-
oner was led to the scaffOld. When
the sentence had been read he rails
ed his hands and demanded to be
heard.
