to David R. Francis, the American
ambassador by a Czecho- -Slovak ar
my officer who has arrived at Arch
angel, with dispatches from the
American consul at Tekaterinburg
after long and perilous trip
through two lines OF hostile bolshe-

The officer said he had no definite
information as to the disposition of
the body of the ex-emperor but the
most credited report was that it had
been taken to the deepest pit in the
Yekaterinburg coal mine and there
destroyed, The officer was unable
to learn the whereabouts OF the de-
posed emperor's family, except that
he knew they had been spirited away
from Yekaterinburg.
So far as could be learned, the
commandant of the Yekaterinburg
soviets, who was reported to be a
sailor, killed Nicholas with a revol-
YER. Red Guards who were COM
manded to kill their former EN-
peror, refused. as also did a Lettish

Nicholas dead.
