TERRIBLE CRIMES
Polish Nobleman and Two
Lovely Daughters are Vic

i@O'NDC-N, Jan. ia STdpulC SlOTN
of the murder by drunken Russian
soldiers of Prince Sangushko. a Polish
noble, and Of his two daughters, the
COuntesscs Rzyszczewski, is related
by the Petrograd correspondent of
Lloyd's News.
Before the war the tragedy lately
enacted at Slavuta would have sent
thrill OF horror throughout Europe"
says the correspondent. AS it. is,
the bare fact that the venerable Prince
/ Sangushko, 80 years old, had been
murdered, has been announced, but
the CHASTITY details of the crime have
only just been revealed.
The castle of Slavuta. built when
the district of Southwestern Russia.
where it stands. belonged to the King
of Poland, lies on the outskirts of a
little manufacturing town of the same
name. Owing to the unsettled state
OF the country. which Is infested by
desertcrs from the army. the military
authorities had sent a guard Of dra-
goons TO the castle, which contains
priceless historical treasures accumu-
lated by the Sangushko family in the
course of the centuries.
"One Of these dragons caught a
/ soldier from ncighborinE village
cutting down a tree in the forest sur.
rounding the castle and tackled him.
( The thief was slightly wounded, but
not severely enough to prevent his
| running TO the ncighboring village
/ where his regiment was stationed.
| Shrieking that the guard at the castle
was trying to murder him. The sol
| dicr's comrades at once seized their
/ rifles and surrounded the castle of
/ Prince Sangushko. They began to
! fire, and the dragons on guard re
( turned their fire. All the time the
/ officers and the members OF the rcgi-
mental committee were appealing to
I the in-urgent soldiers to obey orders
t and TO cease firing.
Suddenly they gave way. only stip
UlatinE that a deputation from the
. rcgimcntaI committee should search
| the castle. as they were convinced
that the old prince had stored ma
chine guns for use in the cause of the
Counter.revOlution or course. there
were no machinc-guns, and all that
was found was few sporting guns
and reyolyers.
Just as suddenly as the crowd OF
soldiers. standing I'm the courtyard
peal Of their officers. came Il new up
roar, and, in an instant, they had over
powered the guard. and rushed into
! the castle. Neither threats nor appeals
/ had the slightest effect on them. They
/ destroyed, in fit of maniaCal fury.
, everything that they could lay hands
on. Pictures. furniture, statues, drap-
cries were destroyed bllndly, ruth
| lcssly. The venerable Polish magnato
/ and two nioCCs. the young and bcauti.
/ ful C0untesscs R2yszCzCwski. fed to
/ one of the attiCs. hoping that, if their
/ home was to be ruined. at least their
/ lives might be saved. From early in
/ the morning. when the maraudcrs be
/ gan their attack. until five O'Clock in
/ the afternoon. the saCking of the cas-
. tie went on. Then the soldiers re.
