The secretary declared that so far

TURKS SLAUGHTER.
THEIR PRISONERS
Armenian Girl Declares She
Saw 800 Priests Shot
by Carcassians.

NEW YORK, July 11.-One of the
most pitiable stories of savagery prac-
ticed by Turks or Circasslans upon the
Armenians deported during the war
from their homes into the country of
the Arabs is told by Victoria Varshab-
dian, a girl of Is years. Her story has
been made public here by the American
committee for Armenian and Syrian re-
lief, The girl was the daughter Of a
well-to-do merchant who bad a shop
In Constantinople and another at New
sher, Turkey, where the family lived.
In her narrative to a British ply
stefan she said hat her father n four
brothers were ~deported and that her
father died while on the journey from
a blow inflicted by a gendarme. Car
gold, they were marched south to the
vicinity Of DER Es-Zor (probably oil
the .Euphrates river). There they
found a great congregation of refugees,
said to number 1000 families.
While at Deir-Es-Zor, Murad or Su-
var, the girl said 20 Armenian priests
were taken from among the refugees,
bound together, sent away and killed.
In the river at Suvar she saw 100 bodies
Of men, women and children, some with
their heads off.
After collecting a ransom, the mutcs-
sarif ordered the men Of the refugees
brought before him ito sign a paper"
The next day she said she saw the Cir
cassions shoot dow 300 of them. Then
the mutessarif, Zeki Bey, ordered nine
Of the bodies of the Armenians placed
In the road and drove his carriage over
them. He announced that he would
XIII all the male refugees over two years
old. Up to that time her brother had
escaped death by bribery, but he was
taken away with the others, and on
leaving said to his mother: Mother,
| am going TO die. Give me your hand
and | will kiss 1t. Forgive me my
thing l have done wrong to you. Good

She declared also that she saw Ar
menians killed by driving wooden
stakes through them, that two were
buried alive by the Arabs and that
eventually the Circassions began to XIII
all the women and children with their
knives, Her description of this mas
sacre Is too awful to be told, for she
gives details of the fiendish manner in
which 1t was accomplished.
Afterward Victoria was separated
from her mother and sent to the tent
OF an Arab, where she remained for
two weeks. In that period. she said.

She escaped from the Arabs tent,
