GEAR AND FAMILY
 MURDERED IN CELLAR

Count A. A. Tolstoy, brother of Count ilya ToIstoy, who is now in New York, both sons of the late Count Tol. stoy, the famous Russian novelist and publicist, was in Berlin during the week of Jan. 25. While he was there the official Siberian Government, estab lished at omsk, disclosed a number of alleged facts in regard to the murder blythe Red Guard of the BoIsheviki. This story was published in New York paper on Jan, 17, and appeared in the Berlin papers two days later.
 Tht. is a paper called the Vremya, -yGolished in Berlin, in the Russian Ian guage. For this paper Count Tolstoy wrote crcumstantial account of the murders, disclosing the last words of Nicholas and the exact manner in which he, his family and attendants met their death. The only difference in the narratives is that while the Omsk officials surmised from the ap- pearance of an upper room, blood stains and bullet marks-that the crime was committed there, Count Tolstoy demin- strates by indirect testimony oS the murderersthatthe cellar was the place On this point tine omsk report reads:
 we found in one of the upper rooms of pr. Ipatieff's house (noW oc- cupled by the staff of the Czech Gen eral Gaida) numerous bullet marks on the walls at scarcely the height of a man'swaist from the floor itself. We can imagine how the miserable prison CTS, forsaken of hope, sat awaiting death, and that when they heard the steps of the ruffians on the stairs they guessed it meant murder-sudden, bloody, and ailembracing. We can i'm agne the walling, broken shrieks of the women, the running feet of the children crazed with terror attempt ing to escape, the siehs of dying lips, the last murmured prayers"
 The full text of Count ToIstoy's mar rative is:
 "As the czechosiovaks and Siberian troops constantly made progress the local Soviet of Ekaterinburg had al- ready become convinced by the middle of July that the undiscplined Red Guards would not succeed in holding the town. So it commenced to re- move armsand food with all speed.
 At the same time the rumor was spread, apparently with intention, that the Siberian troops intended to liberate the Romanoffs in order to re store them to power. This had the desired effect on the Red garrison who became excited, and demanded that the Tsar, with his whole family and all who shared their captivity, should be executed. On July 16 the Red Guards held a meeting at which the Council of the Peoples Commissioners and the Workmen's and Soldiers Council were vehemently accused of having been bribed by Czecho- -Slov- aks and Tsaristic conspirators.
 "The Workmen's and Soldiers Coun- Gil of Ekaterinbura arranged a meet ing for that very evening, which was also attended by plentipotentiaries of the republic, and lasted until 1 o'clock in the morning.
 "The fate of the Czar and his family was decided. Belobodorof, laborer and President of the Workmen's and Soldiers Council, was the first who voted in favor of the execution, and after him Jurofski, President of the Extraordinary Commission.
 "When sentence had been passed

and signed by all the members Jurofski

and signed by all the members Jurofski and Eelobodorof went to the house of the engineer Ienatief, where the czar and his family had been confined, in order to be present at the execution.
 "A section of Red Guards, who had been ordered to carry it out, did not eve mask to read the written sentence, but greeted the verbal statements with loud hurrahs, Making a great din they rushed to the bedroom occupied by the czar and his family.
 ! "When the czar and his wife heard the noise they immediately understood what was happening, and quickly dressed, the Czar himself assisting his son to put on his uniform, Then all knelt in prayer.
 "The terrified Grand Duchesses were i huddled together. the Crown Prince bursting into tears, endeavored to get up and fell Whereupon the czar inter- rupted his prayers and took his suffer ing son ill his arms. The Czarina con tinued praying.
 Then the door was opened and Jurofski, followed by the Red Guards, entered the room. Baroness 5uxherden, alarmed by the noise, rushed to the czarina and fell on her knees by her side. weeping hysterically. With dew ilsh smile, Jurofski, addressing the czar, said:
 "H see you have already prepared yourself
 "'Yes, | am ready replied Nicholas.
 "'sut our visit does not concern you alone,' continued Jurofski, roughly; we are going to wipe out your wife, too, and all your blood
 "Thereupon, with a gesture, he indi- cated the family of the Czar and Bar oness euxherden to the Red Guards, saying: Away with them, and no par doa.'
 "The Red Guards surrounded the condemned family and drove them out through the door, the Czar going first with his son., who had tainted in his arms. He was pale and staggered, but socn recovered.
 "The czarina followed; praying softly and necessarily. The Grand Duchesses and @ Baroness suxherden sobbed convulsiveIy, and had to be dragged by the Red Guards to the place of execution, the cellar of the house.
 "Near the staircase leading to the cellar the victims met another group, consisting of the czar's personal phy- sician, Dr. Botkin; Mme. Schneider, the czarina's reader; Prince Dolgoruky and Count Tatichef.
 "You, to- said the Czar to pr. Rotkn, who trembled so that he could not utter a word. As the Red Guards feared that the bullets from their rifles would rebound in the narrow, tiled cellar, they shot their victims one after another point blank with their revolvers.
 "Jurofski and the Red Guards sad afterward that the Czarina was shot first, then the Grand Duchesses, and finally the Czar.
 "The bodies were put oA motor lorry and removed the same night to deserted mine pit outside the town, where they were drenched with pc troleurn and set on fire. The ashes and carbonized bones were then cov- cred with earth."-New York Times.
