INGENIOUS HORROR CHAMBER
corvIn Responsible for Death OF 500
Political Suspects and Active Agent
In Torturing Of Ten Times ~
Many More.

London.-Otto Corvin, a hunchback,
was the %ringleader Of the murder and
torture band that operated under Bella
Kun in Hungary, according to Lucien
Jones, writing to The Daily News, OF
London, from Budapest, Jones says
Of Corvin:
Bad 1 not examined the police min
utes taken after the preliminary ex-
animation of Corvin and his associates,
and had 1 not questioned Corvln my.
self, 1 should not have believed such
fiendish tpractices to be possible In the
twentieth century. It appears from
the police minutes and statements Cor
vim has made that he himself was re-
sponsible for the death of five hundred
political suspects and was an active
agent in t~orturing ten times as many
more.
Under his auspices an elaborate tor
ture chamber, with all modern and an'
cient devices, was fitted out In the cell
lars Of the new parliament buildings
and In a basement under the palace Of
Count Bakonye, which is situated In
the main th%oroughfare of Budapest.
The luckless suspects would be dragged
out Of their beds and taken to one
Of the places at dead OF night.
One Of the favoite methods Of tor.
ture was to fix a gag n the mouth Of
the prisoner so that his Jaws remained
wide open, while a lighted match was
held In the mouth until the victim
either confessed knowledge Of counter
revolutionary plans or agreed to pay
a large sum of money.

Another form Of torture was 70
, thrust q dagger down the throat OF tne
prisoner until he assented to their de-
mands. The favorlte method, how
, ever, was to bring a prisoner into q
room where various portions OF the
human body, such as noses, eyes, lips,
ears. which had been cut on previous
victims, were lying on a table. He was
then given a choice Of a form OF dis
memberment If no confession Of money
was forthcoming.
Many died under torture rather than
yield, and every night Q cart calico
around for corpses, which, loosely
strung together, were weighted ana
slung into the Danube.
1t is interesting to note that Coryin
admits that as long as q year ago
plans for this terrorism were laid IN
Moscow, with the active help Of Lenine
and Trotzky.
Another Of the leading t%errorlsts
captured is Gahor Schon, formerly q
sub-lieutenant in the Chinese corps
formed by the bolsheviki. He was
brought into the police station one
morning from the country where he
had been found In hiding by peasants,
He had been terribly beaten and dis
figured. Nearly $4,000 In British n
French notes was found on him, and q
number Of blank forms for the immedi-
ate execution Of any who were politi'
cal suspects under the old regime.
Schon was noted for his extreme
avarice, and confesses to a number OF
cases in which, under his orders, the
gold-flled teeth Of wealthy residents OF
Budapest were pulled out with pincers,
and without an anesthetic.
