New Details Of the Tragedy That Wiped Out the Russian Royal
Family July II, 1918 Brought Back to the United States
by COL George H. Emerson Of the Engineer Corps
Scene Unspeakaby Horrible

ST. Paul, Minn.-How the former
empress Of Russia and her Oldest
Daughter knelt In prayer-making the
sign Of the cross, while former Car
Nicholas and his heir were murdered
before their eyes, and how the assas-
sins then turned their guns and bay
onets on the remaining members OF
the ears family and their retinue,
is told in q report brought back from
Russia by Colonel George Ii. Emerson,
Of st. Paul.
Colonel Emerson, formerly general
manager of the Great Northern rail-
way. returned from Russia January
20. He was member of the Ameri-
can railway mission, headed by John
+. Stevens. which was sent TO Siberia
IN November, 1917, to keep open the
Siberian railway in the hope that Rus
sin's forces might be kept In the field.
While the mission was EN- route the
Kerensky government went 10 pieces,
but Colonel Emerson was one Of those
who remained in Russia for twenty-six
months attempting to assist the coun-
try 10 regain its fighting power.
cxechs Investigated Tragedy.
Extracts from a special report pre-
pared by General Dietricks furnish the
basis for the story of the murder of
the former car and his family, and
these are augmented by an investiga-
ton by the Czechs, under command of
General Gaida, who became stanch
friend Of Colonel Emerson.
On the night the czar and his fam
fly were murdered Colonel Emerson
and other members Of the commission
were only about sixty miles. distant.
According TO the report, copy of
which is in Colonel Emerson's posses
sion. the car and his family were
awakened between midnight and / a.
m July IL. 1913. They We're brought
down stairs in their house at Ekaterin-
burg and told the Czechs would soon
be upon them. and that therefore II
would be necessary TO put them TO
death. Almost Immediately the red
guards began firing.
The mutilated bodies of many of
those murdered that night were dis
covered. but 1t is believed that the
bodies Of the car and of the members
Of his immediate family were con-
sumed by great quantities Of sulphurlc
acid Jewelry and trinkets possessed
by them were found near the scene of
the murder. These included many of
the royal jewels.
Daily Life Sharply Restricted.
With the usurpation of the govern
ment by the bolsheviki severe restric-
lions were placed on the daily affairs
of the cznr's family. Thus, valet,
who had been In the cars family for
ten years. stated that after the turn
over "there followed severe restric-
lions both In the funds for the upkeep
of the cars family and In the matter
Of Its occupation, and particularly In
regard to their walks. When de-

After the czar had been done to death
Pavel Medvedyeff, assistant to Your
offsky. and the Let's killed the entire
family and also the court retlnue. The
bodies of the murdered were placed In
Il mOtortruck and sent away, he said.
Later the police officers took away
from Kuzma Letemln about one hun
dred different articles, all having be-
tanned, according to him, some time
during the cleaning of the house after
the murder. Others were taken from
his brother. Mehail, red guard.
Woman Confirms Story.
A similar picture OF the murder is
drawn by the wife of Medvedyeff, the
commandments assistant, confirming
her husbands participation.
Prokopi KuthienkOff, red guard,
who served in the house guard, told
that he was in the Working Mems club
Of the Verk-Issetsk works July 10 or
10, and that the president of the ex-
ecutive committee Of the soviet Of
workmens and soldiers deputies,
Serge Malishkin. the military commits
saire, Peter Yermakoff and other
prominent members OF the bolsheviki
were conducting n secret conversation
Kukhtenkoff said he caught the SEN
tcnce:
There were thirteen of them alto
gether. the thirteenth was the DOCTOR"
AS they moved away. he followed
them and heard one Of them say:
This is the second day we have
been fussing. Yesterday we buried
them, and today we have to rebury
them"
From this he deduced that Levat-
nikh. Partln and KOstaustakuff took
part In the funeral Of the royal family.
Their talk was boastful. he said. and
they told that their victims had been
dressed in civilian clothing, in which
was skillfully sewed many valuables.
He also said he heard one Of the speak
ers deny that the heir had died at
TObOisk, as reported; because he was
one of their victims.
From their conversation he also
learned that the slain first were buried
just outside of Ekaterinburg, but that
later their bodies were distributed to
other places further away.
I General Dietrick's special report
concludes MS follows:
"The correspondence will be sub
mitted to examination for the purpose
of establishing the participation in
the death Of the ex-emperor of the local
and central soviet authorities. Besides
this, m the near future one of the prin-
cipal parties to the murder, In fact,
the direct murderer Of the car, Pavel
Medvedyeff. who has only just been
detained, will be examined.
The committee Of inquiry attaches
great importance to the cross examine
ton Of this witness. since, in nll prob
ability, NIL the circumstances Of the
death Of the former car and his fam
lily will be made clear. It IL probable,
also, that clues rs to the whereabouts
OF the corpses may be obtained, the
search for which. notwithstanding all
the measures taken, has furnished no
results. At the present moment the
business Of investigation has been In
trusted to the examining magistrate
for special cases, MFR. Sokoloff. Also
the necessary steps have been taken to
preserve all articles Of the ex-emperor
md family which We're found ut the
time Of the senrch and which In the
aggregate have nm historical value"

FIVE TENNIS STARS ASK
SUPPORT FOR COLLEGES
Garland, Mathey, Murray, Williams
and Washburn Plead
For Game.

Five tennis players who have been
prominent not only In intercolleg
tennis, but In national and interna-
tional matches as well. have signed
a letter to the athletic authorities of
American colleges, requesting their
support for the reorganfxed Intercol-
legiate Tennis Association.
These men are Charles 8. Garland.
,aptain OF the Yale team; Dean
Mathey. OF Princeton; r. Lindley Muir
ay, former national champion and
,eland Stanford star; r. r.. Williams.
4, former Harvard captain, national
hampton. and Davis Cup player, and
watson Washburn, former Harvard
layer and representative Of the
'nited States abroad In 1919
In their letter they call attention to
,he fact that the United States Lawn
Tennis Association, besides changing
the date Of the intercollegiate cham
plonship from September to June %,
also approved the reorganization of
that body to make it truly national
in scope. with the idea that the in
tercollegiate championship will
eventually rank second only to the
national singles and doubles events.
