Ill received no consideration"
As far as could be learned by the
examination of inhabitants the leaders
in the murder were Commissaire
Youroffsky and his assistants, a work
man of the Issetsky works, Pavel Med
yedoff; and the red guards, Levatnik,
Partin, Kostaustoff. Mehail Letomin,
Sterkorin and Yakimoff. Some of them
boasted Of their participation.
The tragedy of July II, 1918 was de-
scribed by Caplolina Agafonovka in
the words of her brother, Anatole
Yakimoff, one of the red guards of the
house of Ipatyeff She said on the day
following the murder her brother came
to her, tired and broken down, and in
great agitation announced:
This night Nicholas Romanoff, his
family, the doctor. the fraulein and the
lackeys were killed. All of the cap
tives were awakened between midnight
and one O'Clock and requested to go
downstairs. Here they were told that
the enemy (Czechs) would soon be in
Ekaterinburg and that therefore 1t
was necessary that they be put to
death. Then and there the red guards
began to shoot at the cars family.
The first to be killed were the en-
peror and the heir The rest Of the
prisoners were wounded. They had to
be finished off by further shooting, bat
tering with the butt ends of muskets
and stabbing with bayonets.

There was particularly great trou-
bile with the fraulein. She was wrig-

with a pillow. On her body 30 wounds
were counted. The grand duchess,

When we began to examine her she

killed with bayonets and rifle butts"
+ According to Yakimoff, the murder
scene was SO unspeakably horrible
that he could not endure it.

The evening following the murder
Yallimoff left for the front, and when
he came to bid farewell he was utter
ly out of countenance. His face was
pinched, the pupils of his eyes dilated,
and his lips were trembling.
Another red guard, Kuzma Letemin,
related that on the day of the murder
he was to have taken his post in the
sentinel booth in the street, when he
observed q boy of the emperor's house
hold in the street. When he inquired
why, another Of the red guards, Ste
korin, told him of the murder Ac-
cording to Stekorin's story Command
ant Youroffsky had killed the car,
having previously read to him some
paper, presumably the order of the
Ural soviet of deputies. He told that
during the murder both the empress
and her eldest daughter were present,

New Details of the Tragedy That Wiped Out the Russian ROYAL
Family on July II 1918, Brought Back to the United States
by Col George H. Emerson of the Engineer Corps
Scene UnspeakabB Horrible.

st. Paul. Minn.-How the former
empress of Russia and her oldest
laughter 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 guLs and bay
onets on the remaining members of
the ears family and their retinue,
is told in a 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 a 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
sla's forces might be kept in the field
While the mission was en- route the
Kerensky government went to pieces,
but Colonel Emerson was one of those
who remained in Russia for twenty-six
months attempting to assist the coun-
try to regain its fighting power.
czeohs 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-
tion by the Czechs. under command Of
General Gaida, who became a stanch
friend of Colonel Emerson.
On the night the car and his fam
lily were murdered Colonel Emerson
and other members of the commission
were only about sixty miles distant
According To the repcrt. COPY OF
which is in Colonel Emerson's posses
sion the ear and his family were
awakened between midnight and l q.
m. July II, 1918 They were brought
down stairs In their house at Ekaterin-
burg and told the Czechs would soon
be upon them, and that therefore it
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 it is believed that the
bodies Of the car and Of the members
of his immediate family were con-
sumed by great quantities of sulphuric
acid, JeWelry and trinkets possessed
by them We're 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 bolsheyiki severe restric-
tons We're placed on the daily affairs
of the cars 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 czar's family and in the matter
OF its occupation. and particularly in
regard to their walks. When n de-
mand was unexpectedly made by the

Profit in Coyote PeIts.

Pawnee Rock, Kan.-Due to the
high prices being paid for coyote pelts,
in addition the benefit derived from
lessening the mararders population,
hunting coyotes has developed into a
popular pastime in this vicinity this
season.
AS the pelts sell for from IS to $12
each and the state rays a bounty of
$1.25 for each scalp. one kill" dag
nets q good profit to the hunter.

MOTORING hardly needs an extra
1vA lure when early spring begins to
call us out of doors, but If it needed
one, the new coats and eapes would
surely provide it. Already we are ac-
cused of cultiyating the gasoline tramp
and the motor hobo in the wide
stretches of this country with some
thing worth while at the end of each
Journey.
Among the new and very attractive
wraps for the motorist there gre long,
enyeloping capes in soft wool plaids,
fringed at the bottom with wool fringe
and provided with Sits for the arms
and big patch pockets for belongings j;

which is wide in both the front and
back, nor neglect to notice that an or
candle frill finishes the taffeta hat.
White cotton sox and canvas shoes be-
long with a dress of this kind.
Next to the plain colors for frocks
of this kind, small checks in white
and color find the most favor. They
all requisition plain white, in organdie
or in a heavier weave, to touch up the
color and give the frock daintiness..
In the little frock pictured we find 81
dress equal to dress-up requirements,
and in it the young maid may make
her journeys to Sunday school or to
parties with equal assurance.

and were making the sign of the Cross.
After the car had been done to death
Pavel Medyedyeff, assistant to Your
offsily, and the Let's killed the entire
family and also the court retinue. The
bodies of the murdered were placed in
a motortruck and sent away. he said.
Later the police officers took away
from Kuzma Letemin about one hun
dred different articles, all having be-
longed to the cars family, and OBJ
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. a red guard,
who served in the house guard, told
that he was in the Working Mems club
of the Verk-Issetsl works July Is 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 bolsheviSi
were conducting a secret conversation.
Kukhtenkoff said he caught the SEN
tence:
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 reburg
them"
From this he deduced that Levat-
nikh, Partin 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
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.
General Dietricks special report
concludes as 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, in the near future one of the prin-
cipal parties to the murder, in fact,
the direct murderer of the car. Payel
Medvedyeff, who has only just been
detained. will be examined.
1.-THE committee of inquiry attaches
great importance to the cross-examina-
ton of this witness, since. in all prob
ability, all the circumstances of the
death of the former czar and his fam
lily will be made clear. 1t is probable,
also, that clues as 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. Mr.. -Sokoloff. Also
the necessary steps have been taken TO
preserve all articles of the eX5emperor
and family which We're found at The
time of the search and which in the
aggregate have an historical value"
