Execution of Car and Family
Detailed BY Bolsheuist Writer
Pamphlet Issued, Then Withdrawn, Made Attempt to
Justify the Death Penalty for the RonanoH
Imperial Group-Some Facts Lacking.

BY the Associated Press.
EkATERINBURG, Russia, January
ia bolshevist account of the exc
cution Of Emperor Nicholas and his
family. which took place On the
night of July 16. 1918, has been made
public in a pamphlet written by p.
Bykoff, former chairman of the
Ekaterinburg soviet.
1t was inspired by the communis;
opinion that the story of the execu-
cution should be told from the boil
shevist side. But apparently it did
not meet with the approval of the
higher officials. for, although it was
1921. it was Immediately Withdrawn
from circulation. The book was
printed by the state printing de-
partment of the Ural district gov
eminent in this city and gives a gem
eral review Of the labor revolution
In the Trails. The last chapter in it
records the emperor's death and is
entitled "The Last Days of the car -
The book was obviously censored
carefully before 1t was published, as
1t lacks many details Of the execu-
ton which ordinarily would have
been given by eye-witnesses. 1t at

sacks were then threatening Eka-
terinburg from the south: the
Czechoslovak forces were pressing in
from the east and letters had been
received showing that plots were
being formed to deliver the imperial
family to the ter-revolutionists.
Two extracts from letters are quoted
as evidence of the existence of these
plots.
Members of Family Stunned.
According to Bykoff's account the
last words of the emperor when he
and his family were led unexpectedIy
into the basement of their prison and
told that all the Romanoffs must die
were: But are We not to be taken
anywhere"
The empress and her four daugh-
ters the Grand Duchesses Olga
Tatiana. Anastasia and Marie) and
the little czarevitch and the remain
Ing members of the household of
eleven were so stunned that they
said nothing when Avdieff, the com
mandant of the house, ordered them
20 line up against the basement wall
and pronounced the sentence.
Bykof saws that a firing squad of
four shot the former imperial fam
lily with revolyers. The identity Of
the members of the execution squad
is not revealed.
The pamphlet places the RESPONSE

read the sentence. according to BY
koff's story, and there were only four
witnesses. But it is not indicated
whether Avdieff shot or even viii
messed the death Of the imperial
family.
There were no statements in BY
koff,s account which indicate that the
Cral district soviet carried out the
execution under direct orders from
Moscow.
In Ordinary Wearing Apparel.
The Romanoffs were in their ordi-
nary clothing when shot. II was not
their custom to retire until long after
10 o'clock at night. Consequently. all
were still dressed when the Inflated
group of eleven was unexpectedly or
dered to the basement and shot.
Bykof'S story says the guards out
side the house and the public were
kept in ignorance Of the shooting by
a noisy automobile outside. which
drowned the pistol reports.
At l o'clock the next morning the
from the house and taken TO a neigh
boring woods. There the clothing
was removed. The bodies were burn
ed first and then the clothing. By
koff says the jewels and fragments
of jewelry which Admiral Kolchak :
officers later claimed to have found
in the ashes We're probably concealed
in the clothing and overlooked by The
men who disposed of the bodies.
In addition 10 the cZar and CZarina
Alexandra and their four daughters
and one son. the persons who met
death in the basement were Prince
/ Dolgoroukoff, DIR. Bodkin, who WAS
physician to the Romanoffs: a lady
n-waitinE and a man who WAS nurse
to the czarevitch. The names of the
last two are not given in Bykoff
pamphlet.
Grand Duke Michael, brother Of the
late car. was shot az Perm in July.
1918, according to Bykoff's account,
and the Grand Dukes Sergius Mix
hailovitch, Igor konstantinovitch
Konstantin konstantinovitch and
Ivan Konstantinoyitch were killed
about the same time at Alapaievsky,
north of Ekaterinburg. These mem
bers of the Romanof family had
previously been held as prisoners in
Ekaterinburg, but were transferred
because of the uncertain position or
Ekaterinburg with the approach Of
the CzechoSlovaES.
