SOVIET HAS BULLET
CURE FOR BANDITS

MOSCOW--A wave of crime, princi-
pally street robberies, murders and
holdups, has made the streets of Mos
COW unsafe after nightfall for the first
time in three years.
So serious has the situation become
that the government has been obliged
to return to the methods used in l9l9,
when it succeeded in stamping out
street banditry by means of the firing
squad.
Twenty highwaymen were shot in
the "death corridor last week. Five
more were condemned to death today,
and two other trials are already in
progress.
Death is the legal penalty for steal
ing in Soviet Russia.
Formerly robbers were often shot on
sight without trial. They are now
given open and public hearings in
court. The same principle is followed
against grafters, namely, that the
greater the publicity the greater tho
object lesson.
Prisoners are no longer stood up
against u well before n squad. They
are shot singly, their cxccutiOner dis
charging n revolver into the back of
their heads as the two walk down a
corridor in the Cheka, known as the
death corridor.
A prisoner never knows exactly
when he is to make this last walk. A
guard appears at his cell door and sum-
mons him to pass before him. 1t may
be an ordinary transfer to another cell
1t may be death.
