dent of the local cooperative, presi.
dent of the rural soviet and secretary
of the Communist group of Salo.
novka village, in Altai Province, in
southwestern Siberia, disclosed an
amazing career of official outlawry.
The culprits, according to testi.
mony, ruled the village with despotic
power for five years, numbering any
one who objected to their acts, until
the countryside was terrorized. Being
heads of the local gendarmerie, the
latter perpretated crimes under their
orders until finally the chiefs Of the
two neighboring villages were invited
to join the gang to extend it's field
of activities.
They not only collected taxes which
they kept themselves, but they i'm
prisoned. murdered and robbed pros
porous peasants and merchants, off,
cially reporting that they had mys-
teroiouSly disappeared. One member
of the trio even carried away the viii
lage library building for stable for
his farm. The boldest scheme was to
offer haven to army deserters, who
later. in order to escape arrest, were
forced to steal horses and cattle. The
officials than gave the thieves docu-
ments Identifying them as honest
traders in order to dispose of the
stolen stock.
The latest murder, in which gen.
darmes called a prominent peasant to
the door of his home and shot. him.
reached the ears of the provincial
authorities. The trial resulted, at
which death sentences were passed on
the three traders and terms of i'm
prisonment were given for lesser
officials.
