HELD PRISONER
 FOR z YEARS
Lithuanian Never Had Heard
 Of the War

kovino. L,thuanla, Aug. lo.-Fl- One of the most unusual and re- volting crimes in the annals of Li- thuania has just been unearthed near the little town of Telschi
 In 1908. Josas Lukaschius lived in Telschi with his feeble minded brother. Jonas: the former owned sell. He found suitable purchaser in Jonas Stragauskas. who agreed to take over the feeble minded brother together with the farm and 10 care properly for the afflicted man.
 But stragauskas placed the stricken Jonas in chains, weighing l5 kilograms. and fastened the chains to his cellar wall
 For 22 years, the mentally defi- clent Jonas was obliged to wear away his life in this cellar. with no pastime other than counting the links on his crushing chain. During these two decades. the prisoner saw no sunshine and breathed only the damp. mus,y air of the cellar.
 A little girl of the neighborhood happened to find the imprisoned man and told her parents of her discovery. The police were notified and Jonas was rescued
 Jonas body was covered with old scars and fresh wounds. but he was too enfeebled. physically as well as mentally. to move from the spot.
 The pitiable prisoner. who had survived this agony for twenty years, knew nothing of the world war although heavy fighting had occurred betWene 1914 and 1918 in the vicinity of his ill-fated prison.
 Jonas was at once taken to a hospital.
 Stragauskas was arrested and brought to trial. No witnesses could be found to testify against him and. thanks to the Lithuanian legal code, this left no course open to the court, except to sentence straguaskas to two weeks imprlson- ment and fine of 500 litas.
