Two Victims Expose
Weird Torture Cult
Charges Of Brutality Lodged Against Three Vancouver
Island Youths in Barn Case

Victoria, B. c. (U.P.)-Three
young Vancouver Island men,
members of a strange torture
cult" known as the United Order
Of Nails" are awaiting trial here
on a charge Of assault on two
youths during a brutal Initiation
ceremony in a deserted barn.
The three cult members, Roland
Burritt, Rupert A. G.. Walker and
Donald Wood, are free on $1,000
bail pending q hearing in the as
size court, probably some time in
October.
It was a weird story that the
victims, William Lindstrom and
Michael Share, told of their treat
ment by the cult, whose practices
appear to resemble rituals staged
by barbarians.
Hired as Musicians
Lindstrom and Share, who are
musicians, said they had been en-
gagged to provide music at an event
described as "A Midsummer
Nights Dream and Masquerade
Dance" When they reached the
place specified, barn in the Sam
ich district, they said they were
told that If they wanted the job
they would have to submit to an
initiation ritual and in addition
would have to pay $3.50 as mem
bership fee in the cult.
However, they were not permit
ted to decline. They were told that
the whole proceeding must be
kept confidential. The cult, the
leaders said, was a secret order
and all it's negotiations and actions
must remain secret. If there were
violations of this code, they would
be punished severely.
Bound With Ropes
Lindstrom and Share, according
to the story they told police
agreed to join the cult, little sus-
pecting the nature of the initia-
ton. They said they were seized
and tied with ropes and strung ur
to rafters in the barn, part of the
time suspended by their feet.
Alum and salt were stuffed into
their mouths and they were then
given vile tasting liquid to drink
Once Lindstrom's head was forced
into a bucket of water and held
there until he gasped for breah

pleted. A large attendance at the
affair which promises to be one
of the highlights of the season,
is expected.
One of the features will be a
bookkeeping exhibition against
time by William Dubay, local man
who holds the New England cham
pionship for speed in chopping.
Mr.. Dubay who was forced out of
the county contest at Storrs several
weeks ago after reaching the
finals, when seized by cramp,
will show those who attend just
what ranks him head and shout
ders in chopping competition
above all choppers in this state.
He is reported in good shape for
the exhibition, and is out to aim
at the state records.
Another enjoyable part of the
outing will be ball game be-
tween the local society and the

Second Proposition

He also suggested that If the
borough wants to connect Church
street with Elm street by doing
away with the sharp corner now
there, the Brockway firm would
give the land to the right of and
in back of the Melbourne gas sta
ton, which would be necessary, in
exchange for borough land across
the street on Elm street.
This is still further in the dis
tant future, but the borough engi-
neer was also ordered to draw uI
an agreement with the Brockway
firm on this proposition. The first
agreement will be submitted to the
warden who will call an informal
meeting of the burgesses. If they
approve, he will sign it and If not
will delay such action. The second
proposition would isolate the gas
station there.
The board voted to construct the
cement walks, curbs and cutters on
both sides of Cherry street and
approved 1t for submission to the
WPA asc a WPA project. Objec-
tons from Mrs. Loretta Moriarity
Johnson. Mrs. Jennie Moss and
Mrs. Helen Sims were heard. The
former two were present at the
meeting. Mrs. johnson said she
put in new cement walk and curb
only year and a half ago and said
she didn't think a new walk on
her section was needed now. She
was willing to pay for curbing, but
thought .38 running foot was too
high for it. Mrs. Moss said her
walk is only bad in spots and did
not want workmen TO rip up the
good sections. Mrs. Sims told the
warden that she was not In finan-
cial position to afford 1t now.
The board also voted to pay to

Anthony Malone, retired member
Of the local police force, about
$3.50. due her. Captain Malone had
been promised $40 monthly in pen
sion more than he got and this
amount comprises the total which
